Sharing and getting a binder

Hi All,

Thank you for collaborating with others around our questions of "What is science?"and "What is a system?" We will continue our discussions and developing understandings of those next week.

For homework, due Tuesday, September 14th, please get a 1" binder with dividers and lined paper.

Have a great weekend!

Homework for Thursday, September 9th

Please write 3-5 sentences, or bullet points if that works better, answering one of the following questions.

If you are a NUMBER 1, answer, "What is science?"
If you are a NUMBER 2, answer, "What is a system?"

We will share our thoughts, and learn from one another tomorrow in class.

It was enjoyable hearing your seeing, thinking, and wondering related to the bouquet of flowers from our Chaparral House garden. I also hope our tour of projects on campus sparked some of your interest in science and systems related to bees, fish, wetlands, plants, butterflies, hummingbirds, and chickens. Lots of fun work ahead this year!

Welcome to the new year!
