Dana's+Statistical+Investigation2

__**//Introduction://**__ This investigation entitles finding out the volume of rubbish that Fairfield Intermediate pupils use in their classrooms daily. During this investigation classroom rubbish bins in Fairfield Intermediate will be measured to calculate the volume of space it occupies. It is hoped that the outcome will include making Fairfield Intermediate aware of how much rubbish they produce and how much could be recycled. **//__Participants:__//** The participants in this investigation are any pupils and adults that use the classroom and wheelie bins around the school. **//__Materials:__//** String, scissors and a ruler was used to calculate the size of the rubbish bins. Pen and paper were used to record results; the internet was used to research volume. **//__Procedure:__//** The Room 19 class rubbish bin was measured to figure out the amount of 3D space it occupies, then that was times by the amount of classrooms there is in the school to get the complete amount of rubbish used in a classroom. The room 18 and 19 wheelie bin was measured then times by the number of wheelie bins in the school. The two answers were then added together to get a complete and final total. **//__Results:__//** The volume of rubbish thrown out by Fairfield Intermediate is 14,422.28 cubic metres a day. **//__Discussion:__//** It was surprising to find that the school threw out so much rubbish a day. It was predicted that the outcome would be high but after further investigation it was known that at least half of that rubbish could have been recycled or reused. It is now hoped that in the near future Fairfield Intermediate will start to recycle and reuse rubbish to provide better health for our environment.
