Calculate your carbon footprint (9:30 to 10:00 am)

To calculate your own carbon footprint using an online calculator: Calculadora 1 Calculadora 2 Then, answer each of the following questions in your math notebook, based on the results generated in the survey: 1. Emission Level: 2. Carbon footprint (Ton-eqCO2 per month): 3. How many trees need to be planted to mitigate the impact? 4. What is your biggest source of emissions? 5. What changes could you make to reduce your carbon footprint? 6. What is the annual CO2 tonnage? 7. Draw the generated graph, carbon footprint composition. 8.What recommendations are generated to reduce the carbon footprint?"

Comparing results and creating a poster (10:00 to 10:50 am)

Video: Creating a Poster Compare the results of calculating the carbon footprint of each team member and propose the creation of a poster that promotes personal reduction of the carbon footprint.

Presenting their posters (10:50 to 11:20 am)

Presentation, stand-style, of each poster.

Reflection on endangered animals (12:20 to 1:20 pm)

Introduction (12:20 to 12:30 pm)

Place: Classroom Responsible: teacher in the assigned regular schedule Teachers in charge: Medellín: Paola Andrea Balvin and Natalia Suárez. Escobero: Maria Eugenia Hincapié, Juan David Aguirre and Alejandro Muñetón

The following video is being projected in order to raise awareness about the impact that human presence has had on the destruction of certain ecosystems. Click on the video Reflection on the emotions evoked by the video and the lessons that can be learned from it.

Origami (12:30 a 1:10 pm)

According to the information provided in the video, the students are invited to make an origami figure of some endangered animals. The following videos are proposed; however, the group should vote on which one will be chosen. Click on the video Polar Bear Turtle Tiger Koala Dolphin At the end of the elaboration, the figures will be displayed in a space in the classroom, and a message will be created alluding to the non-destruction of animal habitats.
