The day at the Eco-center, located in City Heights, starts off in the auditorium after the bus driver drives them to the Eco-center, were kids get to see a video on what alternative fuels and renewable fuels are. They get to find out were they come from, and which ones are good and which ones are bad for our environment. The kids then get a clipboard were they get a sheet they need to fill out through out the tour. Here in the picture you have one of my fellow classmates that also was an intern, Jasmine Bell, where underneath the kids are paying attention to our mentor, Candace McGovern, were she explains that petroleum come from dinosaurs and ethanol comes from corn. Then they fill out the questions on the biggest invention in the 20’s century, the car. Then they get an idea of the whole tour.



The forth part of the tour the kids get to find out how many people contain 6 countries, The United States, Mexico, Brazil, United Europe, South Africa, and China. They find out the population and the amount of cars they have. They get o find out how much fossil fuels they use, also were you can find solar panels and wind turbines, and what they are for. They find out were are the 10 top places were oil is found and its basically in the middles east, and since we use some they ask the how they get it over here and they say the oil tanker.

The fifth station is were kids get to email the governor on reducing fossil fuels, also learning on solar panels and wind turbines, then they learn on watts and renewable fuels. At each station kids get to answer questions that are in each station. In this picture you have Jasmine Bell and she is helping kids on how the solar drawbridge works, this solar drawbridge is made out of Legos so its not the greatest, when you turn on the light bulb kids get to see how it works. In this section the kids are asked “what do you feel when you put your hand under the light?” the kids would say “heat!”, then they are ask “what happens to the solar drawbridge when the solar panel is covered?” they say “it stops working.” and they write their answer on their sheet.
