Math:
Tomorrow, students will have an opportunity to measure the angles and dimensions of their illusions from last week to determine how precise they were.
They will then have a chance to redo this illusion OR design an optical illusion of their choice that demonstrates an understanding of:
- parallel lines
- perpendicular lines
- angle bisectors
- measurement
- accurate drawing
Science:
Today we revisited the concepts from yesterday's field trip. Students who missed the trip are encouraged to complete the Journey 2050 Alternate Assignment.
Students are writing a paragraph in Humanities tomorrow answering the following question ("How can we feed 10 billion people in the year 2050?") with details from the field trip.
To prepare for this assignment, students reflected on the sustainability barrel and discussed the ripple effect of improving one part of the barrel (e.g. soil quality) on the other barrel factors. We reviewed best management practices for urban, agricultural and natural lands. We also brainstormed many other ideas that would help sustain agriculture as the world's population grows.
