week 9 science 2

 The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.

We talked about when things appeared/were created on earth. 



our table groups timeline: 

4000 mya oldest rock on earth 

3400 mya 1st life on earth 

2400 mya great oxygenation event 

470 mya first land plants 

200/300 mya pangea formed 

A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.

we took an exam during lecutre. 

Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading


What did you learn? 

For the text book reading, I completed the practice quiz for our exam. 

I learned about the history of the earth by looking at it represented on a clock. It was a different perspective and showed how spread out everythig really is. Humans were not on Earth until close to midnight on the clock example while rocks formed on earth occured so long ago (billions of years) 

What was most helpful?

The graphics were extremely helpful and descriptive when looking at earths timeline, it was nice to see it in a circle picture version instead of the long time line we did in class. Showed different representations. 

What do you need more information on?

More information on Snowball Earth would be helpful, I still do not understand why it happened. Was the earth one big ice cube? Is that what that means? 

What questions/concerns/comments do you have?

I find it really interesting to learn about how earth moved Pangea and how some animals and plants are similar one contienents coast lines.

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...
