week 14

 

  1. What did you learn this week?
We learned about heat and conduction. We made a flip book demonstrating why liquid atoms move faster when heated rather than cooled. Water particles move faster when heat increases. Ice also melts faster on metal than wood because the particles are more tightly packed. 
  1. How can you apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future?
Using the anology of playing pool helps connect the resoning for slow particles and fast particles moving. Fast partcle hits slow particle. 

  1. What are new or remaining questions? 
how does kinetic energy come into play when thinking about assesing the simulation?

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. video notes  - 2020- hottest decade ever, largest number of mega-fires, caused by lots of droughts - fumes having impact on planet  - fires are now occuring annualy since earth is warming and droughts are more common  - sun is dominant source of energy  - carbon dixode peeked then went down then went back up again - plants takeup CO2 from atomospehere during summer, winter decomposition - caused by veggitation in northern hemisphere  - plant matter made up more of carbon 12 than carbon 13  - carbon coming from volanos have different ratios  Greenhouse effect  - image in presentation  Earths blenket and light  - certain gases in our atmosphere act like a blanket around the earth  - light rays coming from the sun contain visble photons (energetic light particles)  - abosrbed by earths surface A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.

week 11 science 2

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. We started lab having small and whole group discussion about formative assessments and teaching students based off of their questions. Next, we did an activity to determine 'who came first' which translates to how we are currently learning about things in earths history that occured first. We did an invesigation to determine what came fist in the principle of superposition.  - rocks form layers that become buried under more layers over time, the deeper we dig, the farther back in time we see. Fossils found deeper and deeper mean it gets older and older.  We also looked at the layers of earth.  1. sandstone  2. mudstone  3. limestone 4. volcanic ash  5. granite (shifts up, lead to fault line)  sand created through water is polished, smooth, similar in size  glaciers, polished, smooth, irregualr in size  wind  A description of what you learned in Thursda...

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. REVIEW: Different types of sand:  water (ocean)- polished,  smooth, similar in size  glaciers - polished, smooth, irregular  wind (dune) - opaque, fine grained, frosted, pitted  characteristics of water eriosion  - (1) headwaters, most gravity, moving faster, can carry mroe sediment - (2) TRANSFER ZONE, starts slowing down (3) depositional zone, U shaped river basin  when glaciers move acorss land, make U shaped valleys, not moving super fast  Transitioned into Climate Science  Measuring & Mapping, Precipitation in Iowa  How do we know if the goldfinch is in danger in Iowa?  I think they are starting to become endarged due to the evidence, but slowly. There has been an increase in rainfall which makes it harder for birds to survive.  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture. We took an exam during lecture.  Answer questions abou...
