You and your table partners are to assemble the following molecules in class. Once you have made your molecule, please photograph it with a clearly visible label under your model.
The more complex the model is, the more photos you should take from various angles to show all of the parts of the molecule. When you believe you have correctly built all of the models, raise your hands and have Mr. Bursch check your model images and he will stamp all of those that appear to be properly assembled.

What Are the Bees Telling Us?
Compose a three to five paragraph essay based on the following prompt:
Bees have long been recognized as special, even sacred animals by many human cultures. Despite this, the fact that bees have been dying in huge numbers during the last decade seems to have gone largely unnoticed by most people.
What do you think it will take for a critical mass of people to “wake up” to the plight of the bees and what might happen if we don’t realize the severity of the problem before it’s too late?

EXAMPLE for Comments on Wise Use of Our Resources Presentations:
Presentation: Wise Use of Our Resources: Deforestation
Location: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qlL7jEcu0wDIPrf7WVYD6HbCW7Y0tw2tQWLT9dmXhlA/edit#slide=id.g175cffcb2_036
Creator: Quincy Caldwell
My Response:
The first thing my eyes were drawn to was the photo on the first content slide--an image of an area formerly covered by forest now looking more like filleted salmon flesh, oozing a muddy kind of "blood," like the life was draining out of it. This image was, needless to say, a bit disturbing. Even without reading it, one gets a sense of the devastation--the pictures just about say it all. I also reviewed deforestation, and, likewise, found that the pictures really told the story better than any words. I also realized that even if we were to stop clear cutting now and replace all of the trees we had cut down, the forests we have destroyed will never return to their previous splendor. Still, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I wish there were a bit more information on the social consequences of deforestation, as I feel that is a complex and intriguing topic. This student has provided a list of sources from which she drew her information.
