TMIS. #10

This month in science what we did was make human impact campaign . We broke into four groups for energy, water,waste, and transportation. My group of energy did a list of question to do with energy. We tested different things that use up energy. Those questions were put on a survey that we would use to ask people out in the community of lower manhattan . We used the data from the survey to make graph of the information.  We started coming up with slogans for are campaign. We came up with the phrase "Save Energy, Save the Wold".  The last thing we did was come up with a t-shirt design which was a power outlet catching on fire and crying. We used it as a intresting way to catch attention to over usage of energy.

This month in science what I learned was the difference between qualitative questions and quantitative questions. While testing items like an alarm clock, curling iron , blow dryer,  pencil shaper,  phone charger , I learned that the alarm cock uses the most energy. When I went out to survey people in the community I learned that not most people claim to be very conservative of the energy they use in their household. And I also learned how to graph and organize data in a google doc. And when we made the slogans I learned we could do two types of one that will make the people aware of are human impact topic and one to get attention to it.

Human Impact Ad campaign

My human impact Ad's show's the world when Energy is used too much. The world looks wasted in the second image and it looks normal in the first one. The reason I drew it like this was because the over use of energy can destroy the planet. And drawing the earth came to my mind first because are slogan has the word , world in it.

When it comes to ocean power, wind turbines get all of the attention.  below the surface of the infamous East River, tidal turbines are getting ready to make a big statement in the New york. in 2006, Verdant Power started testing tidal-driven turbines in New York City’s East River.  Since then, the company has installed six battle-tested turbines that have generated electricity for several nearby businesses.Now Verdant wants to take the next step and build the nation’s first grid-tied, full-scale tidal power plant.The company recently filed an application with federal regulators that would allow it to install up to 30 tidal turbines in the East River.  The turbines would generate about 1 megawatt of electricity, representing just a fraction of New York State’s potential tidal power, estimated to be anywhere between 50 to 500 megawatts . Making the use of energy eco-friendly.

I think this article was boring . But I do think it is smart to use a resource like water to make energy since we have a lot of it.
