    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.
  • graceberlind on 26 Nov 12
     
    The museum has a really good supply of well cared for artifacts. They have a lot of ancient and modern artifacts.
  • jmacdonald11 on 26 Nov 12
     
    This rock museum website displays many rocks ,minerals, artifacts, and fossils.
  • sydturner12 on 26 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • grantamann on 26 Nov 12
     
    This was a good site to look at different rocks, but not really informative.
  • graceymounsey on 26 Nov 12
     
    This museum has cool artifacts but it doesn't relate to our Ancient Denver's
  • chasestreet on 26 Nov 12
     
    The rocks were very cool and interesting. But this is useless for what we are learning.
  • nateswag on 26 Nov 12
     
    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
  • christinemb on 26 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • Maria Jose Urbina Gonzalez on 26 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • izzyhaifleigh on 26 Nov 12
     
    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
  • Anna Scott on 27 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • macycummings on 27 Nov 12
     
    This isn't very helpful... More touristy.

    I feel that the website is very interesting and cool. It would be a little weird to turn a dead relative into a diamond but it is very cool.
  • paulstone88 on 26 Nov 12
     
    I think this is creepy. But kind of important to what we are doing
  • jmacdonald11 on 26 Nov 12
     
    It's website showed you how to turn ashes into diamonds and jewelry. Very wierd
  • graceberlind on 26 Nov 12
     
    This is really, really weird and disturbing but it has to do with creating rocks.

    That's a weird subject
  • emmiemontes on 26 Nov 12
     
    This is really weird and awkward

    Had nothing to do with unit

    This seems rather disturbing. It is an interesting idea though.
  • willbomgaars on 26 Nov 12
     
    This is cool and talks about the rock cycle but does not relate to ancient Denvers.
  • Ren Lubchenco on 26 Nov 12
     
    That's just messed up

    At first I was confused but, then I read keep your dead ones close and that was wierd.
  • adalynrichards on 26 Nov 12
     
    This does not relate much to ancient Denver's, but it is creepy and interesting. Does this mean that you. Can run a dead human ashes into a diamond?
  • Kali Soud on 26 Nov 12
     
    Amazing! I would love to see the process of that!

    I don't exactly understand how this relates to our studies

    That's kind of dark and creepy and shows what some businesses actually sell.
  • willcaulkins on 26 Nov 12
     
    That is really weird, but I guess it makes sense if people don't want to keep their loved ones in a box.
  • hannahfallon on 26 Nov 12
     
    That is freaky to turn someone into a diamond
  • katieneal713 on 27 Nov 12
     
    That's really cool that someone can become a diamond! A little creepy though...
  • julierumpf on 27 Nov 12
     
    Creepy to turn a family member in to jewelry
  • beaubeaubenson on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is cool how they make them. But very strange to turn someone into a diamond
  • samangell on 27 Nov 12
     
    very cool website not to much information though
  • elevine_14 on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is interesting how they can make ashes into diamonds! I wonder who thought of this idea.
  • cj5600 on 27 Nov 12
     
    This is amazing that something like this could happen with heat and pressure. There is not enough information.

  • evanrumsfeld on 27 Nov 12
     
    This does not give very much info and is irrelevant

    It is so cool that you can turn ashes into diamonds.
  • sophiehernandez on 30 Nov 12
     
    The process of making these must take a lot of heat and pressure. It's amazing that you can turn worthless ashes into really awesome diamonds that could be worth a lot of money.
  • gracemasters on 01 Dec 12
     
    If we can now change ash into diamonds then why would the price of diamonds be so expensive.
  • williammccormick on 02 Dec 12
     
    My question is why would you want to change your grandma into a diamond? This had some things to do with what we are studying.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    This website is not very helpful unless you are looking to turn someone into a diamond.
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    I think that it is crazy that the temperature has to go up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Then the carbon turns into graphite. This process takes a few weeks. I think that it's very cool that you can turn ashes into diamonds.
  • jwshwayder on 03 Dec 12
     
    This is really interesting how cremations can turn into diamonds with very high pressure and heat but I don't think this is really relevant to our unite. If you get one you can always keep your grandma close to your heart...literally.

    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.

    Cute clam!!!!!!!!! Swims with mouth open. Why does it have stringy things coming from it
  • elevine_14 on 27 Nov 12
     
    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!)
  • The duct tape queen Mathilde wolf on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is cool how the clam eats and then spits out the "extra" and moves the oposit way of the pushing out.

    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.
  • rachelnobles on 27 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • cj5600 on 27 Nov 12
     
    I did not know that clams could swim. It is fascinating how they have developed a way to swim just by pushing water around.
  • kohlterry on 27 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • samangell on 27 Nov 12
     
    Thats interesting, i didn't realize clams could swim like that.
  • dgosh2312 on 27 Nov 12

shared by Anna Scott on 19 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • Anna Scott on 19 Mar 13
     
    This site relates geology and climate change, and how climate change is shown within geological records. It also has a part on the greenhouse effect and other changes in the atmosphere.
  • Tucker Hamilton on 20 Mar 13
     
    Evidence for climate change is preserved in a many of earths of geological settings, including water and lake sediments and particles, ice sheets from ice ages and modern times, and fossil tree rings because thicker rings mean more water that years. Rock also provides intricate and detailed information about the climate. If a certain rock like limestone is found where it is a dessert than that means that there was once an ocean there which would effect the climate. There is geological evidence that when more co2 is released into the atmosphere it tends to make the earth heat and with that water levels rise. This is evident through the said process of rock types that was described. Co2 that is absorbed into tree rings also offers evidence of this. Overall, geology offers many different scientific clues about how to tell the climate of ancient times an places. Geology can be helpful to climatologists who want to compare data and prove their point of view.
