Session+2

Karin's update on engagement with the class last week.  Questions from Bulletin Board: The students have written questions this past week on the bulletin board that we should also address at the beginning of the class.  __**Big group (15 minutes-20 minutes)**__ Demonstrate the bike-to-light to Mrs. Seaver. Point: Energy comes from somewhere. Where does it usually come from? The Power-Pollution connection. Slides or photos of coal power plants, pollution, etc. Including polluting, energy intensive food systems. Then overview of alternatives, including wind, solar, aquaponics. Show Scott's windmill here? Then quick point about how the mix of these make a city happy or sad. Jordan will lead. See Jordan's draft script

__**Then rotate through centers (10 minutes each)**__  **Center 1: The Power-Pollution Connection.** Tweak images/worksheet in attached ppt -- first do the simple power-pollution connection. then turn the more complex images into a storyboard about how polluting energy from many sources contributes to climate change. Draft materials for worksheets/story boards here. Also use systems stories? (Jordan + Chris) 

**Center 2: Energy Sad Cities / Energy Happy Cities** -- using books kids have read this week. (Alex and Alexandra) **Center 3: Aquaponics + Worms** (Scott will lead) **Center 4**: Solar (Is this ready?)  **Center 5: Scripting Systems Stories (**Karin, Lindsay and Kelley will lead?) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">__**Closing (10 minutes)**__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">__**On reserve -- 10 minutes**__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">__**For use in our next session or by Mrs. Seaver before we come back:**__ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> @http://www.globalsolarportal.org/index.php/film-unlimited-renewable-energy-in-the-21st-century
