Blog Post due 10.7
This week we calculated our personal water usage, analyzed that data, and synthesized a procedure for sustainable showering. Reflect on your experience during these learning activities.
The best posts will comment on the actual data and graphs created from our water calculator activity found here.
To earn a bonus point on your post try out another way to calculate the amount of water you use in your life found here. To earn the point compare your water calculator data from in class to the one you completed online. (This means your post should include actual numbers). Are they different? Why do you think so? Which is more accurate?
Also comment on how the water calculators themselves compare to one another.

Blog Post due Sunday, 9/16 @ midnight
In class this week we focused on two topics.
Our first topic, sustainability, was wrapped up by analyzing The Lorax by Dr Seuss and the story of Easter Island and the Rapa-nui.
The second topic of the week kicked-off our semester long journey on all things water. We took an in depth look at the water molecule and all of its unique properties.
For your blog post choose one of these two topics to write about.
Use the same format as last week. (See last week's post for help and guidance when writing your post if needed).
Congratulations on finishing the first full week of school! It's going to be a great year.
