FROM VEGETABLES TO SOUP

• In Belgium some of the people grow their own vegetables

• We make all sorts of things with them• We will show you how we made a bowl

of soup with our own-grown vegetables.

MAIN INGREDÏENTS

We made this soup with leek, carrots and courgette.

We also used beef.

CUTTING THE VEGETABLES

•First you cut the vegetables.• In really small pieces.

MAKING BOUILLON

When you want to make bouillon for your soup you cook the beef in a bowl of hot water

COOKING THE VEGETABLES

•Than you butter the bowl •and cook your vegetables in hot water. •That should take about 10 minutes.

MIXING THE VEGETABLES

Afterwards you mix the vegetables.

Done, now you can serve the soup you made of your own grown vegetables.

AFIYET OLSUNHopefully the soup was delicious.

But we are quit sure our fotographer loved our soup.

AQUAFIN: WATER PURIFICATION STATION

‘week of the environment’ from 21 to 25 February 2010

Visit of the water purification station Aquafin

10 minutes from our school “by bike”

Recycling water = sewage purification

POLLUTED WATER

This is the water that comes out of our sewers.They collect all the water in one big basin.

GRIDS

Grids: they pick up the trash out of the water. In St-Niklaas they work with two grids to maximalise the effect.

DRIED TRASH

In this picture you can see all of the trash that is picked out of the water by the grids. This is mainly dried leaves and branches.

OIL- AND SANDCATCHER

rests in a small basin the oil floats on the

surface of the water the sand sinks to the

bottom of the basin   easier to purify

SLUDGEBASIN

This is a basin where they get the sludge out of the water. The sludge sinks to the bottom of the basin and the cleaner water floats away.

AERATION BASIN

In this basin they put bacteria in the water. The bacteria eat the dangerous substances that are not visible to the eye.

And at the end this remains.

This water is clean, but not drinkable.

They let it flow back to the river.

Before it is drinkable it needs a special purification. After this it is drinkable

FROM TREE TO PAPER

TREE

The tree is the main material to make paper. They don’t use the bark of the tree.

They cut down the trees and bring them to a sawmill to cut them into bits. These bits are being cooked in hot water.

This are the cooked bits of tree

This pulp is put in a papermachine

They remove the water out of the pulp.

They dry the pulp and press it together.

After this they make it smooth.

In the end they role the paper on roles.

RECYCLING PAPER

When paper is used, it goes to the fabric (Sita or VPK)

They remove all the ink The inkfree paper is used

again as posters, cardboard and brochures

You can recycle paper 4 times.
