Sunday, November 7, 2010. Module V The Ocean, The Science, and Our Connection. Doesn't the salt give the sidewalks some traction so we don't slip? Here is my Google Earth image of the Gulf Stream and the continental shelf off the East coast. How similar they appear! I found several great articles in my favorite magazine Earth. Formally known as Geotimes). One article in particular follows the interview of geochemist Wally Broecker. Http:/ www.environmentalgraffiti.com. The module really makes connections...

Explore Alaska Class: Terrestrial Cyrosphere

http://sandi-explorealaskaclass.blogspot.com/2010/12/terrestrial-cyrosphere.html

Monday, December 27, 2010. How are climate, terrestrial ice and Alaskan indigenous cultures all connected? Once again, there is some of the information from this module that really stood out to me was logical and not particularly hard conceptually but I never really thought about it. For example, in the introduction the concept that terrestrial ice is frozen fresh water instead of frozen salt water was discussed. Even though this makes sense I had never thought about it. It looks at the idea of climate c...

Sunday, October 31, 2010. Danger in Our Backyard: Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis! Explain What new learning have you taken from this module? In this module I have learned about the creation story of Hawaii and the controversy surrounding the astronomy site in Hawaii. These were both things that I previously did not know about. We used Google Earth several times in this module and I think that I can know say I feel comfortable with it and would now feel comfortable using it in my classroom. It could ...

Dan Adair Blog site. Friday, November 5, 2010. Has a link oceans alive. Which I will be using with my physical science classes. Thanks for that resource Janet. Has a picture of a balloon with a light below it. What activity is that Cheryl? Link she provides is very "cool" Check it out and you will get my terrible pun. Makes a good point that as educators we need to filter out the resources and information in the modules that will best meet the needs of our students. Great reminder Alison. When I have kid...

Explore 907: November 2010

http://explore907.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Something else from this module that intrigued me was the information about the big bang. I had no idea that we could detect remnant microwaves from this event. The fact that we have this piece of visible evidence for something that happened so long ago is pretty amazing. I was curious to learn what other cultures might believe about how the universe was created, so I looked up some creation stories. Painting of P'an Ku from Google Images. Soon I plan on also using the video...
