PYP exhition

Layout we will follow

My name is Liam I’m Filipino born in Dubai and now I am living in Pune

Why did I select my inquiry?

I chose my inquiry, clean water and sanitation because a lot of people don’t have clean water even though you need water to survive.

My central idea was: The impact of water systems on the quality of life.

My lines of Inquiry were:

My transdisciplinary theme was: How the world works

My concepts were: Causation, function and change

My related concepts were Impact, (LOI1), Role (LOI2) Growth (LOI3)

My focus Learner Profile attributes were Reflective and thinker

My UN Goals was number SDG 6 Title: Clean water and sanitation

descriptor: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

My approaches to learning were Research skills and self-management skills.

During my research I found out:

Hand pumps is the best option for a water supply for poorer countries and that reverse osmosis filters sea water.
I read a quote in the website National Geographic stating their experience in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch
I used a lot of secondary sources such as National Geographic and The SDG website itself.
UV light doesn’t kill bacteria by boiling the water, instead it uses light beams and when it glows on the water all the bacteria dies.

Here are some of the resources I created to help spread awareness about my inquiry
