We are a group of students from 2ndB who has collaborated with the Comenius team in the ecoauditof our school.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE RESEARCH
Working on the research about waste
generated in our school,
we drew attention to
the big amount of waste
that students produce
during break time.
We decided to investigate
about the type of wrappers used by
students of IES Comarcal
to wrap middle morning snack
In Spanish schools, we usually have a half hour break at eleven o’clock to have a snack.
Introduction: Break-time
Why do we have a snack?Because many schools finish at 2pm and we need to eat something so that we have energy for the next three hours of class.
● We prepared a questionnaire of 4 questions● We asked students from all of the year groups(1rst,
2nd, 3rd, 4th) of our high school about the snack wrappers they use during the week.
● We asked 73 boys and 73 girls
