Worked on completing the summary for the short story we did on Monday, Thank-You, So Kind

Environmental Working Group web site as part of out investigation of science and chemicals that are in our everyday products I introduced the students to this informative website that has a database of over 79000 products that we use daily (personal use , cleaning and food) that are safe. The research done shows what chemicals are in the ingredients and which of those chemicals have an effect on our endocrine system. Over exposure to many of them over he years can affect our susceptability to various immune disorders and cancers!
We looked at Colgate Total toothpaste today and L'oreal's Frizz Free serum
We will be following up in the coming weeks with a lab on shampoo products which I hope will have the students understand the billion dollar personal care marketing imdustry has us all by the 'short and curlies'.
Art we had at least a 20 minute session for art today.
