Homework 10/15

Tonight's homework is a 2-part process.

1) Read the following pages in your science book to review and reinforce your understanding of Eutrophication.  Pages: #102, 110-111, 120, 210

2) Revise question #4 from the Gulf of Mexico Problem Solving activity (link found in post below).  Remember to develop a creative solution that will both fix the current problem and does not lead to more disasters later on.

Gulf of Mexico Problem Solving

After reading about the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone" open the link below and complete the problem solving prompts. Only 1 copy needed per group, therefore choose a recorder.  Remember to be creative when solving this issue!
