First-Week Introduction
There are many things that I hope to acheive this semester. More specifically, using my research, I will be able to help educate K-8 students on water ecology! It can be said that last semester I learned how to conduct different types of research such as interviews. I will be continuing that learning by meeting with both educators and organizations to cultivate lesson plans for K-8 students.

Course Goals
Choose five goals from the CODES Student Learning Outcomes that you’d like to work toward. Choose goals that are relevant to the scope of this course, select artifacts/examples based on activities assigned for this course, and explain characteristics in a way that illustrates how your artifacts/examples demonstrate your progress toward the goal.
Skills for Lifelong Learning (20%)

[For each 5% of effort you assign to your goal, provide at at least one example or artifact that demonstrates your learning process and shows how your made progress toward meeting that goal this semester (You would need four examples if the goal was worth 20% of your grade).
