Extra Credit: What Matters?

Hey All-Stars!!!

Want an extra credit opportunity that is only minimally science related?
Then this is for you!!!!

As a science teacher, climber, person, learner, I am OBSESSED with National Geographic! NatGeo constantly has awesome stories and even greater pictures.
NatGeo is reaching out to your generation and everyone in the world with a new "campaign" called "#framewhatmatters".

Here's their blurb about it:


For 125 years, National Geographic has been framing what matters, opening a window onto an amazing world with a simple yellow border. Now we invite you to frame what matters. Together we’ll create an evolving snapshot of what matters to the world, and perhaps a renewed appreciation for the planet that supports so many of the things we love.

Here's how to get extra credit:
1) By Wednesday, March 13, go to this site. See what other people have framed. 
2) Go to "How to Participate". Print and cut out the border.
3) Frame something and photograph it. Upload it to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #framewhatmatters. And, send me the picture in an email (mnickel@chccs.k12.nc.us). The picture must be taken off of school property, not during school hours, and must be sent to me off of school property after school hours. The picture must be appropriate and must not include people without their permission. Emailing me the picture earns 3 points on your Microbes in School lab grade.
4) For up to 5 points of extra credit, write 5 sentences explaining why you chose to frame what you framed. For up to 7 points of extra credit, relate what you framed to science (any field).

*If you can't take photos, ask me how you can still do this assignment.

What matters to you?
