On Thursday, we discussed learning styles for a few minutes, and then we got started into the first unit of the course....ecosystems.
We discussed the "big idea" of the unit - Why is it important that freshwater ecosystems be sustained? The class brainstormed a list of points relating this big idea to S.T.S.E. (Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment).
Students then worked on completing a review of ecology terms and concepts from earlier science courses. This sheet will be taken up on Tuesday. Students are asked to not look up the correct answers anywhere - I want to know what you know now, and what we need to review.
If you haven't brought in your emergency contact form, your student fee, or your signed policy letter for incomplete assessments, please do so on Tuesday.
Have a great long weekend!
