WELCOME TO TERM 2!

Welcome to EnvOE 9!

In this class we will learn about the environment, how to respect it, for example LNT, how to enjoy it safely, how to work as a team, and how to prepare outdoor activity.

Last week in EnvOE 9 we did a team challenge where we made the tallest tower with straws and tape.  We then reclaimed the straws for re-use.

We reviewed how to dress for comfortable outdoor activity in the cold!
We took notes about the different layers and why cotton is a bad choice.
We started a google slide show to show we understand what good clothing choices are for different types of activities.

Coming up in EnvOE 9:  going outside to identify hazards, planning an outdoor activity, HOTTEA

Welcome back & Thanks for a Great Term

In EnvOE 9 we finished our term by studying water contamination and its consequences by watching and discussing the movie Erin Brockovich.  We talked about elements and different forms, or ions of elements and how they can behave differently.  We looked at how water can flow through an aquifer, how ground water moves, and why sanitary landfills are important.  We discussed PPM.

Have a great term 2!
