ENE 480 Lab 2 Section 2

I sampled the Tacoma Hills pond this morning at 9:15 AM. Note: the pond has an outlet to the Red Cedar River and during high flows in the river the water flows into the pond from the river. While sampling, I met John B. Ohlrogge, Professor Emeritus of Plant Biology.  According to him the pond is spring-fed.  I will try to see if I can confirm this. 

North side: Field pH 8.36; Temperature: 6.9 C

 Good evening, I hope you are had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break! On Monday, I will not lecture, but will be available in the classroom to answer any questions you may have about Lab 4 presentations and the final design project.  If you borrowed the CO2 monitor, charger, and USB cable over break, please make sure to bring them to lecture on Monday.  The data are to be downloaded before arriving in class. Failure to return the equipment in working order on the day specified will result in a zero for lab 4. You should be prepared to work on the final project during lab this week (and next).   Lab 4 presentations and reports and the participation question responses are due Friday, Dec. 2. The final project is due Monday, Dec. 12 at 11:59 PM.  The final participation question responses will be due at the same time. All the best, Dr. Masten

In lecture on Monday, I will discuss the final project and provide additional guidance beyond what we discussed last week. Section 2 students: please arrive to class ready to turn in the CO2 monitor, charger and USB cable before class.  The data are to be downloaded before arriving in class. Failure to return the equipment in working order on the day specified will result in a zero for lab 4. There is no lab this week for either Section 1 or Section 2 students. If you would like to work on the final project on Tuesday afternoon, please email Joseph to make arrangements.  There is no participation question this week. Enjoy Thanksgiving and rest!
