Exploring Extreme Environments


Over the past two weeks, we have begun our unit titled Exploring Extreme Environments.  It is amazing how creatures and people are able to survive under such extreme conditions.

Some thoughts from the students...

"It its interesting how there is acid in caves" - Matthea

"I like learning about extreme environments because it is cool to see all the cool things that are in these environments.  Like it is freezing in the Arctic, and in the caves it is really dark and there are a lot of creatures in there like bats and glow worms." - Caleb

"I wonder how people are able to live in Anarctica because it is freezing cold there." - Liam

"You can turn urine into water in a process (part of a life support system) and the water will be totally clean.  They use this in spaceships to save water." - Emily
