Effective Water Conservation: Consequences of Leaving the Tap Running

This presentation explores the critical importance of water conservation and the impact of not turning off the tap in time. Presented by Noèlia Callau Codorniu in March 2008, it highlights how we measure various dimensions such as length, area, weight, volume, time, and capacity to understand and manage our resources better. Learn about the different measurement units and their significance in our daily lives, and discover practical tips to save water effectively.

  1. L.1 PRESENTATION Measurement HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  2. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  3. We measure LENGTH to know… • how long things are. • how tall they are. • how far apart they are. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  4. We measure LENGTH with… • a tape measure. • a ruler. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  5. We measure LENGTH in… - KILOMETRES (km) to measure BIG/LONG DISTANCES. - METRES (m) to measure MEDIUM length. - CENTIMETRES (cm) to measure SMALL objects. - MILLIMETRES(mm) to measure TINY/THIN objects. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  6. AREA • We measure an area to know the occupied SURFACE. • We measure a BIG area in square kilometres (km2). • We measure a MEDIUM area in square metres (m2). • We measure a SMALL area in square centimetres (cm2). HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  7. We measure WEIGHT to know… • how much an object or a person weighs. We measure WEIGHT with… • a scale. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  8. We measure WEIGHT in… - KILOGRAMS (kg) to weigh HUGE/BIG objects or people. - GRAMS (g) to weigh SMALL/TINY objects. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  9. We measure VOLUME to know… • how much SPACE an object occupies. We measure VOLUME in… - CUBIC METRES (m3) to measure BIG occupied spaces. - CUBIC CENTIMETRES (cm3)to measure SMALL occupied spaces. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  10. We tell the TIME to know… • what the time is. • how long an activity lasts. • how much time goes by. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  11. We measure TIME in… Years Weeks Months Days Hours Minutes Seconds HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  12. We measure CAPACITY to know… • The amount/liquid a container can hold. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  13. We measure CAPACITY with… • a measuring jug. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008

  14. We measure CAPACITY in… - LITRES (L) to measure BIG amounts of liquids. - MILLILITRES (ml) to measure SMALL amounts. HOW TO SAVE WATER: What happens if we do not turn off the tap on time? Noèlia Callau Codorniu March 2008
