crean el conocido efecto invernadero.
The activity we propose
Por lo tanto en esta oportunidad les proponemos a los alumnos:Hacer un relevamiento en casa de cuántas bombitas de luz hay en total. Luego contar del total, cuántas son de bajo consumo. Una vez obtenidos estos datos los volcaremos en tablas y calcularemos los porcentajes. ¡Contamos con tu participación!

Por lo tanto en esta oportunidad les proponemos a los alumnos:Si querés ayudar a tu planeta, proponé ideas para evitar el derroche de agua como por ejemplo:
“Cerrá la canilla mientras te cepillás los dientes y controlá que no quede goteando al irte del baño”.
