The following (emails) were written by members of the Environmental Science, 2000 during the second day of the program. Some elementsmay have been removed for various reasons, but the text that remains is in the student's own words.
Today was fun. I had a good time working on the models. I'm thinking about what I want to do for the project. Today was even better than yesterday. Thanks,bye.

To day was fine at the beginning of class because I understood what I was doing but after lunch it got boring because I did not know what I was doing. I hope tomorrow will be better!
-Treasure
Today was better than yesterday because I actually understood things. I'm really happy about doing solar energy and today the big phosphorus project looked hard and it really wasn't. bye
-Jordan
I liked today's experiments a lot more than yesterdays because I understood what i was doing a lot more. I really enjoyed the last model we made because it wasn't that hard and it was interesting. The one aboout the water cooling in the cup was alright too and I am glad I finally learned how to work STELLA.

Today we made complex model dealing with phosphorous. We also decided what our projects would be.
-Amber
I liked the camp a lot and I just love it here. Peace out. Chow!
-Lauren
Today we work on our projects. We worked on a very complicated STELLA model. I really enjoy today and the competition we had on the stella model. I hope tommrow is like this. I am going to work on a solar energy for my project.

Today we did some models in Stella. The first one we did was how hot water cools in a cup. It was really fun. I also liked the last one we did, the Lake Wingra model. It was about a factory near the lake that was dumping waste in the lake which had a lot of Phosphorus in it. The model showed what the phosphorus went through: the phytoplankon, the zooplankton, the fish, the detritus, and the sediment. It was really hard but I enjoyed doing it.

Today I did two models in Stella. The first model was of how fast boiling water cools down in a cup. I also did a very complicated and hard model of the amount of Phrospate in a lake in Wisconsin, but I got it right. I have become very good at using Stella

I really enjoyed today's class. It was alot of fun. My favorite activity was the stella model on the Phosphorus in the water. It was very interesting and I really understood it and had fun with it. I am exciting to work on projects tomorrow!
-Jabeen
Today we worked with Stella a computer program that lets you look at real life problems. We worked on finding the level of Phosphorus in fish. It was fun.

Today I made model that didn't work, I'll find that quirk that did not work! I don't like how we switched partners right before a really hard model.
