As
part of our topic on the environment, we visited Cog Moors
Environmental Centre.
First
we talked about the many ways we use water. We found out that the
average water use for one person is 150 litres per day! Next we did
an experiment to find out how much water we waste. We were very
shocked to learn just how much water one dripping tap can waste! We
also found out about the different ways we can save water.
Later
on we had a tour of the water treatment works, where we saw the water
being cleaned at different stages. In one part it was very smelly and
some of us had to hold our nose!
In
the afternoon we did a little test to find out what can be safely
flushed down the toilet. We learned that the only things you can
flush safely down the toilet all begin with the letter P! Can you
guess what they are?
We
had lots of fun & learned lots about water efficiency.
