__**Today's Assignment:**__ May 11th

Hello class...I am sickly today so here's the day's plan.

Well first someone fill up the water for the live chickens. Nose goes? Add more water to the quail and duck incubators. If any quail hatched (fat chance) then put them in their own box under the light. Water the plants.

Go through the PowerPoint that can be found on the PowerPoints page. Quiz on this information Friday!!!

Next, we are going to do this lab starting tomorrow. Read through the document. Do some research about birds in Pennsylvania and make a hypothesis of what type of birds we will feed and what seeds they will eat. Write your hypothesis in the discussion tab on this page.

Next, we are going to make a solar oven. Below are links of different types of ovens you can model after (we might not have all the materials needed to make the exact oven). Group of twos will make an oven together. (I will partner with someone or he or she can work by themselves..whatever:) Pick which solar oven you want to model keeping in mind which one you think will work the best. Think about how we can measure which one works the best. Write you hypothesis in the discussion tab on this page. Plan A and B are pretty close.

Then out of the five different ethical beliefs about the environment, which one do you agree with? and explain why? Write this in the discussion tab. • Five Distinct Stages: – Anthropocentric – Pragmatic Resource Conservation – Moral and Aesthetic Nature Preservation – Modern Environmentalism – Global Environmental Citizenship
