The ecological footprint

Worksheet 9


We went to a webpage for to calcutate our ecological footprint. We draw our foot in a paper, and now, we multiply de result of the webpage for a million because in the webpage, the results are in dam2. We mesure the width and the length of our footprint, and then we multiply these two results to get the area. Then we divide the result by the results of the webpage by the area of our footprint. Our ecological footprint is:








We have the same ecological footprint: 385.000.000 cm2 . Clàudia's footprint is 126 cm2 and Laura's footprint is 138 cm2.The total results Clàudia's is 3055.555,5 and Laura's is 2789855.

The density of transports

Worksheet 4
Hello! The previous activity was consisting of counting(telling) the different transports(cars,buses,taxis,bikes,pedestrians) that were happening(passing) for: Casp, Pau Claris and Gran Via. We use a book-keeper (meter) and a chronometer and distribute the work. We count during five minutes and then it we divide the result between(among) five. The result is the following one:








We have reached the conclusion that in Gran Via in there are pollution, to be a main street spend many more vehicles while Pau Claris spend more than Casp because intersects streets very important: Gran Via and cross the city the North to South. The results of Casp are more smaller than Pau Claris and Gran Via because Casp very short and is very good to the pedestrians.
The pedestrians prefere walking in Casp because is a comercial street and is not noisy than Pau Claris and Gran Via.

Mobility and ways of transport

Worksheet 3
Our aim was to measure the width of the street, and then separate the sidewalk. We mesuare the length of the steps of a partner with a ruler. And then we multiply the length of the step by the number of the steps. We mesure Pau Claris, Gran Via and Casp, they are three streets near to our school.


The % for cars in Gran Via is the more than half because it is a main road and very important, but the others are more than people because the % for cars are more low. There are more pollution in Gran Via because many spend between coches.Y Casp and Pau Claris, Pau Claris has more traffic Casp.
