  1. Day One of the Project: • 1) Choose your project. • 2) Choose specific area of your project (if applicable). For example, #1, Water cycle, Maria/ Clara. • 3) Choose partners. Turn in 1-3 on a ½ sheet of paper. • 4) Research your topics in depth. Be prepared to demonstrate this learning. Keep it all together in a notebook or a folder. • 5) Write down how I CAN HELP! • YOU MUST DEMONSTRATE LEARNING IN THIS PROJECT – DOCUMENT YOUR JOURNEY.

  2. Draft of Calendar • Block Day – March 5-6 – Research Day • Tuesday, March 11 – Finish Research. • Block Day, March 12-13 – Outline of project, start powerpoint, story, dance, etc. • Monday through Friday – week before Spring Break. Complete project. We will be taking OAKS science test that week so you will miss that time but have all of the rest.

  3. #1: Share the News: Individual choices add up! • Demonstrate key matter cycles concepts in an educational program for Robert Frost. • Could be a play, a dance, a video, bulletin board, etc. • Choose from the water or paper cycle. Ask permission for another. • Show people that their individual choices can affect cycles! • Encourage them to make a difference! • WARNING – a dance requires LOTS of time to make educational – THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE PURSUING THAT COURSE!

  4. #2: Next stop - Mars! • You are designing the next generation spaceship to Mars. • The ship will be away from earth for an estimated 30 months. • You want to bring as little matter with you as possible. • Describe systems based on matter cycles that could help you with your oxygen/ water/ and/or carbon needs. • Present final product with learning on a TAG board or power point.

  5. #3 Go Global • Some of our major cycles are in crisis. • Research the carbon/ soil/ or water cycle on our planet. • Explain the current issues – how are humans impacting the cycle? • Make recommendations. • Lots of good documentaries on Netflix to help with the research.

  6. #4: Saving Matter and Money at Mark Twain • Research disposable matter at Mark Twain. • Create the product life cycle for that matter (like pencils). • Develop a method for CLOSING THE LOOP or using less. (which saves money). • Project savings for school and environment. • Create Power point or other medium for sharing your results. • PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE STEPS in next slides….

  7. Consumer Products Use Process Manufacture Repair Recycle Dispose Raise & Extract Product Lifecycle – for any product • Definition • Five Steps

  8. Raise and Extract Raw Materials • All materials come from our environment. • Energy is needed to extract materials.

  9. Process – changing raw materials into workable materials like logs to boards • Raw materials are processed or refined. • Energy is required for the processing and refining.

  10. Manufacture – building something Manufacture • More energy is needed for the assembly and manufacture process.

  11. Use – what we do with them Use • Consumer products are transported to stores (consuming additional energy) and are ready for purchase. • Products remain at this stage as long as they are usable or repairable.

  12. Dispose • When the product is no longer of use to us and we “get rid” of it.
