We completed the mechanical weathering lab, which is due Friday, 2/14. For homework students should look up information about mining. The main subcategories are practices, environmental impact and solutions/remediation. Find some information that you are interested in and be prepared to report to the class what you have found.
I have scheduled the computer lab for a project from Mrs. Hazzard and we will do a lab on chemical erosion. We will also continue on the current notes topic.
This is a link to an article I found on plastics in the environment.
And here is a link to the video of me doing that flame demonstration in a previous school, that I told you about. And part 2.
