- Question for investigation
We are investigating rubbish located on the foreshore between Mill Creek and Watson’s Creek, Karoro.
- How will you gather your data? by going to the beach and finding rubbish.
[
- What variables might be present within the data. Ten Variables.The groups of the different things we found and what categories they would be in.
- Collate your data on to a google spreadsheet.
| Wood | Vehicle Parts | Hard Plastic | Soft Plastic | Fabric | Bones | Glass | Metal | Miscellaneous | Fast Foods | Cans | |
| 12 | 5 | 133 | 119 | 19 | 24 | 95 | 20 | 22 | 13 | 54 |
- Create a graph using your collated data. Remember to include title and labels.
- Analyze your data making comparisons between your variables. There is a lot more hard plastics and soft plastics then all the rest of the other rubbish. But if you added all the other rubbish together it would be a lot more than the hard and soft plastics. All together we found around 135 pieces of hard plastic that is the glass metal and wood put all together!!
- Our question for further investigation: What will we find if we clean up the whole grey district?
I think the rubbish pickup was really fun to do because the group found a full can of beer and lots of more cool stuff.
