If it wasn't for Global Cooling, the Beringia land bridge wouldn't have formed, making it impossible for the influx of new inhabitants to North America. It it wasn't for Global Warming, large areas in North America could not have been inhabited because of the glacial ice sheets. You win some. You lose some. Image from powells.com. I have heard locally about the ...

Sunday, November 14, 2010. Module VI Weather Connections. How are the Earth, atmosphere and cultures all connected? The Arctic Haze segment really caught my eye. Driving into Anchorage every morning I see this brown haze hanging over the Cook Inlet and Fire Island area. The dust kicked up by the largest city in Alaska is really evident in the wintertime. I am also using their geology unit Tectonic Fury. To supplement my own curriculum for earthquakes, volcanoes and plate tectonics. This resource is fille...

Sunday, October 31, 2010. Danger in Our Backyard: Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis! Explain What new learning have you taken from this module? In this module I have learned about the creation story of Hawaii and the controversy surrounding the astronomy site in Hawaii. These were both things that I previously did not know about.

Monday, November 29, 2010. Module 8 - How are Arctic sea-ice, climate and culture all connected? This unit was a good one for me, mostly because I have never seen true sea ice. Here in Southeast, we simply don't have any sea ice to speak of, so the whole idea of a large body of frozen water is pretty fascinating and seems impossible. Likewise the idea of being affected here by a change in this sea ice that I have never seen before is a new concept. I was interested to learn about the ICC Canada. To my st...
