Homework, Tests, and Other Fun Stuff

Hey All,

Great work in the garden this week. The transformation has begun!

Don't forget - test next Wednesday (10/29). Use the test review handout as your guide. We will have a thorough review in class on Tuesday, but PLEASE study over the weekend.

Also, don't forget the "California's Real Water War" and "Saving the Bay Again" readings and answers to the prompts (these were due yesterday).

FINALLY, any missing work needs to be completed by next Thursday (10/30).

Loose Ends

Hi All,

There is a lot going on in class these days: Thank you for building the compost sifter, creating the final garden map for Chaparral House, and for keeping up on your EcoChores. You are keeping up with them, right?

Here are some things that have been due or are coming due soon:

You should have finished reading "Why Bother?" by now - we will discuss it sometime next week.

For 10/15, you should have finished your hypothetical hypotheses.

We are quickly moving into water studies in the next week. We will wrap up Drop in the Bucket on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!

Composting and Why Bother?

Hey All,

Sorry I have been sick. For Wednesday, 10/8:

After watching Do the Rot Thing, respond to the following three prompts in DETAIL, and email your answers to me:

1. DESCRIBE how a compost pile is a SYSTEM.

2. How do humans fit into the causes and effects in this system?

3. Who is the coolest composter in this video? and why?


ALSO, read "Why Bother?" up to the line on page three for Wednesday.
