You might see several articles that have been assigned to you. Don’t worry about that. I want you to find the one titlled, “Making cow manure power cleaner and cheaper in California.” Click on the article for 1200L. Read it and take the quiz for 1200L (this is the reading level).
Task#5: complete Journal #6.
For J#6 you need to write the citation for the article and respond to this prompt:Let’s assume that a local business man created a machine that could convert any animal feces (including humans) into energy. The only catch is that each family must collect and trade their waste each week for $5 of energy per pound of waste. Based on what you learned from the article and your own opinions in the matter, would you be willing to make this deal? Why or why not?
Citation looks exactly like this:
Adapted from: “Making cow manure power cleaner and cheaper in California.” Los Angeles Times. June 24, 2013 by Newsela.

EXTRAS:
Task#1:
Cut out or draw a picture of an object that has both kinetic and gravitational potential energy.
Create a word problem about the object that asks for the calculation of either potential or kinetic energy. Of course, you will make up the values needed for the calculation.
Show the solution for the above calculation.
Create a second problem on the same paper that requires the use of the total energy in the system. Examples would be:
While watching this cartoon create two math problems, one for calculating the potential energy and one for calculating the kinetic energy.

U6 Review and Answer key - feel free to answer these 10 questions and then look up the answers. It is your job to be sure you are
prepared for the test. I can lead a sheep to water or a chicken to water or an eagle to water..I'll even lead a wolf to water....but I
can't make 'em drink the water. Get ready for that test folks! You can do it!
