Giant dragonflies

    This website is really interesting because it says that dragonflies have grown by 15%. It was interesting, but irrelivent to the unit.

    This article was very informative p, but not about the unit we are studying.
  • Ren Lubchenco on 26 Nov 12
     
    Why?
  • willcaulkins on 26 Nov 12
     
    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!
  • maxjack on 26 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • lilaarnold on 26 Nov 12
     
    The picture is so gross, but I could never imagine a dragonfly 15 times bigger!
  • rasa-hopigirl on 26 Nov 12
     
    It's very amazing that dragonflies were once very big. This was a very interesting website.
  • taylorstein12 on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is really interesting how super-size dragon flies are 15% percent larger than regular dragon flies!
  • kohlterry on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is so cool that dragon flies were so much bigger than they are now.
  • evanrumsfeld on 27 Nov 12
     
    The dragonflies of this size could not be sustained because the oxygen level lowered.
  • cj5600 on 27 Nov 12
     
    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.
  • macycummings on 27 Nov 12
     
    I wonder why they shrank or "came back" after the great dying?
  • elevine_14 on 27 Nov 12
     
    The giant dragon flies are 15 percent larger than others. This is interesting to know and read!
  • Tucker Hamilton on 27 Nov 12
     
    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

    This is a news paper article about global warming and climate change.
  • chasestreet on 04 Mar 13
     
    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.
  • isobelclara on 05 Mar 13
     
    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.
  • patrickberzins on 05 Mar 13
     
    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.
  • sophiarase on 06 Mar 13
     
    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 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 post is not just about plain old global warming, it is about why global warming is not believed. "Why Americans don't believe in global warming?" Is it only us? Are we a threat? What percentage of Americans support fixing climate change programs? YOU HAVE TO READ TO FIND OUT! It is about the Economy, Politics, and beliefs of global warming.
  • Gatlin Mark on 05 Mar 13
     
    Great discourse on the American reluctance to support climate change. There could be a bunch of factors- some political, some religious (!) or just for arguments sake!

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

  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    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.
  • jwshwayder on 03 Dec 12
     
    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.

    I can't believe you can make a diamond out of a relative with pressure and 5,000 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Ketan Mandava on 28 Nov 12
     
    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'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.

    That's really interesting! How do they create a diamond so fast?
  • Tucker Hamilton on 02 Dec 12
     
    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.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    To make a diamond out of ashes, you have to heat it up to over 5,000 degrees!
  • graceymounsey on 02 Dec 12
     
    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.
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    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!

    Good short article about Arthropleura. Arthropleura were relatives to millipedes and centipedes. The Arthropleuria's length ranged from 1-8.5 feet. It lived in what is now northeastern North America and Scotland. It was the largest known land invertebrate of all time.
  • williammccormick on 02 Dec 12
     
    This is a good source about how arthropleura were created, and how they are related to millipedes and centipedes.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    Why do most people think that arthropleura were carnivorous if millipedes and centipedes aren't?

    I wonder how those two scientists met each other. Why couldn't they just work together? Then they wouldn't destroyed such rare bones like they did. They would've been very successful if they had worked together.

    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.

    This websites provides excellent proof of the fact that global warming is real. In the last 650,000 years CO2 levels did not go over 300 ppm. However in recent times the ppm has sky rocketed to 390 ppm. I find it is also frightening that ten of the hottest years occurred in the last 12 years. Coldest records are not being reported as often as they used to be. The top 700 meters of the ocen has rose a frightening .3 degrees Fahrenheit seance 1969. The acidity of the ocean has also risen by 30%. This website backs up my ideas on climate change. I believe and so does NASA that global warming is happening now.

    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.

    This link show you that global warming does make an effect on the earth. It tells you lots of good information. I was surprised that the earth has had its hottest temperatures in the last 12 years! There has been no coldest records in a long time.
