Oscar and Conner and Their Scientific Thinking


Two Calista students are very concerned about the wasted water at their school and are doing something about it.  They have identified the problem, taken some photos and developed a plan.  At Millennium Kids, we get very excited when students think so scientifically and creatively about environmental issues.  Here we have some problem-solvers of the future!  Here's the plan.

WATER SAVING PIPE SOLUTION
                                              
Hi, I’m Oscar and my friend Connor is working on making a water saving pipe system.  It is going to take a while to build because it is complicated and big pipes are involved with this project.  We will need 2 large funnels, 1 pool filter, 2 large Gas and Liquid Nitrogen canisters, 2 medium sized metal chambers, 1 large mesh piece, 1000 kilowatt motor, cement and 50 pipes.
The tools we will be trying to get hold of are shovels, and a jackhammer.
It works by collecting the water  from the air con and the rain.

I am looking forward to hearing the progress of this idea!

  1. Imagine this. Today I was at the Grove Library, an amazing sustainability building in Cottesloe - Peppermint Grove and I was talking about the boys project, when who should walk in but a man and a baby. He started talking about the building. He seemed to know a lot. I introduced myself and told him about the students from Calista PS and he got really excited. It turned out he was the architect - yes - the man who designed the energy saving, water saving 5 * energy rated building. AND HE WANTS TO MEET THE CALISTA KIDS - WOOT WOOT WOOT. I WILL BE CALLING YOU SOON. CAT MK
