Happy Feet Reflection - Period 3

This is the place for your Happy Feet Reflection.


I look forward to reading your work.

A New Tool

I have been playing around with Evernote, a combination desktop/web tool for capturing and managing notes of all types. You can add tags (of course). You can search and collect all kinds of notes, pictures, sounds, etc. It can search for words within pictures.

Do you think we can use it for class? What could we do with it? Would you like to try?

Let me know what you think.

Story of Stuff Reflection

Here is where you will post your reflection in response to the Story of Stuff.
Your reflection should be about a page long and should address the following questions:
1. In the system, discuss how everything is related to everything else.
2. How did the movie make you feel.
3. What do you think we could do as a school to change the situation you saw portrayed in the movie.

This reflection is due by Monday, April 7th.

Just in case you want to see the movie again, you can click here.

Inconvenient Truth Reflection

We are watching the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, to introduce our study of Ecology. Ecology is all about relationships – relationships of various organisms to each other and to their environment.

The movie will talk about these things in the context of Global Warming.

As you watch the movie, make notes that start to address the following questions. You should make these notes in your Science notebook.

1. How does Global Warming work?
2. How do human activities make Global Warming worse and/or better?
3. What species are affected by Global Warming? How?
4. What can be done to address this problem?
5. What do you think we can do at PVC to address Global Warming?

I am asking you to turn your notes into a detailed reflection. This reflection is due to me on Wednesday. You will submit them to me on paper for this one.

My plan as a student - 8th grade - DUE WEDNESDAY

One of the good things about coming to the end of the marking period is that it gives us a chance to reflect on what we have done well and what we can do better.

I want you to write three goals you have for yourself as a student (notice I didn't say as a science student) for the 3rd trimester. Remember that goals are specific and measurable.

Here's an example:

• Not a goal -- I want to be a better person.
• A goal -- Every day, I will do something nice for someone else and write down what I do in a journal.

I look forward to reading about your goals. Let yourself by inspired by your fellow students.
