You think I’m a freak, right? But there’s a very good explanation for this. It all started…
She knew that whichever lash she chose would change her life (or at least the night) forever…
“Just be cool man. We’ll pop in and out of the party and no one will notice…”
Megan knew this day would come, she just didn’t think it would happen today of all days!
Pick one of the photos above and finish the story.
1. Watch Super Size Me Part 7 by clicking HERE.
2. Now watch this anti-soda animation by clicking HERE
3. In Super Size Me Part 7 you saw a man who had to get his stomach tied because he got so fat from drinking soda. Please create an XtraNormal movie or ToonDoo comic about the dangers of soda and what you can drink instead of it.
1. Watch Part 2 of Garbage by clicking HERE.
2. Go to your bubbl.us and continue to brainstorm about what you’ve learned (especially how new landfills are made) and questions you still have.
** Bonus **
3. In your blog, use your own words to answer the following questions:
a) How is GPS used in landfills?
b) What is Leachate?
c) What is biodegredation and what valuable resource does it provide from landfills?
In this unit we’ll be learning everything there is to know about garbage including: what it’s really like to be a sanitation worker, where garbage goes after it gets picked up, amazing ways it’s recycled, the mob’s connection to garbage, and people who live off eating garbage. Stay tuned, it should be an interesting ride.
Just like our unit on blood diamonds, you will be creating a bubbl.us to organize your ideas, facts, and questions about garbage. Please keep one bubbl.us for all the garbage assignments– do not create a new one for each assignment.
1. Begin by watching Garbage Part 1 by clicking HERE.
2. Now, go to bubbl.us and brainstorm your ideas, facts, and questions about garbage collection.
3. Finally, post your Garbage Bubbl.us onto your blog. Click HERE if you forgot how.
** Extra Credit**
In your blog or bubbl.us list every way you can think of to disopose (get rid) of garbage– be inventive!

1. Make a list of EVERYTHING you ate yesterday.
2. Next, visit Calorie Lab or Calorie Counter and mark the number of calories each food you ate contains. Your list should look something like this:
Apple- 55 Calories
Egg sandwich- 466
Fruit punch- 260
3. Now, add all your calories together. Write down your total.
4. If you’re a girl, subtract 1850 calories from your total. If you’re a boy, subtract 2200 calories from your total. This tells you how many EXTRA calories you are eating each day. For example, if I ate 3000 calories and I’m a boy, my formula would be 3000 – 2200 = 800 Extra Calories.
5. Finally, visit Calorie Control. Choose an exercise and find out how long you’d need to do it for to burn your extra calories (in my case, how long to burn 800 extra calories).
So guess what? You know how Google changes their logo for holidays and other special events? This year, the Google Doodle team(the team that makes the logos) is letting students design their next logo. The theme for this year’s design is “What I Wish for the World.” The top winner receives a $15,000 college scholarship, a laptop and a trip to visit the Google offices! Your entry should be given to Mr. Lahana by Friday, March 20th.

Think of some big ideas for change like:
… we use plants for electricity
… we make college free for everyone
… we give health insurance to all who need it
… we connect everyone by cell phone or computer
