This is a really informative website about stromatolites. I learned a lot about stromatolites in this article.

Stromatolites are the oldest form of life and are composed of many different types of bacteria hardened together. This website was pretty accurate and related to the Lykins era in Denver history.

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

Website for crater rock

This isn't very helpful... More touristy.

This museum has really cool rocks and artifacts, but doesn't have much to do with our ancient Denver's unit.

I'm not sure if I thought this was that useful. Millipedes are one of many animals in that time period, it does not give much use if the information is about a modern insect.

This is a good website to use for the biology of the millipede and there's info about its history too.

Apparently, millipedes have two pairs of legs per segment

Wikipedia had useful information which will be helpful in the future, when we reach it in class.

This website is very good and definitely relates to what we are talking about in class. It talks about the Great Dying and I rethought the graph was good.

This web sight was was really helpful. I think we mostly covered all of this information in class but gives nice little details.

On the link I posted, scroll down for EVERYTHING Dinosaurs!

This was a very useful website that talked about the size of the sauropods bodies and necks, what they ate, and a lot of other cool facts about them.

Sauropods are not heavily armed, but later versions of sauropods had some form of armor which was used as protection against other predators. Sauropods were plant eaters and had a very small brain hecause their head was very small. They were herbavores and ate mostley connifers.

This shows the process of cremation diamonds are made.

This website showed how ashes can be turned into diamonds.

I think that it is crazy that the temperature has to go up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Then the carbon turns to graphite and that takes a few weeks to do I think that it is crazy that you can turn ashes into diamonds!

In a poll online done by 13,500 people in 13 countries, found that most believe believe climate change is going on. 98% believe in Mexico. 98% believe in Hong Kong. 97% believe in Indonesia. 80% believe in Belgium. 72% believe in the United States of America Rising average temperature, drought, and extremes of rainfall were the reasons most people believed in climate change. Although countries had different results about if humans were to blame for climate change. 94% believe in Hong Kong. 93% believe in Indonesia. 92% believe in Mexico. 87% believe in Germany. 78% believe in Japan. 65% believe in Great Britain. 58% believe in the United States of America. The survey was from July 5 through August 6. It was polled in Belgium, Great Britain, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States of America. In Japan global warming has been dismissed as nuclear propaganda.

This had good information but very little, it told how extrusive rocks are formed.

Great information but it is a little short.

Igneous volcanic rock and it forms when lava from inside the earth flows out

The website tells about igneous rocks and how it's formed and where it's found

I learned that hypabyssal rock forms under the surface of the Earth's crust.

Igneous rock is one of the 3 main rock types and Ignis means fire in Latin.

This is a video on the top six largest sauropods. It compares them size to size, and it also includes the supersaurus!

I wonder if the spikes on their backs were attached to their spines?

Wow that's cool.... Did the sauropods have any predators?

Good Dino site

Evan, this was a very good site to learn about brontosaurus or apatosaurus. Apatosaurus have a small head which concludes that they have a small brain, and aren't the most intelligent species that had lived during their time. They had a long tail which acted as a counterbalanced to its very long neck. It also was a tool of protection from other predatorsYet the extremely long neck had advantages for a herbavore who would be constantly attacked by hungry predators. The apatosaurus was a very tall sauropod, which was taller than the allosaurus, which was a predator of the time. The allosaurus is not tall enough to try and snap at the head of the dinosaur, and it wouldn't be smart to get near a whip like like tail such as the apatosaurus's. It had a bulky body and ate rocks to help the digestion of its food.An interesting fact that i had learned was that their nostrils were located on the top of their head, but it couldn't be used as a snorkeling device because the apatosaurus lived on land and not near many big masses of water. I had peg like teeth, which resembling ones of a lizard today, and had four legs.

This website was very useful in talking about the apatosaurus. The apatosaurus was a plant eater (herbivore). This dinosaur had a small head and walked on four legs. The apatosaurus was one of the biggest land animals.

This is a Wikipedia article about a type of sauropod called apatosaurus. (Website seen in 7-1 class...)

Wikipedia had a variety of facts which will help us in class. The information was fascinating but the website did include some details about the animal that weren't necessary.

The brontosaurus lived from about 154-150 million years ago.

This is a useful website to learn about these old creatures

Very useful website, lots of interesting facts. They are very old creatures. 98 mya.

This show the unique features of the dinosaur and is very useful.

Good site on this incredible creature

This website has lots of information on these dinosaurs! It explains a lot about how their skulls are very useful!!!

This is NASA's website about climate change. It has sidebars that you can click/tap on. You can find out the causes and affects of climate change, evidence of climate change, etc. There is also a tab where you can find other useful websites about climate change.

A lot of information about record highs and emissions in the atmosphere.

Gives good information on what sort of heat increases gain throughout the years.

This website gives the statistical facts about global warming, such as carbon dioxide facts and all time highs. This article is highly fact based, explaining statistics as well. It also speaks of the U.S. and its increased temperatures in 2011.

This website is very interesting. It shows a map and when you click on a region it explains in detail how the climate change in that region has changed.

This is about the climate change that has happened in the USA I the pasted years. This is a government website and it is amazing.

I thnk this website is really good because of the regional map. When you click on an area it shows you how much global warming has really affected it in the past years. If enough peopl in the world look at it ( randomly ), it could help us cut back on harmful products.

This website talks about how fast weather has changed throughout this year. From the hottest to the coldest temperatures.

This was a very good website because it showed us how 2012 was the hottest year for USA and this website gave us additional information about hurricanes that I never knew.

This is a website about Climate Change and how it changes over the years.
