Dinosaur extinction ( Permian- Triassic) - 17 views

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

Igneous Rock - 8 views

  •  
    The website tells about igneous rocks and how it's formed and where it's found
  • ...20 more comments...
  •  
    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 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.

Stromatolites - 10 views

  •  
    This is a website about stromatolites.
  • ...11 more comments...
  •  
    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 is a good website on stromatolites and the history behind them.
  •  
    This is a great website on stromatolites and its what we learned. Great job!

Climate Change - 1 views

  •  
    This website is created especially for kids by EPA. On the home page, you can choose to read about climate change in any one region in the US. This page gives you detailed information about each region through maps, other pictures, and text. The website states that in the northern part of the Great Planes, average winter temperatures have increased by as much as 7 degrees. It also states that as of 2085, precipitation in the northern Great Planes may increase by as much as 40% and may decrease by that much in the South (including Colorado)! Yet another upsetting fact is that water is expected to become a major problem in this region, with the water supply in the Ogallala aquifer, the Great Planes main source of water, decreasing, while the population and heat are increasing rapidly.

    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.
  • ...10 more comments...
  •  
    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 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.

Extrusive - 9 views

  •  
    This had good information but very little, it told how extrusive rocks are formed.
  • ...12 more comments...
  •  
    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.
  •  
    Great information but it is a little short.
  •  
    Igneous volcanic rock and it forms when lava from inside the earth flows out

National Geographic tectonic plates - 9 views

  •  
    This is an article about the tectonic plates that make up the crust of our planet.
  • ...29 more comments...
  •  
    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 was a very informative website about tectonic plates. It talked about where plates are found and boundaries made by these plates.
  •  
    This was a very good article about the movements of tectonic plates. One of the most interesting facts that I had learned from reading the article was that the tectonic plates make up earths outer shell called the lithosphere. There were also many different things that I didn't know about such as that if the plates keep diverging in the Great Rift Valley in Africa, millions of years from now, eastern Africa will split apart from the continent creating a new continent. the three different types of Tectonic Boundaries are called convergent, divergent, and transform.

Stromatolites - 5 views

  •  
    This is a really informative website about stromatolites. I learned a lot about stromatolites in this article.
  • ...14 more comments...
  •  
    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 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.

    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 website contained very useful information about the front range. I didn't feel it had a lot to do with are topic.
  •  
    A good rock formation sight.
  •  
    Great site, very relevant. The info on the front range was good. A little off topic though.

Giant dragonflies - 10 views

  •  
    This website is really interesting because it says that dragonflies have grown by 15%. It was interesting, but irrelivent to the unit.
  • ...12 more comments...
  •  
    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 giant dragon flies are 15 percent larger than others. This is interesting to know and read!
  •  
    The reason why dragonflies are smaller is because of a decrease in oxygen over the years since then. The deacreased oxygen makes the bugs smaller because there is less oxygen for there bodies

    Shows the definition of igneous rock and examples of them
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    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.
  •  
    I think it was a good website and very informative
  •  
    That is a good website! It helped a lot and was very informative!

More sauropods! - 2 views

  •  
    On the link I posted, scroll down for EVERYTHING Dinosaurs!
  • ...8 more comments...
  •  
    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 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.

How Cremation Diamonds Are Made - 0 views

  •  
    This shows the process of cremation diamonds are made.
  • ...10 more comments...
  •  
    I can't believe you can make a diamond out of a relative with pressure and 5,000 degrees fahrenheit.
  •  
    It truly does amaze me how this is done but if the people make one mistake, the diamond is worth nothing. You also don't get the cremations you gave in the diamond you get.
  •  
    It shows the process of ashes being turned in to dimands.
  •  
    This is a great website to see how ashes are turned into diamonds
  •  
    It's a really interesting website that has everything from how they are made to why you should make your relative into a diamond. Also the pressure to about 800,000 pounds per square inch which I thought was pretty interesting.
  •  
    They will make a diamonds out of any ash that you want.
  •  
    That's really interesting! How do they create a diamond so fast?
  •  
    Synthetic diamonds are used for industrial purposes and are not worth a lot until they are cut. It is the complexity of the cut that gives it value. Industrial diamonds are used to sharpen blades for cooking and surgery industrial diamonds are in chainsaws to make a better saw, and synthetic diamonds are used in cutting other diamonds.
  •  
    To make a diamond out of ashes, you have to heat it up to over 5,000 degrees!
  •  
    It takes a while or the diamond to be made and a lot of pressure.
  •  
    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!
