Visit with Mozilla

Today we are having an after school meeting with Geoff, who is a Mozilla representative. We are going over the time-line for this semester and we have to have a meeting between the new and old students. The discussions between the groups of students are about how we will be moving forward in the project, we will be continuing the water monitoring system and we will also be adding a new addition to the monitoring system, we will be testing the oxygen levels in the creek behind our high school. So this semester students are taking this project a step further and adding new additions to our water buoy and testing new levels in the creek. Tomorrow we will be testing the buoy for the first time to see if it will need any repairs or to make changes if needed. Thanks for checking us out, stay tuned in for more news!!!

Learning about the water buoy

Working with college students

What are we doing today?

Today we are continuing our work for the project, although we cannot fully work on it. we have groups of kids working on different things, like one group is working on what water shed we live in. Then we have a group working on an XBEE; which is a module used for radio communication transceiver and receiver. Another group is working hard to build buoy so we can measure the iron levels, the oxygen levels, and the temperature of the creek behind our school. Then we have a group working on instructional videos for the future students! Needless to say, we are all trying to work hard towards our goal of reaching the project destination!! GOOD LUCK ENVIRONMENTALISTS!!!!

Don't forget

Hey there environmental scientists,  don't forget that you're chapter1 packet, and the Tragedy of the Commons are due when we get back to school. Have fun finishing your work♥

Sorry for the Delay

 February 24
     We have been out of school for about a week now, and the weather had been cold and snowy/icy here. Being in the south, we don't really get powder snow, instead we get slushy ice and wet snow because of all of the humidity in the air here. Remember students in Mrs. Pattersons 6th block class that your "Tragedy of the Commons" packet and worksheet is due tomorrow, February,25.

Welcome back!

This is the newest group to take over the wireless watchdogs and we are excited to share and document our progress with you. Unfortunately we are not able to work for the project as of now, but we will still be posting our awesome adventures that we do in here!
                   We are currently working on our arduino circuits and i will post a video of my groups circuit set in the next few hours. Thank you for being patient and waiting for us to start back up.
