C-Project Task 3: Concept

Names of the members of the collaboration team:
Team from Switzerland I: Dilara
Team from Switzerland II: acquaintance of mine who studies natural science
Team from Switzerland III: Family and survey friends

Our research question:
Main question: What would the world look like without humans?

Refined questions:

What influences do we humans have in the environment?
How has the world changed so far because of us (positive/negative)?
How would the first days/months/years look like without us humans?
What would happen to the animals?
What would happen to the houses and cars?
Is it possible that one day humanity really will become extinct?

Goal: The project should show many different aspects so that the work does not become too dull. The main goal is to show answers to the above questions. In addition, this work should draw the attention of many to the huge influence that we humans can actually have and how powerful nature can be.

Task 3

(1) Names of collaboration team members:

 

Team from Wetzikon: Mario Anderegg and Joel Zürni
Team from USA Texas: Marios colegate of america
Team from Switzerland: Family Friend from Joel's family


(2) Diverse, e.g. material needed, expert proposals, difficulties:

- Medias to find experts in the field of electro cars

 
(3) Expert's comment:

No expert in the project


(4) Goal/Result:

Me and mario thought about the vacation which partners can answer our questions best and with which we can best come to the conclusion of our main statement. We knew that cars have an impact on the environment. But we kept asking ourselves what impact the different types of cars really have on the environment. We found the comparison between electric cars and old timers very interesting. It is always said that old timers have a worse impact on the climate than the "normal cars." Through the experience with old timers of our partners we learn what exactly makes an old timer and also more about the functioning of the different types of gasoline. We also learn that electric cars are only environmentally friendly to a certain extent.
