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 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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

It is a pretty good website, well it is Wikipedia, but it explained thoroughly what a Apatosaurus was.

This is a great website(of course it is because its Wikipedia) but it has the perfect info about the apatosaurus

When we looked at the website we didn't really explore it much so it was nice to see everything on it.

This has really good information on the apatosaurus. It tells you everything you would need to know about this dinosaur.

This has very good information but I had a lot of trouble understanding it! It has a lot of fancy science words that I don't know. This could be used to learn some more science vocabulary.

Apatosaurus, is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived from about 154 to 150 million years ago, during It was one of the largest land animals known to have ever existed, with an average length of 23 m and a mass of at least 16 metric tons.

This is a very good site about causes of climate change and what is happening.

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!

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.

It was kinda good, but not really. It had good information, but it is not really what we are learning now.

Great website about igneous rocks. Information is very well written and though through.

I felt this was a good website, igneous rocks are what we are learning, and Wikipedia helps a lot.

This is a good website! I learned that the pterosaurs' size ranged to the size of a sparrow to the size of an airplane. Their ability to fly probably allowed them to evolve into many nitches.

I also found this website and found it very interesting with a graph on the front. There were signs of only seven cycles of glaciers advancing and retreating in the past 650,000 years. Many of the earths satellites can now pick up on the earths changes big or small. The sea level has risen 6.7 inches in ten years and it may double that rate if the glaciers and polar ice caps keep melting.
