Batteries and their effect on the environment

Posted on May 18, 2017 by matthewnps11

In Room 11, we have been learning about the effects batteries can have on our environment. The students worked in groups to suggest a school-wide program that could reduce the number of batteries Norwood Primary School students dispose of in landfill.

Geography – Year 7s

Posted on May 20, 2016 by danilaw

What statements can you make from the following graphic?

Cartographer/designer Philippe Rekacewicz, UNEP/GRID-Arendal

It is predicted that Niger will possibly have water stress by 2025.
Khushi

By 2025 Morocco will have very scarce water levels. Morocco might possibly be below 1 000m3 per person per year.
Xander

The water scarcity in Lybia might be less than 1 000m3 per person per year, by 2025.
Andre

In 2025 Egypt might have less than 1 000m3 of water per capita.
Daisy

Researchers predict that Niger will have water stress by 2025.

The map shows that there is a possible water scarcity in the coastal regions of Africa.
Rancis

In 2025 Algeria will probably have less than 1 000m3 of water per person per year. This means they might be in water scarcity.
Elise

From this chart it is predicted that Egypt will possibly have water scarcity by 2025.
Olivia

By 2025 Libya could have extremely scarce rainfall that will go down to 1000m3/capita/year.

Researchers predict that by 2025 Egyppt will have less than 1000m3 per capita per year.
Camden

By 2025, it is estimated that people living in Tunisia will have less than 1 000m3 of water per year. This high water scarcity will affect all life in the country.
Ruby

In 2025 Libya is highly likely to have lesss than 1 000m3of water per person per year.
Lola

In the year 2025 estimates have shown water availability will be extremely scarce in Egypt. Only under 1 000m3/capita/year. Water usage will most likely be strict in Egypt by 2025.
Jasper

Water could be extremely scarce in Egypt by 2025. There could be as little as 1 000m3 of water per capita, per year. This could also bring stress to the country.
Candace

In 2025 Nigeria is possibly going to be under stress having only 1 000 to 1 700m3 of water per person per year.
Audrey

In 2025, it is most likely that Niger will have 1000-1700m3/ capita/year of water which will put a lot of stress on the country.
Oliver

What can you infer from this graphic?

Yemen might withdraw more than 40% of the total water available by 2025.
Andre

In 2025 Egypt might be using more than 40% of the total water available.
Daisy

In 1995 Niger consumed from 20% to 10% of water they have and by 2025
Niger will possibly consume 40 – 20%.
Rancis

Since 1995 Egypt has been withdrawing more than 40% of their total available water. It is predicted that this will last until 2025 at least.
Stef

In 2025, Nigeria will most likely have only 1000m3 of water per person for a whole year which means they will be under stress.
Daniela

Since 1995 Algeria has withdrawn from 40% to 20% of its available water. It is predicted that in 2025 it will be using more than 40% of its available water.
Elise

In 1995, the water withdrawn from the total amount of available water in Egypt was more than 40%. According to the data from researchers, there is a chance that this may remain the same by 2025.
Mai

Researchers predict that Egypt will withdraw more than 40% of their total available water by 2025.
Camden

Scientists predict that Gambia will withdraw less than 10% of their total available water.
Finn

In 1995, Tunisia was withdrawing more than 40% of the water available in their environment. It is estimated that this will still be the same in 2025.
