Blog Post Week #13

  1. What did you do in lab today?

This week in lab we focused on climate and created a document to describe the data we looked at. I will include the link below.

2. What was the big question?

    What type of data do we have to have that supports that climate change is happening?

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

Throughout our lecture we discussed climate. Something that stood out to me was understanding how hot and cold climates are determined based on where one is located in regards to the equator. Somethings that affect specific regions would be elevation, wind, and air.

1. What did you learn?

      One thing that I learned is what a greenhouse gas is. A greenhouse gas is a gas that lets sunlight through to reach Earth's surface and trap heat in the atmosphere. They are made of three or more atoms bonded together and have an asymmetrical shape. 

2. What was most helpful?

Learning about the greenhouse effect was very helpful. Learning how they trap heat on earths atmosphere was something I did not know. I also learned that the green house effect is needed in order to regulate earths temperature. 

3. What do you need more information on?

Something that was confusing to me and I did not quite understand was the albedo effect. 

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.
