"Acid Rain" Reflection

If you attended the APES After School, fully describe what we did in the lesson and explain the results we got. The smoke was supposed to show what happens if there is acid in the air, and the second lab was to test the air.  In the second paragraph reflect on your outcome:

  • Most people didn't get any acidic change in the air that they tested. Why do you think that is?
  • What are some changes we could have done to get better results from our air?
  • What other places could we test to see if we have acid in our air?

If you did not attend the APES After School - complete the online replacement project. In your reflection, write two paragraphs explaining what you did for the lab and explaining the results that you got.

"Story of Stuff" Reflection

For the first paragraph, describe what you got from the "Story of Stuff" video. What was the general idea? Which part of it spoke to you the most?

For the second paragraph, expand on one of the following:
  • Clearly everyone needs to consume to live; what kind of consumptions are healthy? Not healthy? Why?
  • Have you travelled anywhere that people have less stuff?  How do they deal with it? 
  • This about the externalized cost of something you bought.  How much did that item cost? What costs are hidden or externalized? What would the price tag be if those costs were not externalized? Would you be willing to pay more if they were manufactured in a safe and healthy way.

"Sewage Treatment" Reflection

If you attended the APES After School and built a filter, fully describe what we did in the lesson.  In the second paragraph reflect on your outcome versus the others:

  • Hypothesize what would happen if you changed the order of the materials you used
  • Why do you think yours was different from the others?
  • Which filters were most effective? Why do you think they were?


If you did not attend the APES After School, then you need to write two paragraphs summarizing what you learned by going through the Wastewater Treatment Activity Worksheet (4 Pages)
