Question: As students, how can we reduce our ecological footprint on our local environment? When we started Talent21, we started in 1st marking period. It was in Mr. Alezczyk's health class, and we did a powerpoint on a recycling project, basically to see how much we recycle and how we can save the environment.

The second project we did was a graphing project in Mrs. Farrow and Mr. Morey's math class. First we had to make a chart of 5 things you like and have other kids in the class take votes on their favorite one. Then you counted up the tallies and see what you got. We made a word document containing the 2 graphs, the subjects you made, and some interesting pictures and facts.

Our third one was in Mrs. Lily's Science class, when we did an acid rain project. There were 2 groups, Experimental, or Controlled. Controlled group watered a plant with regular water, while experimental group watered a plant with acid rain. Barely any plants survived, especially the one's from the Experimental. My group used acid rrain, the plant grew, but died. And the only thing left of ours was a seed. Afterwards, we completed a powerpoint of what we did and what happened to the plant and our recorded data.

Our second math word document had to do with how much we recycle daily. We were given a paper and had to fill out how much we recycled 7 days a week. We graphed our info and progress on the word document and posted them here. (Our recycled items were aluminum and tin, cardboard, and plastic.)

Our last and final project was for social studies class in Mrs. Pitman's room. We had to give facts about the ancient people from the different regions in BC times. From earliest man, to ancient Greeks. It was done a powerpoint, and they turned out really nice.
