One of our last tasks was making a solar oven. Unfortunately we don´t have enough sun shine here in Finland right now so it doesn´t work like it should be. But it was a new idea for us anyway!

Building a Green City
The 3rd and 4th graders started this project by thinking what does the term "green city" mean. We discussed green energy and the green way of living in a city.
The next step was to plan the energy saving and eco friendly buildings and spaces. The students were given a task to be architects and design their own "green" building or space which they would build later out of recycled material.
The students came up with great ideas. For example the farm is running with solar and wind energy. There is also a methane power plant. Some of the buildings have green roofs and water cleaning systems. In winter the city gets its clean water from melting snow. Solar panels and wind turbines are commonly used. The school has big windows so that light gets in even in winter times. The museum has a glass ceiling so the sunlight warms up the building and there is less need for lighting. The Farm and the communal garden will provide food for the citizens.
From planning to action...
