Each week you will choose a topic of research, design idea, or project-based learning. It will be an individual choice determined by your interests and the availability of the materials you may have access to. You should spend twenty minutes a day or one hour and forty minutes per week working on this activity. You may choose to do a series of weeklong mini project/activities or it choose something that takes multiple weeks to complete. Please make sure you document what you are doing and submit it to me each Friday. You will receive credit for what you submit on Friday. Include step by step instructions, a weekly write up of progress, or evidence of completion. Include pictures or and sketches if necessary. Keep the activities horticulture related and have fun while you are learning. The following is a popular definition of horticulture; "The cultivation, processing, and sale of fruits, nuts, vegetables, and ornamental plants as well as many additional services. It also includes plant conservation, landscape restoration, soil management, landscape and garden design, construction and maintenance, and arboriculture”.Here are some suggestions on how to arrange what you have learned, but if you have other ideas feel free to use them; Written research report Informational PowerPoint Presentation Informational Poster List of documented work, including pictures and sketches if necessary (for long term project that may takes longer than one week) Here are some suggestion for topics of study; Landscape design (research and design a landscape plan for your current house or your dream house) Greenhouse design and use (why use a greenhouse, what is the benefit of using a greenhouse)Plant propagation (grow a vegetable garden or grow a flower garden and monitor/care for it) Landscaping and yard maintenance (weed your landscaping, mow the lawn, apply fertilizer)Create identification cards for individual plant species (wild and/or ornamental plants)Build raised flower beds then plant something and care for it. Identify and explain the function of the different parts of plants Research the importance of soil, soil structure, soil erosion and conservationWhat is Transpiration? How does it work in a plant? Fertilizers, nutrients necessary for plant growth, signs of nutrient deficienciesResearch and Explain the process of Photosynthesis Respiration Plant pests and disease What is organic growing? Positives and negatives.Identify native medicinal plants Etc… If you get stuck and need a suggestion let me know and I will help you choose something. Each week you will get credit for submitting the documentation of the work you have completed. Please email me your finished product by Friday at the end of the day. You can email documents, email a picture, or drop off the final product at the school during the drop off times. When you email please put your full name the word Horticulture in the subject line. If you have any questions please send me an email at aevans@, my office hours are from 10:00-11:00 but you can email me anytime and I will respond when I see it. ?Pre-Engineering I (Tech I): Mr. Coffman’s Office Hours: 8:00am – 9:00am RCoffman@ This Week’s Pre-Engineering II Work: Pre-Engineering I am going to be very flexible since I know we all have different living situations. Each week you are going to do some engineering related designing or making based project. These projects will be individual and primarily determined by what resources you have available and what your interests are in life. Here are some basic guidelines: Do a project. Make something and document what you did. There are literally millions of projects out there. For example, I typed clothespin projects into Google and got a lot of ideas of projects you could do with an old clothespin. Research something that you want to learn about in life. A few examples: How do magnets work? How does an LED light work? How does a nuclear reactor work? You could also work on a larger project that takes a longer period of time, and then submit weekly progress reports. A few examples: helping your family build or remodel a house, building a shed, chicken coop, tree house, learning to weld, painting a room or entire house, building a fence, helping the neighbor cut trees or brush, Develop more skill in Computer Aided Design (CAD): download Rhino or TinkerCAD and use on-line tutorials to learn how to draw things with these CAD tools. If you don’t have a computer or internet that is ok, you can do a lot of these activities using pencil and paper. Engineers all have an engineering notebook where they document everything. A few examples: draw the basic floor plans of a house labeling all of the rooms. This could be your house or a house you would consider building. I would use a ruler and make a scale of ?”=1’. You could also draw out your property labeling everything. You could make a bunch of paper airplanes and explain how it was done while testing them out. Please make sure you are documenting what you are doing and submit it to me. Include step by step instructions as and/or a weekly write up. A picture says a thousand words, so include pictures if you can. You might want to do a project one week and research something the next just to change things up a bit. My goal is to get your hands and brain doing something productive. Each week you will get points for submitting your documented notes. You can either type them up and e-mail them to me or write them out neatly and send me a photo of your written notes from a cell phone. These weekly submissions will be the basis for your grade in Pre-engineering as we move forward to the end of the year.
