OUR INQUIRY ROOM 17

"HOW CAN WE SAVE THE WATER IN OUR SCHOOL AND RECYCLE IT BEFORE IT IS TURNED TO WASTE WATER?"

After our trip to the Panmure basin...

We got to see exactly where our water goes after it falls down the drain.

This got us thinking....

"Its a waste of water!" was the common point of our discussion. 

SO WE DECIDED... To create a way to save our water!

One of the ideas was putting something on the roof to catch the water. But after thinking about how we will get the water down, we decided that this might not be the best thing for us.

So here is a little bit about what we came up with...

 A Rain Water tank is going to work brilliantly. We can still use the water from our gutters and roof in our gardens. We are not inventing anything new, just adjusting what we have researched and discovered.

WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.... SEE WHAT WE GOT....
