Blog Post Week #9

 1. What did you do in lab today?

- In lab this week, we focused on the timeline of our planet. Something that was very helpful was creating a timeline where we were instructed to put different moments in history along it. The model was scaled down but it helped me understand how long the planet has been around, compared to how long humans have been on the planet which was a crazy concept for me! 

2. What was the big question?

    The big question was, How has our planet changed geographically over time? What did that process look like?

3. What did you learn in Thursday's discussion?

  - We had our exam this week. 

Textbook Chapter 15

1. What did you learn?

- Something I learned about in the reading was that the creating of the moon was about 4527Ma. I also learned that at least three tie sin our history, the earth was covered in ice. This is called snowball earth. 

2. What was most helpful?

- The most helpful part of the chapter was the continental drift. It is fascinating to learn about how the land on our earth was all connected and you can see that the way our continents are shaped, they could fit together like a puzzle. 

3. What do you need more information on?

- Something I need more information on would be Pangaea. I am having a hard time understanding how we haven't shifted more over time. 

1. What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have?

- I do not have any questions at this time!

 - Something we learned about this week was pollination. It was really cool to check in on our fast plants and use them for self pollination. We noticed that our plants were growing significantly! After checking in, we used dead bees to self pollinate these plants. We also did an activity where we learned about the turtles and their chance of living. That interactive activity was a ton of fun! - Prior to class, I knew about turtles and that they lay their eggs on the beach. I was not aware of how many eggs they lay at once, and I didn't know it was not in the turtles favor that they are going to survive! - I can apply this to my future teaching career by using the same activity we used to learn about turtles. I think it teaches a good lesson of for the students that the world can be very dangerous to animals. It was also important to learn about the impacts humans make and how difficult they make it for the animals.
