The Biosphere is a totally enclosed facility to be used
by humans to live on other planets. You
will be required to live in your Biosphere for a period of one (1) year. Once you are locked into your Biosphere, you
will not be able to leave/have deliveries of any kind made to your
Biosphere. You are not allowed to
fraternize with anyone in your Biosphere (or cross over to the other Biosphere
and fraternize with him or her).

Remember, once you are locked into your Biospheres, you
may not leave. YOU CANNOT CONTACT THE
OTHER BIOSPHERE OR ANYONE OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN BIOSPHERE. You will be provided with a phone which has
direct access to a live person in the event of an emergency. The software In your computers will block out
people/sites you should not be in touch with.
You cannot “order out” for anything.
This will be for a period of one (1) full year.
Class lecture will be from 4:30pm until 6:15pm. Working in your Biosphere groups will be from
6:15pm until 7:15pm. I am giving you
this class time to work on your project as many of you are working and may not
have the time needed to meet with your peers.
Remember, Individual Paper; Power Point Presentations
will be conducted on 04/21/2022. (Papers
will be turned in on an individual basis) Power Points will remain with your
group leader). Individual Papers are
worth 200 points per person. Power Point
Presentations are counted towards your Participation grade. If you do not participate in your group and
do not follow the instructions for your individual paper, you will fail the
course. Use the Internet to research the required
criteria for your Biosphere. During our
first class meeting, you will break out into your small groups – commence
working on this project immediately.
