Water
Best Web Site: http://enjoybottledwater.org/
I found that this website is the best out of all three of the websites because it is all directed toward water and focused on everything about it. It also has a lot of different links to important subjects about water. Lastly it has videos on the website as well.
Worst Web Site: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/bottled-water.htm
I found that this website is the worst out of all three of the websites for many different reasons. But the main ones were that it wasnt as focused on water as other and didnt have as much detail. Also it doesnt have as many links or videos on the subjects as the other two websites.
Final Question: I am more likely to drink water because it is healthly, pure, and a refreshing taste. These three reasons are not in many other beverages and really make me want to drink bottled water.
1)Water is absolutely essential to the human body’s survival. A person can live for about a month without food, but only about a week without water. http://www.allaboutwater.org/drink-water.html
2)A very obvious difference between tap and bottled water: Bottled water comes in a bottle. That single factor alone helps make it marketable because of the convenience factor.A very obvious difference between tap and bottled water: Bottled water comes in a bottle. http://enjoybottledwater.org/
3)Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing metabolism and regulating appetite.http://www.allaboutwater.org/drink-water.html

College
College is the start of your life and makes the path for the rest of your life. It might be the most important goal to achieve if you want to succeed in your life. Three ways that would get me into college is my work ethic, my athletics and my choice of community service. My work ethic is very high compared to others and this really helps me achieve new goals that i set, to help me make a new standard for my self. It will also lead to higher grades and a better SAT score. I also think that the two sports will help me get into college as well, soccer and lacrosse. My abilities at the two sports could lead for me getting a scholarship from either D1,2,or 3. Lastly my community service choice can help me get into a college. Mostly because most kids don't choose to help the elderly and will stand out to the admissions of the colleges

POGIL
1) The part of POGIL that i find most useful is the group work and trying not to ask the teacher questions but you classmates. It really challenges you and make you think harder about the question and the solution.
2) The part of POGIL that i find least useful is when you aren't as familiar with your classmates and the group doesn't work together as well. This makes the work harder considering you are not as familiar with all of the material.
3) I would improve these activities by working with the same group every time to really work together without being awkward tension between the group. Also to have bonuses or challenges on every POGIL for extra credit and to try to push and challenge the group with the work.
