These last few weeks we have have been working on making an human impact ad campaign . My group is water and we are designing an ad that shows the human affects on water and about how it's disappearing. We worked with the human impacts institute to makes ad campaigns. we also made surveys and went outside to ask strangers about there effects on the environment. We also worked together in groups and decide on what ideas to use for our ads. We made pictures and a catchy slogan that people will understand from just looking at the ad. We had to make our own ideas and then mix them together. Finally we decided that our slogan was going to be " water you going to do when its gone?". Another thing we did in science was we tested the hardness of water from 3 different places like water from Brooklyn, water from the school water fountain and water from the class fish tank. We tested the tubes of water and used color to find out things about the water. We got into groups water, energy, waste and transportation.
We learned from our surveys that most people don't care about the environment or recycling. We also learned that most people are rude...and don't want to answer your questions. From our surveys we learned that it was difficult to make up questions to ask strangers because you don't know these people so the questions can't be to private. Doing our own surveys we learned how much water we used and how it affect our environment. We worked on different time periods for the cups years like 1997, 2007, 2017, 2027. We used different tools from pens to markers to sharpies trying to make our final design perfect. Also we learned as a group that some ideas aren't as cool as think they are or they are too difficult to draw. We learned to work together as a group and we learned to work hard and that everyone has to do their fair share of work. We learned how to manage time and work out problems without arguing.
