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!

I found this article, informative about the tectonic plates.

Very informative I did not know that much about tectonic plates, great find.

Some of the major tectonic plates are the North American, African, and Antarctic plates. There are only a few major tectonic plates. There are three different boundaries that are formed when the plates move.

Very informative and interesting. I now know a lot more about tectonic plates.

This is really interesting to know. I like how it explaines and shows were tectonic plates are

Gives some good information on how tectonic plates change the world's surface.

I never knew that the plates that form the earth's surface is called the lithosphere. That's cool.

It's very informative and tells how the tectonic plates affect the Earth's surface.

Gives a lot of good info and very interesting.

It is cool how Mount Everest could be taller tomorrow than today. Good information

This article explains how the earth is effected by the tectonic plates.

Very good information Sam. It is very interesting that Mount Everest gets a tiny bit taller every day. The tectonic plates changes the world surface.

This website explains the tectonicplates very well and gives you a better understanding of the earth.

That is very informative! It explains the earth in a better and more interesting way. I learned a lot more about the earth along with some very interesting facts.

This is very informative. The tectonic plates are moving right under our feet! This website tells you how mountains are formed and how the earth moves.

This is very cool information and there are 6 major plates named for each of the continents they are under

The information about the tectonic plates was informative and helped me understand how the 6 plates of the world can create earthquakes and mountains.

The information is cool because I learned there are 6 major plates named for each continent.

This is about the tectonic plates that shaped our planet. P.S. i like how it is not Wikipedia.

This is a very informative and descriptive website good job!

This is a really cool website. It explains how tectonic plates move and change in detail.

This is interesting. It's cool that these plates move around so much. Will the earth become Pangea again one day?

I really liked this website! I cannot believe that there are also smaller tectonic plates, other than the big ones. I never knew that.

The Juan de facu plate is responsible for the volcanoes in the northwest pacific of the United States

I discovered that the plates make up the Earth's outer shell which is called the lithosphere.

Its cool that the 6 major plates are named after 6 continents.

This is a very good article about plate tectonics. It is a good recourse, and reflects the video we watched in class.

Most geologic activity occurs at the edge of the plates.

This is a detailed article about tectonic plates. I recommend this website because it relates directly to what we were talking about in class.

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.

I think this is creepy. But kind of important to what we are doing

It's website showed you how to turn ashes into diamonds and jewelry. Very wierd

This is really, really weird and disturbing but it has to do with creating rocks.

That's a weird subject

This is really weird and awkward

This is disgusting and weird

Had nothing to do with unit

This seems rather disturbing. It is an interesting idea though.

This is cool and talks about the rock cycle but does not relate to ancient Denvers.

That's just messed up

At first I was confused but, then I read keep your dead ones close and that was wierd.

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?

Amazing! I would love to see the process of that!

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

This is irrelevant to our unit, but very interesting and disturbing.

I would like to see the process in the making to see what they do.

That's kind of dark and creepy and shows what some businesses actually sell.

That is really weird, but I guess it makes sense if people don't want to keep their loved ones in a box.

That is freaky to turn someone into a diamond

That's really cool that someone can become a diamond! A little creepy though...

Creepy to turn a family member in to jewelry

It is cool how they make them. But very strange to turn someone into a diamond

very cool website not to much information though

It is interesting how they can make ashes into diamonds! I wonder who thought of this idea.

This is amazing that something like this could happen with heat and pressure. There is not enough information.

Well now I know how to make dead people into a diamond

This does not give very much info and is irrelevant

It is so cool that you can turn ashes into diamonds.

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.

If we can now change ash into diamonds then why would the price of diamonds be so expensive.

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.

This website is not very helpful unless you are looking to turn someone into a diamond.

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.

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.

Watch the first 6-9 mind the last 5 min to see what it would look like

If you want to watch the fight between titanaboa and a gigantic crocodile watch 38-41 and 46-50

That video was soon mind blowing, I love the part where the snake squeezed the crocodile to death to protect its self. I would love to see animals that large! Very informative, has to do with ancient Denver's animals.

the webcite was cramed. but the videos were quite helpful.

I loved this video!!! I watched the whole thing and it was very interesting!

This is a very interesting episode with good information about large snakes, but it is very dramatic. A standard science video,would have been more informative.

That was creepy....

I really thought this video was interesting! I was fascinated when the snake squeezed and killed the crocodile. It's kind of scary to think that there were snakes this big MYA!

It lived at around 50-60 maya. In South America

The fight between the croc and the snake is pretty interesting

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 the one we watched in science, and it is very helpful, it is exactly what we are learning.

I liked this website and it was very helpful, but it is flooded with information so it was hard to pick out the important information.

I agree with Isabel. This was a good video, but it was hard for me to pick out the important things that I actually needed, was too detailed.

This is a very helpful assignment and its what we are learning

I really liked this because during the video it was hard to catch everything that I needed to write down so watching it again helped a lot

It's sad that they destroyed so many bones in this process.

I thought this was a very interesting video! It is very sad how many bones were demolished because of jealousy and robbery.

Cope and Shay's bitter feud caused lots of valuable bones to be destroyed and ended with them losing their credibility and money.

This video was very interesting and gave good information about the bone wars history.

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.

This article was very informative p, but not about the unit we are studying.

Why?

Cool, but has nothing to do with what we are studying

This website was really sad, I want giant dragonflies. It was really informative and a brain popper!

I think it's amazing that the giant dragonfly's wingspan is around two and a half feet. I wonder how large a giant tarantula would be.

The picture is so gross, but I could never imagine a dragonfly 15 times bigger!

It's very amazing that dragonflies were once very big. This was a very interesting website.

It is really interesting how super-size dragon flies are 15% percent larger than regular dragon flies!

It is so cool that dragon flies were so much bigger than they are now.

The dragonflies of this size could not be sustained because the oxygen level lowered.

I see why the dragonflies could have grown faster because of the oxygen level. There was more oxygen then. With less oxygen, they could not have grown very fast and would run out of breath.

I wonder why they shrank or "came back" after the great dying?

The map is really helpful cause it shows where what igneous rocks are. It's a website that will help our research about this unit.

This is very helpful and a great website

This is about the types of igneous rocks and how they are formed. Good website!

I did not know that igneous comes from a Greek word meaning fire! I also did not know that there are over 700 types of igneous rocks. Very helpful, thank you Jolie

This was really helpful!! Ignis=fire, that is a new rule to remember things!

This a very helpful website. It tells you about the meaning of the word, the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks, and tells you how igneous rocks are formed.

There are three types of rock types and igneous rock is one of them. There are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Most of igneous rocks are formed under Earth's crust.

Good information on Denver's geology and the same pictures as in the accident Denver books

This has great information about igneous rocks, which is one of the three types of rocks. It gives great information about extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.

This tells you a lot about igneous rocks and the other two types of rock.

This website is very informational and explains igneous rocks very well.

I really like that map it is very interesting.

This is more informative about igneous rocks than articles just about extrusive rocks

Hypabyssal rock form under the surface

This website is very useful and helpful to learn more about igneous and extrusive rocks.

Is the glass in ash obsidian.

The map helped me a lot!!!

The map was really useful and I didn't know that igneous came from a Latin word meaning fire.

This was very helpful. It was very informative about how the igneous rocks formed.

Igneous and metamorphic rocks make up 90-95% of the top 16 km of the Earth's crust by volume

That informed me so much more about diamonds!!! I didn't know half of the thing that I know now! That was very interesting.

It is very interesting how diamond are unbreakable and can only be cut by other diamonds.

It was very interesting but really confusing...

Diamonds are usually yellow, brown, or colorless. I thought they were just clear.

I thought the video was very helpful for what we are learning. It was short and sweet. I liked it alot.

This video explains an alternate theory to the Pangea theory. This website was very interesting because it showed how the continents might have came together.

it is a good video and gives good imformation about the tectonic plates

It was a very informative video because it showed the structure of the continents when they where considered a large Pangea.

This video is very helpful and shows the continents when they were Pangea

This video is very helpful and informative

This video was very informative

Really long, but informative. If your up for learning about tectonics plates etc. , than go to his @youtube!

This video is someones own opinion about how the earth got bigger.

This is very informative and tells a lot. These tectonic plates are moving right under our feet.

This website describes the Pangea theory. And the how the tectonic plates are moving.

This video was really useful about the Pangea theory. It showed how tectonic plates move and form earthquakes.

I liked this video because it shows how tectonic plates move and form earthquakes.

This video showed the Pangea theory and how the tectonic plates formed it.

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.

This is great because it gets right to the point and is very easy to understand. I also like in the beginning how it said that sauropod means lizard footed.

This website is descriptive and interesting and exactly what we are learning about

I thought it was interesting that sauropods adapted to have body armor. This is a very good resource.

It used to be thought that the sauropods had a second brain at the base of the tail. Paleontologists now realize that what they thought was a second brain was perhaps an enlargement in the spinal cord in the hip area (although this is not universally accepted), containing nerves and fatty tissue. This enlargement was larger than the animal's tiny brain and may have controlled the animal's hind legs and tail.

I thought that this was an excellent resource. The information was organized in a clear way. This is a website we should look at in class.

This is a very resourceful website. It showed what they ate, what they looked like, species of sauropods and many other interesting facts!

I thought this was a really good website. It talked about many dinosaurs, there size, climate, and diet.

It was very interesting how the sauropods have a tiny head therefore brain and are only plant eaters. The sauropods are very huge!

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
