    YEAR 8 GEOGRAPHY

    Year 8 Geography students have been studying ‘Water in The World’. 8HGJ undertook a project based learning group task. The aim was to come up with an idea or product to reduce the impact of water related issues. For example, they could choose from:

    1. Low water supply
    2. Sanitation
    3. Waterborne diseases
    4. Poor water waste management 
    5. Pollution 



    Jasmyn Eastcott, Anya Ellerington and Madison Campbell chose to investigate the issue of waterborne diseases. They came up with the idea of “The New Water Bottle”. The drink bottle that filters water through a system inside it.
