Tuesday, April 20. 2021

Welcome to the last day of your classes...Today is the last day of the term, so if you need to get things in to me...today would be a good day!

"Do or Do not...there is no try"...Sage words from Yoda...so:

In the words of Yoda, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” So...“Failing is the path to the dark side. Failing leads to repeating. Repeating leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” 

Today's classes are:

9:15 - 11:50 D Block Legal Studies
12:30 - 3:05 A Block Physical Geography

D Block Legal Studies - After today there are no classes remaining in the learning commons to complete your civil litigator project. It's due today so email it to me or print it off and hand it to me please...thank you. If you are missing work (check MyEdBC) please submit it to me. Although you're leaving the "Law Family" I promise I will not alienate you from your other class family parents...from Reconnecting Families "The term Parental Alienation Syndrome was first defined by Richard Gardner, a U.S. Psychologist in 1985. It refers to the phenomenon whereby one parent attempts to alienate the child or children from the other parent after a separation has taken place".

A Block Physical Geography - Did you know that the City of Vancouver aims to become fully reliant on renewable energy by 2050, coupled with an 80 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions? Check out the Renewable City Strategy here (check out the City of Courtenay's Climate Action Plan here. We even have a renewable energy company here "Terratek").  Today we'll be back in the learning commons to work on your BC renewable energy activity. Remember you need to examine all five of the most common renewable energy sources (geothermal, wind, biomass, marine hydrokinetic, and solar) specifically identifying:

1.       Give a definition and an explanation of how it is produced
2.       Provide three examples of how the source is used (globally)
3.       Detail three advantages and three disadvantages of using the source
4.       Assess the potential for developing that source of energy here in BC
5.       Choose the best option out of the ones they listed to develop here in BC (think cost to make and transmit and return on investment)

Remember you must look at all five renewables and provide sound reasoning as to why you believe their top choice should be chosen as an energy project here in BC, Look at yesterday's blog post for links...and in your Geosystems textbook:

Solar pages 109-111
Wind pages 170-171
Geothermal pages 363-365
Tidal pages 523-524

The provincial government’s CleanBC plan calls for a massive program of electrification of homes, industry and transportation with aggressive greenhouse-gas reduction targets set for 2030. By 2040, every car sold in B.C. is to be zero emission, while every home is to be net-zero energy ready by 2032. More links:
