DESCRIPTION: Used the class Wikispace to have students reflect on our study of environmental science. REFLECTION: Although not all students participated in the discussion, I was pleased with the response. This gave me a springboard to continue the study of natural resources based on what they said in their comments. I will definitely use this next year from the beginning of the year. I will use it in class and possibly for homework; in this way I hope to engage the parents more, since the students will not have papers to take home!

===We've been learning about natural resources. We know that some are renewable and some are nonrenewable. Click on the "discussion" tab to write your thoughts about how humans are using natural resources. Some idea starters are listed below:===


 * Should humans use renewable or nonrenewable resources, or both? Why?
 * What are some things you will start doing in order to conserve natural resources?
 * How do you think we'll get energy in the future?
