  1. Welcome to Environmental systems! 08/26/2013 • Sign In • Grab one of each of the following and put your name on it: • 1. file folder • 2. student information card (fill it out completely) • 3. popsicle stick • 4. scratch sheet of paper—fold into a tent and write your name on it just like the example on the board and place it in front of you. You will place this name tent in front of your for two weeks until schedule changes are complete. • Materials list THESE ARE DUE WEDNESDAY • Take 5-10 minutes to fill out this information

  2. ES Warm Up Aug 26th, 2013 • Grab a white board and a dry erase marker from the back of the class and answer the following questions: • 1. What do you think environmental systems is about? • 2. What would you like to learn in environmental systems? • 3. Look at the objects around the room. Where do all the resources come from for these objects? Try to name as many as you can think of. Now I need a volunteer to write the student’s answers on the board.

  3. Answers to Warm Up Aug 26th, 2013 • 1. What do you think environmental systems is about? Environmental Systems explores the nature of science and the natural world. Students examine environmental issues and learn to make informed decisions using scientific problem solving. Specific topics include ecological interactions, matter and energy flow in ecosystems, biodiversity, characteristics and growth of populations, evolution, succession, biogeochemical cycles, soil and land resources, agriculture, waste management, and characteristics of terrestrial biomes. UT@Austin K-12 Ed • 2. What would you like to learn in environmental systems? Answers will vary • 3. Look at the objects around the room. Where do all the resources come from for these objects? Try to name as many as you can think of. Gypsum for wall board, plastic from petroleum, iron, nickle and zinc for the various metal objects, pressed particle board from wood, calcium carbonate, copper and silicon in electronic equipment. • Put your student information sheet inside your folder and turn it into the box with your period number on it • Place your popsicle stick in the proper receptacle • NEATLY Place the white boards and dry erase markers back where you found them

  4. Warm Up Aug 27th, 2013 • Please collect your name tents from the appropriate box and place it on the table in front of you. • Go get a white board and dry erase marker • What is environmental systems? • If you can’t remember, take 2 minutes to talk with a partner about it.

  6. ES Warm Up AUG 28th • Please get your name tent and place it in front of you. • Get a white board per two people. • Name at least 3 things that can be recycled. • Can you think of any more than that? You will get a sticker for each one over 3 • What is composting? • If you don’t know, take a minute to talk to a partner. • How is electricity made? • If you don’t know, take a minute to talk to a partner. • What is global climate change? • If you don’t know, take a minute to talk to a partner.

  7. ES Warm Up answers AUG 28th • Name at least 3 things that can be recycled. • Cardboard, paper, aluminum, plastic, magazines, paper board, batteries, glass bottles, giving anything to goodwill • What is composting? • Composting is nature's process of recycling decomposed organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Anything that was once living will decompose. Basically, backyard composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses. By composting your organic waste you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue. Finished compost looks like soil–dark brown, crumbly and smells like a forest floor.

  8. ES Warm Up answers AUG 28th • How is electricity made? • A generator manufactures electricity. In a generator, something causes the shaft and armature to spin. An electric current is generated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Vb6hlLQSg • What is global climate change? • The Earth is getting warmer because people are adding heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere, mainly by burning fossil fuels. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Warmer temperatures are causing other changes around the world, such as melting glaciers and stronger storms. http://www.epa.gov/climatestudents/

  9. ES Agenda AUG 28th Recycling! We recycle in this classroom. If you bring in an aluminum can or a plastic bottle, you MUST RINSE IT OUT AND PLACE IN THE APPROPRIATE RECYCLING CONTAINER. I will check the trash cans daily.
