Blog Post Week #12

  1. What did you do in lab today?

- In lab this week we discussed increase and decrease of precipitation between different parts of Iowa. My tables focused on the Drake area. It was very interesting to read these graphs and analyze the data to understand the precipitation in the area. After discussing this information, we looked at how it would be affecting the gold finches. 

2. What was the big question?

- What is climate change and how does it affect the Goldfinch?

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

- We had our exam.

Textbook Chapter 21?

1. What did you learn?

- When reading chapter 21, I learned about the difference between climate and weather. Climate is over a longer period of time, when weather can be day to day. 

2. What was most helpful?

- I would say the most helpful part of the chapter was learning about climate change. This was helpful because climate change is affecting where we live and our own lives, and even our future kids lives. It makes you want to make a difference. 

3. What do you need more information on?

- I would like to earn more about how I can be making a difference everyday. Not just recycling, or turning my lights off, but something that would change how our world works for the betterment of the future. 

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

- No Questions.

 - 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.
