How do we use water at home?
ech2o works with a set of pupils to inform them how to collect data about their use of water at home and to identify behavioural changes to reduce their family’s water footprint. Each pupil receives a home pack which includes a save-a-flush bag to reduce WC flushing volumes by 1 litre, a drip gauge for leaking taps, stickers about saving water, and a questionnaire to fill out at home which details behavioural use of water. By working with families in this way, valuable data is collected, the wider community becomes involved, and analysis of the data enables us to draw conclusions about behaviour around water in homes. After we have analysed the data we create a PowerPoint of the results in a series of pie charts which we send to the school for use in a follow-up lesson.
Can be run in a single or double lesson
