Kuehl Explores Alaska: Climate Connections
http://kuehlexploresalaska.blogspot.com/2010/11/climate-connections.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. I have known a little about the soil microbes in the arctic, but the video Soil Microbes and Global Warming. Provided more details about how soil microbes increase greenhouse gasses. And although, I know of forest succession. I did not apply that to global warming changing the environment changing to favor boreal forests. Themselves in that role. The video clip about how do we visualize stars will be complementary. How do we learn to adapt to the climate we are developing?

Explore Alaska Class: November 2010
http://sandi-explorealaskaclass.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 28, 2010. Essential Question: How is Earth's climate connected to its geological, biological, and cultural systems? To address this question we first need to be able to define climate. This is not as easy as it seems. There is so much information that is needed to understand Earth's climate and the change in it. What new learning or reflections have you taken from this module? One of the most interesting things that I learned about in this module was the role of Cyanobacteria. That I thi...

Living and Learning in Alaska. Monday, December 27, 2010. Module IX - Terrestrial Cryosphere. Explain: What new learning or reflections have you taken from this module? My exploration of this module began with learning about the Huna Tlingit. The contributions their history and culture has been able to make to knowledge of the Glacier Bay region is apparent. I learned that in the past, Glacier Bay was a single ice sheet called the Grand Pacific Glacier. The TD movie, Changing Arctic Landscape. Melting pe...

http://exploringalaskaclass.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Exploring Alaska with Kenai Kathy. Sunday, October 31, 2010. Cataclysmic Events (and Happy Halloween). Cute pumpkin carving video. How do these events help inform students? They are a great “hook” as everyone loves a great catastrophe or adventure – look at how popular disaster movies are! Most students have heard of great floods, earthquakes, and volcanoes and it is something that can really get their attention. We have a Magic Planet projector. What did I learn this week. Is a really awesome place to v...
