APES and other school projects (:

Instead of using plastic water bottles I use a reusable one; which reduces the amount of plastic waste going into the landfills!! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Kids today don’t really think about how much radon is in their house... but it’s really important to know to keep yourself safe! @franklinlorax #apeswaste

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Some recycling materials can be used to make t-shirts and other useful things! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Angie Carchesi 📚 @angiecarchesiAP]

The Carchesi household has a different bin for recyclables so we don’t throw them out with our regular trash and take up room in landfills; this way they can be reused to make more products! #apeswaste @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Sadly this is true... The snow in Wisconsin (In April :( ) is very reflective which can hurt our eyes! @franklinlorax #apesair

[Angie Carchesi 📚 @angiecarchesiAP]

Snow has a high albedo because it reflects up to 95% of incoming radiation! #apesair @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Brenna and I carpool to Innovative once or twice a week in order to save on gas (and save the environment!) @franklinlorax #apesair

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

I agree with that statement! Cheng talking less during class will definitely help with lowering the amount of carbon dioxide he expels into the air! #apesair @franklinlorax

[Anvitha Chowdary @AChowdary1]

For the greater good, Matthew Cheng needs to stop speaking and limit the amount of carbon dioxide he expels in order to reduce the number of greenhouse gasses contributing to climate change. @franklinlorax #apesair

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Before leaving school, Mr Gain will have to shut his lights off (that are powered by coal!) @franklinlorax #apesenergy

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

This field trip was really fun!! I never knew that Sendiks was so efficient and clean :) #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Before this class, I never knew anything about energy! Especially how food can be used for different things! #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Cheng(FHSLANG) @fhslang]

Crazy to think how everyday food can be ground up and used as biomass fuel. #apesenergy @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Sadly Cheng is not immortal so he will die eventually :( However he will be helping the earth by turning into humus! @franklinlorax #apesland

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Having this type of soil is really important with preserving plants! And the container is a really great decoration (: @franklinlorax #apesland

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

It was really cool finding out which size of rocks left behind the most water! Doing different labs helps us remember the different terms we learned during the notes (: @franklinlorax #apesland

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Our country is known for overconsumption and over nutrition! But pop tarts and Oreos are really tasty... @franklinlorax #apespop

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Today’s society uses a whole bunch of people to help spread the importance of world hunger! Overpopulation is a huge problem in today’s society (especially China). @franklinlorax #apespop

[jacob reindl @geckopilot]

We have to appreciate Thanos because he uses his fame to spread awareness on the problem of famine due to overpopulation, a problem that affects many people in the universe. @franklinlorax #apespop

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

We calculated how much food our body needs to survive our trip to the Boundary Waters in Northern Minn! @franklinlorax #apespop

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

@franklinlorax These fish are also r strategists! Marking them in the inclass field trip was really fun! It was cool seeing how we caught the marked ones.

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

This is such a great thing to do! It’s really cool to look at all the pictures of the animals that pass by the camera! @franklinlorax

[Brian Rodenkirch @BrianRodenkirch]

By setting up a trail cam to take pictures of wildlife, we can monitor the distributions of Wisconsin animals, such as deer, throughout the state. This helps us to understand characteristics such as the populations of certain species and where they live. #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

Julia is a K strategist. A k strategist organism focuses on quality not quantity. They stay with their offspring until they are ready to live on their own! #apeseco @franklinlorax

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

@ADirksmeyer @franklinlorax I see these messages all the time! People don't realize how many of these messages are around our city!

[Alaina Staerkel @AS515991apes]

@mayaschaefer58 @franklinlorax No one really thinks about how much water is used while washing your clothes!
