Homework for 4/18 – Yarrow, Plants that Feel and Hear, and Gearing up for the GSL

Calendar Items:

April 18th – Guest Speaker on the ecology of the Great Salt Lake. IF YOU HAVE THINGS TO TURN IN, JUST TURN THEM IN ALREADY! 🙂

April 20th – Saturday – OPTIONAL all day field trip to Antelope Island – Please READ the info on the sign up sheet for more info. LINK HERE.

April 25th – FINAL TEST – in class field trip where you get to show what you know

Homework items:

READ 10 Essential Herbs chapter 11 on chaparral – pages 271-297. I’ve got a TON of yarrow in my yard ready to harvest, so I’ll bring you a bunch.

READ What a Plant Knows, the chapters on feeling and hearing. In my book, those are chapters 3 and 4 and start with page 49 and ends on page 89. If you have the extra chapter about plants tasting, then your chapter numbers and page numbers will be different. Be prepared to narrate at least part of each chapter to me. (Narrate in this instance essentially means tell back to me what you remember from the reading, but in your own words. You’ll have a chance to build on others’ narrations and have others build off your own narration.)

TURN IN your Reaction Papers and Nature Journals if you haven’t already. TALK TO ME IF YOU NEED AN EXTENSION.
