Science:

Today was mostly a Science Day. We began by learning about a positive human impact on a beach ecosystem in Mumbai. We watched a video about this current event and discussed how much good we can do with intention. We also looked at an article about the turtles returning to this ecosystem after the cleanup. CNN also did a story on this beach cleanup. Students seemed to find this inspiring and motivating.


They did a wonderful job of presenting their Ecosystems Research Projects in small groups!

Question of the day:
Use this story about the beach in Mumbai to support your argument that humans have both positive and negative impacts on ecosystems. Please email your response to lebowen@cbe.ab.ca or bring in a written comment.

Math:

We briefly practiced multiplying and dividing decimals in preparation for tomorrow's multiplication and division of decimals computation quiz.
