Pollution In Our Everyday Life

Image
This is my third and final Action Project for my STEAM course Fuel. I learned about inequalities and pollution in our everyday life. For this Action Project, I had to make an action plan paper about how we can stop pollution from happening. My favorite part of this Action Project was learning about all the different ways we pollute and the solutions. I also really enjoyed taking a class trip to Tesla and getting a free test ride. This was a fun project to make and I enjoyed learning about the different ways to prevent pollution. The hardest part for me was researching the different ideas I had. I hope you enjoy my pollution action plan paper. Pollution In Our Everyday Life PVU 3/16/16 Pollution Action Plan Pollution consists of waste products that are harmful to the environment.

In unit 3 for my Who am I? class, I learned about dreams and the meanings behind dreams. We were exploring different ways to look at dreams and interpret them.

My life motto is “don’t give up anything is possible and I can do anything.” Whenever I wore the necklace it gave me dreams and visions of my future. For some reason when I would take it off I could

What Makes Us Decide What’s Right and What’s Wrong?

In my second unit of my Who Am I, I learned about philosophers and doubt. For this Action Project, I made a slide show about "What makes us decide what's right and wrong." I thought this was a cool action project. This was pretty easy to make, but it had some troubles. The hardest part of my project was to think about my everyday decisions and the process I take to make those decisions.

This is my second Action Project for my STEAM course fuel. I learned about functions,  renewable and non-renewable energy.   For this Action Project, I had to make an infomercial about if we were presenting our idea to a conference. My favorite part of this Action Project was learning about how much energy I use and how I could save with renewable energy. It was a fun project to make. The hardest part for me was the researching the break-even point.
