What we did today is....

At the begning of class we truned in last nights homework (Questions 1-5. on page 15) Then what we did was she told us to get out our computers after she gave us your numbers. When we had logged on we got into edline and put our emails on the edline account if we did not have it there already. After we set up an account on this site, she told us to post comments showing that we had been on here. When we had posted she explained the rules about bad things to say.

1. Be kind
2. "If you can't say anything nice, don't say it at all."
3. Just the basic things.

Then after all that she had us do the bell ringer.

Q: How is ecology related to Environmental Science?

A: Ecology is one of the three most imporant foundations in Environmental Science. Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with their environment and one another. Ecology is part of the study of Biology, which is the study of living organisms as a whole.

When we were done with that we found out that Holt (the website for the textbook) is currently down.

This is an example of what the homeworks headline should look like.
