Hello! For the first STEAM class of the year, Population, we learned about taxonomy, set theory, quadrilaterals, and biology. To prepare for this class over the summer we read In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall. We also went on our first FE to the Lincoln Park Zoo where we chose the animal we would study for our AP. We then continued to study our animal by visiting the Field Museum to observe the taxidermy animal we had chosen. For our AP we had to create a project explaining the taxonomy of the animal of choice. I chose Hoffman's two-toed sloth because I think sloths are really interesting. In the project, you will read about Hoffman's two-toed sloth, its habitat, taxonomic categories, and the morphological traits that show the taxonomic categories. You will also learn about set theory and how my animal compares to other animals my classmates have chosen. I hope you enjoy it! CH.

For the past couple of weeks, my freshman class and I have been studying water filters and the possibilities for water filtration. During our classes and research, I was really into it because of the fact that I had done this before. I instantly knew that building the actual filter would probably be easier this time because of my previous experience. This journey also made me think about the Flint Water Crisis and how I could potentially make a filter to ensure safe drinking water for myself and community. This is my second action project for my STEAM course on the unit “Water.” The project is to make a water filter that filters dirty water into clean and potable water. During this class, we have been studying water filtration. In class, we learned about logarithms, and we also learned how to find pH levels using logarithms and scientific notation, and what the pH scale is. We went on a field experience to the Jardine Water Treatment Plant. During the field experience, I lear...
My nearest water source is 3.36 miles away, that would take me an hour and ten minutes to walk to the river to collect water. It would take me about 3 and 30 minutes to walk back with more than 3 gallons of water in my hands. It would take 3 times as long if I was carrying water. I calculated this by taking the time it took to walk from our school to the river without water, and then I compared it to the time walking from the river to the school with water. When we did not have water, it took 6 minutes to walk from school to the river. When we did have water, it took us 18 minutes which is three times as long walking without water. The average person in the USA uses 152 gallons a day. That is 575 liters and is equal to 1267.68 pounds. The average person in the UK uses 150 liters a day. That is about 40 gallons and is equal to 333.6 pounds. Many people think that the UK has a lot of different places and a lot of different people. But after studying the water usage of people all ove...
