Description: 

This week we investigated the effects of climate change on a global scale. We had video conference calls with students in other continents and got to learn how climate change has effected their homes. We participated in a Skype call with a Year 7 class from the Beijing World Youth Academy in China. The students got to ask each other many questions on how climate change had affected their country and what they were doing to combat this. We learnt that in China air pollution had been reduced as a result of Covid19 and people staying indoors. We also learnt that at the Beijing World Youth Academy, it is compulsory to ride bikes to school on certain days. This reduces carbon emissions. In China people may only use their cars to travel on certain days, depending on their licence plate number. The students from Beijing were very surprised to learn that we don’t have to wear masks to school.  This week we also met with students from Tobb Illkokulu in Turkey.  We linked up with them via Zoom and got the opportunity to perform our song in the upcoming school musical; Somewhere There’s a Forest. Throughout the week we really enjoyed watching videos of the Turkish students fantastic STEM projects that included making air powered cars.
