  3. 1. One student of the group will count the amount of cars, taxis and motorbikes that are passing along the street .

2. The other one will count how many buses and taxis are running, in the same ten minutes.

3. We write down the results in the chart at the end of the worksheet.

Afterwards, you will do the same experiment but now calculating the number of pedestrians and bicycles.

·What kind of ways do we find in around our city?

A simple street like casp or a big and long via like Gran Via or a street only for pedestrians.

Mobility and ways of transport

Worksheet 4

In this activity we have to mesure the diferent tipes of street around the school.

1.We mesure the lenght of our footsteps.
2.We count the number of steps required to cross the street.
3.Now we calculate this: number of steps · lenght = width
4.We do the same in 1 and now we count the number of steps required to cross the sidewalks.

We put first our results and second the average in a chart:Now we have conclusions later this activity:
- Gran Via is more large than Casp or Pau Claris because is more transited than the other streets.
- Pau Claris have little sidewalks because have a lot of transit.
