o When taking lab photos, you need to include in each image a strip of paper with your name and the date clearly written on it.

(2)Sustainable Living Guide Contributions: Sustaining Our Atmosphere and Climate (MY TERM IS ENERGY CONSERVATION)

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 7 and 8 in your course textbook.

The purpose of this assignment is twofold: first, to enable you to explore a term (concept, technique, place, etc.) related to this week’s theme of sustaining atmosphere and climate; second, to provide your first contribution to a collective project, the Class Sustainable Living Guide. Your work this week, will be gathered (along with that of your peers) into a master document you will receive a few days after the end of the course. The document will provide everyone with a variety of ideas for how we can all live more sustainably in our homes and communities.

To complete this assignment,

· Select a term from the list of choices in the Week 4 – Term Selection Table located in the course. Type your name in the table, next to the word that you would like to choose.

o Do not select a term that a classmate has already chosen; only one student per term. If you choose a term that is hyperlinked to a source, that term is one that is not mentioned in our textbook. Instead of being required to use the text as your third source for completing the assignment, you will be expected to use the hyperlinked source provided for you.

· Download the Week 4 Assignment Template available in the course and replace the guiding text with your own words based upon your online research.

o Please do not include a cover page. All references, however, should be cited in your work and listed at the end, following APA Style expectations.

In the template, you will

· Define the term thoroughly, in your own words.

· Explain the importance of the term using evidence.

· Discuss how the term affects living things and the physical world.

· Suggest two specific actions that can be taken to promote environmental sustainability in relation to the term.

· Explain exactly how those actions will aid in safeguarding our environment in relation to your chosen term.

· Provide detailed examples to support your ideas.

(3)Week 4: Ecological Footprint Update and Course Reflection

Prior to working on this journal, read Chapters 7 and 8 in your course textbook.

Throughout this course, you are keeping a journal about your experience in the class. The purpose of this activity is to enable you to reflect on your learning: what new things you have discovered, what surprises you have encountered, what topics or ideas you have found particularly challenging, and how the course is going for you. You should also be using the journal as a space for a progress report on your Environmental Footprint Reduction Project efforts. Your entries will be evaluated in terms of how well they met the topic and length requirements, and your writing clarity. Your entries should be a minimum of one typed page each (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-point font) and will be submitted through Waypoint.

Complete the following:

· In the first paragraph or two of your journal entry this week, provide a status report on your Ecological Footprint Reduction Project. Have you encountered success with implementing your intended changes? What challenges have you encountered? What have you learned so far from this activity?

·  In another one or two paragraphs, share your thoughts about the fourth week of class. What did you learn? What experiences stand out for you? What tasks or content did you find difficult or frustrating? What activities did you find surprising or exciting? Looking ahead, what are your intrigued or concerned by in the final week of the course?
