The Dog Ate My Homework

My post for the A to Z theme reveal is a might late. My theme is

Environmental Science Facts.  

The most aggravating thing a student ever did was interrupt me in class. Then paused as if he was giving me a pass and said, "that was my opinion and it was OK." I was defining the difference between niche and habitat.

Somewhere, somehow, Rush Limbaugh comes to mind, conservation has become political. I ask why. A healthy environment affects all of us. When they say an incident would increase say a cancer risk by 1 in 10,000, it means 1 person who would never get cancer out of 10,000 gets cancer.

The Flint water crisis is part of this. Just because you can't see the lead in water does not mean it does not have an affect.

So this post is my activism.

The following posts are just the facts of environmental education. No preaching. Just facts.

Graphing Lines using coordinate pairs to create a picture.

In coordinate pairs, the first number represents the X axis and moves from left to right. The second number represents the Y axis and moves up and down.

Draw and Connect the dots for the following series of coordinate pairs. Each series of dots creates a line that is part of larger picture. This will create a picture of a Tiger.

The following graph coordinates use only positive numbers. Next week, I will give the coordinates using positive and negative numbers.

13 questions to test your science knowledge.

I had a teacher in college who gave essay questions on tests. She said she wanted to know what we knew and not poke around at what we might know. As teachers we know she was dedicated. Discussion tests take more time than multiple choice to grade.

Anyway, this link is for Pew Research measuring how much people know about science. Test your scope of science knowledge. Report back how many you got right.
