8+Science+1+Gordon's+MSW+Project

Intro: At Country Day, classes use a large amount of paper for homework. We have come up for a solution that can cut back paper usage. In this project we are testing how much paper is used in a week for one class. We think that if teachers use online homework then they will cut back on paper useage for there class.

1. Organize group and assign people per grade level 2. Get teachers approval to use online homework 3. Measure amount of paper a class uses in one week 8th-12 4. Record from first week 5. Second Week change homework to only online using email and electronic source to turn it in 22-26 6. Record Data from online homework 7. Compare data from both weeks

Analysis



Our experement was to see if usoing online homework would reduce the amount of paper waste we use in school. Our graph showed that in one week four classes used over 600 piecies of paper in all of the class rooms combined.This data shows that using online homework does lower the amount of paper used in one week.And if you do the math then we would save 172,000 peices of paper per year.

__**Conclusion**__ If we use online homework for one week then we will cut back on paper waste in class rooms. My hypothisis was sopported by my data. In my data it showed that we saved over 600 pieces of paper. And one hundred pieces of paper is one pound, overall we saved 6 pounds of paper. If we kept up and haveing classes using online homework for a year then we would save 172,000 peices of paper per year, that is about 2 trees. We had one experimental error in our experement this was that we shouldhave expanded our time in our collection of data so we could see if teachers gave our more homework in differnt weeks.If we collected our data in a longer period time then we would have a more acurate average of paper waste. A human error was that how the teachers did not know what to do for the experment. One of our teachers were confused on what and when they should start collecting data. Another human error is that we forgot to email one of our teachers, therfore he was confused on what to do for the project. A challence in this experiment was finding teachers who were willing to particapate in our experiment. "How many sheets of paper can be produced from a single tree?." 01 April 2000.
