 * Intro**: At Country Day, classes use a large amount of paper for homework. This project is testing the solution we have come up with, the purpose is to see how much paper is used for homework for one class. We think if teachers use online homework, they will cut back on paper usage for thier class.

1. Organize and assing groups for each grade level. 2. Get teachers permission to use online homework. 3. Measure amount of paper a class uses in one week. 4. Record data. 5. After first week, change all the homework to online, turn in by e-mail. 6. Record data from second week. 7. Compare data. 8. Weigh paper and calculate total weight saved from online HW.
 * Procedure**:


 * Data:**
 * || Week with Regular HW || Week with Online HW ||
 * Ms. Biggers || 90 || 0 ||
 * Mrs. Rohr || 310 || 0 ||
 * Mr. Keilty || 73 || 0 ||
 * Mr. Rinehart || 127 || **0** ||

After we had the teachers post online HW for their classes, the amoubt of HW paper saved was 100%. Over the course of the year, we would have saved 172,000 pieces of paper. We think that if teachers useonline HW, they will cut back on paper usage because all of the information is on the computer and is not needed to be printed out. The errors we had in the project was miscommunication between us and Mr. Rinehart and the rejecion of Mr. Jarret to og along with the project. The other error was the length of time we had to collect data for our lab. The biggest challenge we had was when the teacher had to remember the amount of paper they used for all of their classes. The solutions of the experiment was a 100% decrease of paper after the teacers started posting HW online. If this were ot continue throughout the year at the same pace, Country Day would save aobut 172,000 pieces of paper.
