Projects(semester2) |
| Elementary Visit |
Conducted: Dec. 20 2010- Jan. 26 2011 |
Purpose/ Goal: teach our school’s elementary about electricity and recycling. |
Summary: We visited our school’s 3rd Grade classes on two occasions. On the first day one group taught a section of the class about electricity and the other group taught the remaining section about recycling. On the second day the two groups switched classes. We created powerpoints and games / contests to help the kids understand the importance of what 1 person can do. |

| Distribution (end) of Home Kit planning |
Conducted: Nov. 15 2010- Feb. 18 2011 |
| Purpose/ Goal: educate our community about saving energy, recycling and global warming in their homes. |
 |
| Summary:The local grocery store (Maynards) donated 200 reusable grocery bags. We packed them with information on saving energy in their homes, human culpability on global warming and recycling. They also contained CFLs, safety plugs, and other goodies. We then distributed the “Home Kits” at the local grocery stores and banks in our area • Maynards (Westbrook) • Bubai (Walnut Grove) • Bank Midwest (Westbrook) • Integrity Bank (Walnut Grove) |
| Tire Pressure Checks |
| Conducted: March 25- 31 2011 |
| Purpose/ Goal: show that under inflated tires give off more CO2, as well as lower overall gas mileage, than properly inflated tires. |

 |
Summary: Throughout the week we assigned faculty, seniors, juniors and sophomore/freshman a day. On that day the group parked their vehicles in a certain area at our school; we gauged the tires and recorded the data. At the end of the week our Earth YES class held a small pep fest to award prizes to the vehicle owner that were closest to the normal tire pressure.
