Year 6.1 took part in the GLOBE Program to gather surface temperature data. We used a handheld Helect Infrared Thermometer to record the heat of the surface of 5 different sites within the school. We chose 5 different sites which have different types of surfaces. One site is soil and grass in the shade; one has soil and grass in the sun; one has cement which is in the school yard and one has asphalt which is in the main road in front of our school. We collected data for 5 days for 3 months. We did December, January and February. We took 9 different readings of each site. We wrote all data on a sheet, then we inputted all the data on the GLOBE site. The aim of this research is to understand how different surfaces radiate energy. We discovered that temperature on natural surfaces like soil is cooler, especially with wet grass. The highest temperature we recorded was on asphalt. In the end we wrote this report.

By this picture we are trying to show that many people are ignoring plastic. We can see a lot of plastic on our greenery and people are not doing anything about it. We should recycle all this plastic as it protects the environment. Plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources, and also the ecosystem. This plastic usually ends up in the ocean and harm marine life.

It has become such a rarity to see such lovely creatures when you walk in the countryside because of our so-called progress. We keep destroying their habitat either by building or because of the decreasing water areas. It was a lovely surprise to meet Mr. Frog.

So many skips and yet it seems they’re still not enough for some people. It’s amazing and disgusting how, after so many years using bring-in sites, there are still some people who can’t use them properly! Laws should be enforced on such people. It’s the only way they will learn unfortunately.

When we throw away something, where does it really go? Waste is something we can never get rid of, and has detrimental effects on the environment. Despite this, there are ways to reduce its impact it has on our Earth through sustainable waste management.
