This website offers a wide variety of information on the issue of climate change in the US. It gives info on how it effects our environment, how one tests the climate, and more. It has a map which has facts on the state of our climate in our area. All in all, it is a great site for information.

I really liked the map, it was very helpful and I was able to learn about climate change in the Great Plains, Midwest, northwest, southwest, southeast, and mid west. The information was helpful and cool to find out how to test it.

This site shows the climate change

This website is organized and is great for all levels of people who want to learn about climate change.

This site gives you basic information about climate change and what we can do about it. It teaches you about why the climate is changing and the issues that are causing it to change. It also has a map where you can click on a section and it will tell you about the climate there and things that affect their climate.

This is a site about why climate change is happening, what to do about it, and the impacts based on region in the U.S.. This site is informational to people who don't know much about climate change.

This site is a detailed version about global warming it also shows the effects on many things such as water resources, impacts on agriculture the vulnerability of humans to UV rays, and impacts on ecosystems.

This website shows how climate change is changing the earth and what we could do to stop climate change from happening.

This describes the rapidly increasing climate on Earth. Most of this is basic facts that are very interesting.

This is a very helpful website because it gives all the information you'll ever need like regional impacts on climate change, what the causes are, and how to help slow it down.

I was very impressed with this website. I thought that it told a lot about where the earthquakes are and when they happened. This did not have any information on our unit, though.

There was a much larger variety of dinosaurs than I thought.

It adds the different types of the dinosaurs. Like marine and land and stuff

This is a website from NASA and it has differs videos, and articles describing some of the news that has happened lately with the concept of Climate Change. One of my favorite arrivals firm this website was the seeing salty shifts article/videos. It shows the changes that had happened recently in the climates color changes. Hope you guys enjoy.This also says that the carbon dioxide levels have been higher than they have ever been that can eventually destroy animal life and all of their habitat because there is too much CO2, terrible air quality due to pollution. This is evident that humans have started the pollution rates in the atmosphere. Climate change can cause many different disasters to happen in the world. Another really cool part about this website was all if the detailed pictures that it showed. I really liked the picture where it showed where there was vegetation from 2000 to 2010.

This site is mostly about the current happenings about climate chage!

This helped me understand stromatolites Better!!!!!

It was a great website with everything about stromatolites from modern fresh water stromatolites to how they were in the Precambrian times.

This website talks about stromatolites. It gives you a definition, about their fossils, where they use to be located and where they are located now both below and above water.

I thought this website as very good at explaining stromatolites and was super useful. Wikipedia is a very good recourse.

This site has great facts on stromatolites which are good to know. I learned things about stromatolites I didn't know before.

I thought this website was good in explaining stromatolites by using good pictures and vocabulary.

This website taught me a lot about stromatolites that I didn't know. I also thought it was cool how it taught you about how they were in ancient times and modern times.

This website shows how stromatolites form and it goes into depth about it. They generalize all facts about stromatolites and what they are. They can go into detail but Wikipedia can be unreliable because I found several grammatical and spelling errors

This was interesting because I did not know that stromatolites were one of the oldest forms of life.

Why are the layers curved?

Wow! Stromatolites are the oldest form of life on earth. They generalized lots of facts into a very informative page.

Stramatolites are the oldest fossils known. They are everywhere

There are remains that go all the way back to 3.5 billion years ago!!!! That's amazing! They are also the oldest fossils known.

This websit was very helpful. It is reinvent to what we are learning in class and has a lot of useful facts. I goes into detail with many subjects.

This is a cool website, but it is not really going to help with our ancient Denver's unit, it has many rocks and is very cool.

The museum has a really good supply of well cared for artifacts. They have a lot of ancient and modern artifacts.

This rock museum website displays many rocks ,minerals, artifacts, and fossils.

The website is full of ancient rocks and artifacts, but I don't think it will help us on Ancient Denver's since crater rock is in Oregon not Denver.

This was a good site to look at different rocks, but not really informative.

This museum has cool artifacts but it doesn't relate to our Ancient Denver's

The rocks were very cool and interesting. But this is useless for what we are learning.

Has a lot of exhibits about rocks. However it is very off topic with stuff about Indian artifacts. It is also in Oregon so it is not that useful

This is a good site if you want to see exhibitions and rocks, but it won't really help us in science and it doesn't really have to do with the geology of Denver.

It was a cool website to look at all the different rocks, but it isn't that informative and its not really going to help on this unit, plus it's in Oregon.

This has nothing to do with what we are learning because its in Oregon. It's really cool to look at the different types of rocks but its not useful to this unit

This website won't help much, it didn't say much about the rock anyways. It told more about the meuseum. Also, it doesn't really have to do with Ancient Denver at all.

Stromatolites are the Earth's oldest fossils. Some stromatolites are from 3.5 MYA. Stromatolites are all over the world.

This was really cool because the pictures really made you think.

They old things are really cool.

The pictures were very interesting and stromatolites are the oldest fossils. They are about 3 million years old

I can't believe the world may have depended on stromatolites.

I did not know that they are the oldest fossils on Earth. If scientists disagree about the definition, then is there more information to be found about these fossil?

I did not know that stromatolites were the oldest fossil on earth. And some scientists think that they were formed from green and blue algae but that is just one theory. This is a helpful interesting website that will help with our geology unit.

This site taught me that the stromatolites are a rather unknown species that's formation is not too well known.

i thoght it was very interesting that the plates are always moving but it takes us millions of years to see progress.

This is a really good website about stromatolites and retakes to what we are learning.

Great find Christine. this really relates to what we have been learning in science class. Some of the facts that i had learned while reading the sections, even though I had not read all of them because, I was pressed on time, that stromatolites are considered one of the earths oldest fossils besides phylogenetic determination of conserved nucleic acid sequences. Stromatolites are basically considered portals to the knowledge of earths past life, into the deep time of the earths existence, the evolution of different species that are thriving in the modern times. I didn't know that scientist often disagreed on how to classify stromatolites. Some believe that it is a laminated rock that is formed by the growth of blue or green algae.

This video is what we learned a while back, so it was not very helpful for what we are learning now

This was a video that helps to take you in depth into sauropods and what they are.

This video tells all about the largest sauropods and it compares them in size and really explains what a sauropod is.

I thought this video did it's job to show the biggest sauropods but, I wasn't impressed. It should no other information, where it lived, what it ate, the height, the weight, etc.

This video did not explain, as Charlie said, where these creatures lived, the kinds of food it consumed, it's length and body mass, and the other essential details. All it did include was the names of the 6 largest Sauropods and compared their size to each other.

The largest one's tail is by far the longest compared to body size and is also by far the largest. It kind of looks like the Loch Ness monster!

This video is helpful because it compared them in size and told us the names of them. On the other hand it did not give us any other information about the dinosaurs. Like what they eat, where they live and other important details.

In this site, you learn all about dinosaur ridge's history and all the fossils in it.

When Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints. These were found to include mostly Iguanodon-like footprints, perhaps from Eolambia. Carnivorous theropod tracks are also present.

I learned after reading the information posted on Wikipedia that the majority of the footprints on the ridge are Iguanodon-like footprints.

I didn't know that dinosaur ridge was world famous. This website had very useful information.

This wikipedia site was very helful. Unlike most wiki's, this webisite did not flood me with information. It had only the nessicary info. I had no idea that when Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints.

That's cool how you can see the actual tracks that dinosaurs made. But how were they fossilized.

I thought this was a really good resource about dinosaur ridge. It talked about the fossils there an death dinosaurs are fou d there

It was very interesting to see how the dinosaur tracks have been preserved into the rock. Dinosaur ridge is a very important geological site, and it is amazing that it is located in Colorado.

Part of the Morrison Fossil Area National Natural Landmark is Dinosaur Ridge. Morrison, Colorado, that is just west of Denver, is where it is located. Dinosaur Ridge has found very famous dinosaur fossils over the years.

This is a news paper article about global warming and climate change.

This website tells about the process of climate change, but it also tells about global warming. This is a good website to find facts about climate change and global warming. This website also tells about why 2012 was the hottest year in U.S. history. The map on the bottom of the page is very detailed. It shows a very detailed map about climate change and the global warming.

This article includes many statistics about climate change all over the world, such as, global emissions jumped 3 percent in 2011 and are expected to jump another 2.6 percent in 2012. It also explains why 2012 was the hottest year ever recorded in US history. At the bottom of the page, there is a picture that you can click on that takes you too a map of heat across the US.

The world reached a record high amount of carbon admissions in 2011 sending the amount of carbon in the air up 3 percent, and they are expected to rise another 2.5 percent by 2012, reports are showing that in the most advanced countries admissions amounts are gradually decreasing due to there efforts to reduce carbon admissions. Admissions continue to grow so rapidly that the world has set a goal of keeping the rise under 3.6. For many decades scientists have said they will do something but never have.

This website has basic facets about climate change. I think it's very interesting it goes into how 2012 was one of the hottest years and why. It also talks about the controversy of global warming and shows arguments for both sides. Check it out!

It was cute and funny.

It was funny and cute, but it doesn't really tells anything about the clam just how it swims. But I like it.

That's cute

Funny video but completely unrelated.

I love the clam, but it doesn't help our unit.

Cute clam, but it's not really related to our unit...

This was useless, it was not cute at all, it was a waste of my time!!!

Adorable clam but doesn't relate to the unit.

It is so cute but has nothing in common with what we're learning.

This was not a useful video it could have been improved by saying how it was swimming, or more detail.

The clam is really cool and "cute" but it has nothing to do with what were learning.

This I cool but it has absolutely nothing to do with what we are learning

This is very interesting and it could be a topic for more study however, it may not be appropriate for this topic.

The clam was supper funny looking and looked like it was just opening and closing its mouth, but really had nothing to do with what we are talking about it.

I never knew that clams swam like that. It is very odd

This was interesting because I never knew clams could swim!

Has little to do with ancient Denver's, they turned into fossils. Interesting, cute, and disgusting. This video shows a little clam swimming @ YouTube.

This clam is so weird yet cute!! But it doesn't relate to our unit

I didn't think clams could even swim!

I thought clams just sit on the ocean floor for their whole lives. I didn't know they could swim.

That clam is very strange but it is cool how clams swim and it is pretty cool colors

The only reason I new clams swam like this was sponge bob!

Very strange......

Cute clam!!!!!!!!! Swims with mouth open. Why does it have stringy things coming from it

The clam swims with its mouth open and on the top. It looks like it is pulling itself up and then it kind of goes down. (It swims like the clams in spongebob!)

It is cool how the clam eats and then spits out the "extra" and moves the oposit way of the pushing out.

Chase, writing that was a waste of time and u didn't have to watch it!

This is a cute WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have only thought that they float on the ocean floor, but they can swim. It is cool how they go opposite of the current so they can move.

This doesn't really have much to do with what we're learning, but it's still really cute and interesting how clams can swim, and not just float around on the ocean floor.

I did not know that clams could swim. It is fascinating how they have developed a way to swim just by pushing water around.

This clam is very interesting because it is small and can swim. This would be very helpful for avoiding predators, but it doesn't have much to do with our unit.

Thats interesting, i didn't realize clams could swim like that.

It is scary that when you swallow sea water you swallow thousands of little sea clams too.

But there is still some educational value- it came up in disscussion

That was actually cool, but it had no relation to Anxient Denvers.

This was kinda cute but totally useless with what were learning.

That... Is... Awesome!!! But I agree that is almost utterly useless.

That pretty awesome!!! But it is useless.

I did not know that a clam could swim I thought that they just sat on the ocean floor there whole life.

This relates to our unit because clams fossilized plus it is interesting to see a clam swim.

I did not know that clams swam!

This has good information and talks about how igneous rocks are extrusive and how they are formed.

Wikipedia has good information on extrusive rocks, but very little.

This related to ancient Denver's and hands the information on extrusive rocks on a plate. Interesting and compares to intrusive rocks.

Good information

Great info, very little. I also found out that wiki might not be up any longer. I did not know that magma cools quicker in open airs or under seawater.

I thought the information on the intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks was interesting and helpful.

A little short not enough info. What it has is ok.

Really good info but not enough.

This has very detailed information on how extrusive rocks are formed. Magma cools quicker out in the open or under seawater!

The obsidian has no time to form crystals because it solidifies instantly.

This has useful information, yet it has very little. It sums up this process in a simple and understandable way to all.

I wouldn't say Wikipedia is the best source to be using. Anyone can go on there no add false facts.

Talks about how Denver is like an onion and the stuff we talked about during class.

Applies Denver onion idea to sandstone below Boulder

This is a very good website about what we talked about in class like about Denver being an onion.

Gives good info in a very simple way.

Wherever rocks of earths crust are visible, geology can be interpreted. This gives good examples and lots of details.

A good website to review everything we learned in class about Denver's geology.

This is really relevant to what we're learning! Only this is boulder... And we're studying Denver but its basically the same so this is really helpful and not so hard to understand!

This site went over Boulder geology in a very advanced and long way. I learned about all the geological periods and the effects they had on life in Boulder. I was not aware that there was a period known as the Pennsylvania Period.

I had no idea what the Pennsylvania period was until now. This is a really helpful site, but a little complex.

This tells you about boulder geology in a complexed way.

Tells about the geology in boulder.

I discovered when reading this that the earliest rocks in Boulder County are 1.7-1.8 billion years old.

This is really cool. At first I didn't even know Colorado had many earthquakes and this is helpful to know.

I did not know that CO had a 6.6 earthquake on the richter scale!

I did not know that Colorado had many earthquakes at all, but now I know that we had a more powerful earthquake that was a 6.6.

Good resource to go to

This website was helpful and had a graph that howled the times that the extinction happened

The website was very helpful and strait forward plus the dating extinction graph was a good representation of what happened.

This website is very helpful. Did you know that the extinction is now called the Great Dying

Very informative, the graph was very informative.

The graph was really nifty, made you think.

The graph showed what time most of the extinction took place.

It was the first mass extinction of insects .

I never knew the first large extinction of insects was called the great dying.

This has very cool information on the extinction! This will probably be useful in the future

This information was really useful. Wow up to 96% of marine life died during the great dying.

This extinction is the only known mass extinction, or dieing off of insects.

I really did not know that 96% of marine life died. Also 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species were extinct.

I really liked the cool facts that they told me, like how 96% of the marine life died.
