Anonymous Trees

The land pollution group, aka the Anonymous Trees, are investigating the amount of litter increasing at Howick Intermediate School and what they should do about it.
The first step that the students needed to do was to find out what area in the school was most littered.
So for 5 days, the group allocated areas for each student and they were very dedicated to picking up litter during peak times of the school day (after morning tea and after lunch). The students were able to manage themselves and collect the litter in a responsible manner.
After the 5 days, we had to find out which area had the most amount of litter.
The results showed that the field had the majority of litter. You can see the pictures below.
Now the Anonymous trees will use the statistical enquiry cycle to plan, collect, record, graph and analyse their findings of how litter is increasing in one focused area and what they could do about that.
