  1. Group IV Project 2012:The Greening of ECA How to reduce our school’s impact on the environment

  2. Group IV Project Overview • The group 4 project is a requirement of the IB Diploma Program.   • It is intended to be an interdisciplinary project of Physics, Biology and Chemistry emphasizing collaboration and group work.

  3. Where humans meet the environment • What do people consume? • What do people produce? • What do people compete with? • What are the impacts of these actions? • How can the impacts be reduced or eliminated? • Can our actions benefit the environment of the school and its surroundings?

  4. What do people produce that is not necessarily beneficial

  5. What do we consume?

  6. What are the alternatives

  7. When two problems produce a solution • Problem 1: I need to heat my swimming pool so that students will be comfortable during swimming lessons.

  8. I have a lot of food waste from the cafeteria, what can I do with it?

  9. Solution • We can build a compost pile, get rid of the excess food waste and heat the pool. • I wonder what biology, chemistry and physics knowledge we could apply to make this work.

  10. The Plan

  11. Assessment You will receive a score for each of the following parts of your Group IV project:1. ECA score (using Group IV Project Rubric) 2. Personal skills score(using IB Personal Skills score rubric)

  12. Assessment ECA grade using Group IV Project Rubric You will be assessed on your Green Fair presentation in the following categories: • Investigation and recommendation • Content • Coherence and organization • Creativity • Use of media

  13. Assessment Personal skills score You will be assessed during group work time at school for this portion of your score. The three aspects that are assessed are: • Self-motivation and perseverance • Working within a team • Self-reflection Your personal skills score is 12% of your Internal Assessment score for your IB science exam.

  14. Today! • With your group you will walk around ECA observing aspects of facility use and energy consumption that could be improved in terms of environmental impact.   • You will need to document your observations by taking notes, photographs and videos. • You will research this particular aspect of ECA to determine current energy consumption and/or waste output to be able to recommend improvements.
