We will finish going over this in class on Wednesday!

Powerpoint

Homework Due Next Class (10/24)

Due in class on Wednesday:

1) Completed Field Notebooks

Writing Your Evaluation of Results for the Field Study/Trip we did!

Your evaluation should be typed and pasted to the inside cover of the back of your field notebook. The entire notebook will be collected on Wednesday!

•Write an evaluation of results about the overall quality of Miller Creek using class data from the field study, RESEARCH (Please give me your references) how much dissolved oxygen different organisms need to thrive, and the 'geography' of the stream: areas of still water, of riffles, of some movement. Think about how the structure of the creek (riffles, waves, still areas), the tree cover (if present), plant life in the stream and the depth of the creek all could affect dissolved oxygen content. Explain how each of these would affect the amount of dissolved oxygen in the stream. Really think about what you've learned!

•Include in your discussion possible sources of pollution around Miller Creek and whether or not you think there is a problem from these potential sources. Support your position with data, observations you made, and facts.

•Are there any invasive species near the stream? If so, what species did you identify? Why are invasive species a problem?

•What changes would you make to this study in order to improve your knowledge of the environmental health of Miller Creek?

•What new questions did this study bring up for you?

All of these things should go into your conclusion!

Completed Field notebook/lab report due next class period. Be sure you have done a thorough job!

2.) Take Your Ecological Footprint and write down the number of earths it would take to support your lifestyle. What are your thoughts, feelings and questions now that you've taken this quiz. Be prepared to discuss this in class.
