This website describes what kind of research NCAR is doing and what they have been finding on the issue of climate change. It goes into detail about what the climate was like in the past, the climate in the future, and what the causes of climate change really is. The climate has been changing ever since the Earth began, even before humans, but modern weather measurements only go back to 100-150 years ago. We don't know what the climate of the Earth really was in the prehistoric times. The Earth is getting warmer. According to tests, the Earth's surface temperature has risen more than 1.33 degrees fahrenheit since the late 1800s. There is more about what is causing the climate to change and what the climate will look like in the future.

Cute clam

strange but interesting

This is utterly useless to what we are studying. This shows how a clam swims, and we are learning about geology.

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?

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.

The website shows how you can take ashes and make them into diamonds and jewelry

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.

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.

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.

An unconformity is when there is a missing layer in the rocks

Its a good site that goes through a lot of different rock layers.

The oldest rocks in Colorado are 1.7-1.8 billion years old.

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.

This is a website about stromatolites.

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!

What we watched in science class on Thursday

This video had good information about the bone wars, or the first dinosaur bones being stolen, and destroyed by two greedy men.

This video was useful, because I found out that if they had not broken those bones we would have more evidence of the previous monsters.

This site explains what climate change is and what it does under each individual atmosphere layer including the ozone. The site gives useful information about how climate change effects the planet. I would recommend checking out this site because it gives basic but relatable information to what we have learned in class.

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.

Shows the definition of igneous rock and examples of them

I think it was a good website and very informative

That is a good website! It helped a lot and was very informative!

Dinos in Morrison

Interesting site on the Morrison formation.

How many Dinosaurs were found there

This is a YouTube video on how coal is made. It also explains the contents that make up the coal, the different textures and what their names are, also what happens when it is burned. If you want to know more about the assets of coal, watch this video for sure.

Not edu or gov but useful it basically tells what drip tips are and what they do.

This picture explains over what states it was over and what seas and other waterways it was connected to

This is an awesome site it gives great information about the Colorado mineral mines basically what it is and what it is made out of.

This show what the oldest dinosaur is and what it looked like.
