A Cheesy Story

This is the last AP for Fuel. In this unit, Future, we discussed chemical equations, pollution, reviewed graphing inequalities. We had an AP guest, Christa Markgraff from Nicor gas, we reviewed everything we learned this term and competed to win candies and bragging rights. This AP is to wake readers up and have them realize how much CO2 we are actually emitting and how we are throwing off the
carbon cycle.
 

As we are getting closer to the end of the year I think it is important to have projects where we are promoting a cause and introducing readers to a call to action. This AP was challenging yet, fun to complete especially because it's in a different format than I am used to.

Grow a pear!

Welcome to the first of the last APs of my freshman year! In this AP I thought about radical gardening and growing food for everyone. I learned about symbiosis, photosynthesis and phototropism. We discussed Charles Darwin and Fukuoka's principles of farming. While we didn't go on any FE's we did start mini can gardens. My group had Dill and currently, the plant has grown to be 3 inches tall!
