Summary: This week in class we learned about extraction and harvesting. To extract or harvest is to get natural resources in a quick and manageable fashion. When people extract resources from the land, it destroys the land and all the homes that animals have made there. After resources have been extracted, they are transported to a factory and processes, which adds to carbon emissions.

SP6: Constructing explanations and designing solutions
This week in class we discussed the problem that extracting and harvest natural resources causes. We discussed possible solutions, like: Making the trucks that transport the resources electric, powering the factories using clean energy like solar power. On last solution would be: using old fashioned techniques to extract the materials and using regular factories to process the materials and ship them out.
