Tyla, Kayleigh and Taria's Statistacal Investagation


 * __Amounts of Rubbish at Fairfield and Maeroa Intermediate.__**

__**Introduction:**__

Our statistacal investagation was done comparing Mareoa and Fairfield Intermediates rubbish around certain areas and rubish systems. We were looking at how Mareoa Intermediate has got a environmental team and Fairfield Intermediate does not have an environmental team.The Surveyors also interviewed Mrs Bain the principal of Maroea Intermediate. Kayleigh, Tyla and Taria students of Fairfield Intermedaite main question was “Having an environmental team make a difference to having a school rubbish problem?”

__**Participants:**__

Mareoa IntermediateSchool, Fairfield Intermediate School, Mrs. Bain [Principal of Maroea Intermediate School]

__**Materials:**__

Maths Book to record our data Laptop for recording data

__**Procedure:**__

We disscussed the problems withinour school area, one of the main problems was the rubbish around our school. An environment team would be one of the solutions we thought our school could consider, but before we talked to Mr Noble we would haveto see if it would make a difference. We also thought another option could be reycling bins or more rubbish bins around our school and more things to encourage our school to put our rubbish in the bins supplied. We counted rubbish all around Fairfield Intermediate School after Morning-Tea, in certain areas such as: Field, Astro-Turf, Playground and Shade Cloth area. We also looked at what their school does to help the environment. We then got all of our data and compared it to Fairfield Intermediates data.

__**Table:**__
 * Where? || Pieces of rubbish from Mareoa Int. || Pieces of rubbish from Fairfield Int. ||
 * Field || 124 || 75 ||
 * Playground area || 44 || 29 ||

__**Disscusion**:__

The thing we need to improve on is our organisation skills because we didn’t organise it well at all, it was very last minute. At Maeroa I think we all behaved well and asked good questions to find out what the information needed for the investagation.

Overall we found out everything that we needed to. We also found out extra things that helped our information, for our investagation. We all think we were kind and nice to the principal and students we talked to. We also treated their school grounds and belongings with care.
