(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.
- For my independent study component, I plan on volunteering at the Santa Ana Watershed's Interpretive Center in Chino, CA. By volunteering/job shadowing there, I will increase my knowledge of conservation ecology, and give me more intel on how I can effectively pursue my interests.
(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.
- I think that my plan will reach the 30 hour requirement, because I will be on-site at an interpretive facility, job shadowing Brett Mills, hopefully, and he is a Biological Technician whose specialty is endangered fish that are in the Santa Ana Watershed. Depending on what I'll be doing at the Interpretive Center, that will determine how much I get out of volunteering there. If my time there does not meet the 30 hours, then I will further my research on my own by walking along local beaches effected by oil spills and gather any items that I can.
(3) How does your independent study component relate to your working EQ?
- My working EQ is "What is the one of the most important things you can do to help preserve the earth's natural beauty?", and my independent study component relates to my EQ because one of the most important things you can do is get informed on what exactly happens when our oceans are polluted and the negative effects it has on humanity.
Approved.
