(II) Your Research Question (What?)
Wider question (with link to your post):
What are green roofs and how do they operate?
Refined question:
- How does a green roof function?

- What are the different types of green roofs and what benefits do they have to offer?
- How is a green roof built? How do we build one in miniature form?
- How will the young students (from the school) take to our project?
(III) Your Answer: Project description, methods/techniques, etc. (How?)
Example Project Green roofs
Product:
- Miniature Green roof built by Celine & Daniel (Model example)
- Interview: With the teachers
- Video/Fotos: Observation of young students in action (making their own green roof model)
- Calculations: Cost-estimate for a green roof
- Informative Article on dontwastemyenergy.com
(IV) Diverse, e.g. material needed, expert proposals, difficulties
- Background-check / getting into an International-School
- Getting permission from the School to record children in the school
- Building a green roof model that meets our requirements --> Material and tutorial listed in "Task 13b"
- Advanced expertise with calculations for the cost-estimation of green roofs
(V) Expert's Comment: The expert has commented while conducting the interview. He supports the project and was impressed with our creative and fun idea for the children.
(VI) Goal/Result:
Our goal is to create an informative and visually pleasing article to be published on dontwastemyenergy.com. In the article we will answer our research questions. We wish to educate ourselves and young students and influence their mid-set about green roofs through an active task (building their own green roof).
