Our research questions
1. How much do students know about the environmental pollution?
2. What circumstances are necessary for a tree to grow big and old?
3. How many trees will we be able to plant?
1. We have sent our survey to students from Izmir and from Wetzikon. It's very equal in both countrys there are people who are very well informed about environmental pollution and there are other people who are less informed. We were extraordinary impressed about one student from Switzerland who knew exactly how the greenhouse-effect works. Maybe she googled the topic and copyed it from Wikipedia but nobody knows.
2. / 3. still in progress
Collaboration partners
Our Collaboration Partners are very engaged and we have the same goal. They also contribute a lot and our conversations are very relaxed.
For example one of our collaboration partners asked us in the christmas holidays if we already ahve the survey. That showed us that they are very goal oriented.
Survey
We first had a few problems with the survey because the link changed every time we recognized spelling mistake. But in the end we corrected everything and had the final link.
Planting trees
We have done some research but we didn't found much already about "how to plant trees". But we came to the solution that we aren't allowed to plant random trees in the town. So we have to call the "Stadtverwaltung" or the "Tiefbauamt" and ask them if and where we can plant our trees. If they don't allow us to plant some trees we have another plan: Florian has a neigbhour who owns a forest. We could ask her if it is a problem if we plant our trees in her forest.
