Kylie Hamers- Science methods

 What did you do in the lab? In the lab, we created presentations about ag life, precipitation, and temperature. I learned that the rising temperatures in Earth's atmosphere are directly related to the intensity and frequency of Earth events. The rising temperatures are causing higher humidity, and higher humidity means it can hold more heat, which is accumulating more energy.  What did you learn in Thursday’s discussion?  In Thursday's discussion, I learned that 97% of scientists agree that global warming is real, but only 45% of the public thinks it's real, so then this relates to politics- where they control the rules and regulations about climate change and the resources we use. What did you learn?    I learned that the change in hardiness zones indicates climate change in Iowa because plants and animals are changing to adapt and survive                                  ...

 What are the primary points in the video?  -Powerful people and lawmakers do not believe climate change is real, and are not slowing down productions that influence climate change. Burning fossil fuels and drilling in the Arctic are causing glaciers to melt, Miami to flood, and droughts to occur.  What are the major issues? -Burning fossil fuels vs. alternative options, but alternative options are expensive -Meat and oil for cooking have huge impacts on releasing CO2 into the atmosphere  -The Positive feedback loop between rising temperatures and causing glaciers to melt, which is causing temperatures to rise even more What questions do you want us to teach you?   -We don't ever learn how to prevent climate change on the local level How would you like us to teach you? -No preference  What did you do in the lab today? Today in the lab, we calculated the average rainfall in the Northern Central region of Iowa. We calculated the average. rainfall from 1900-19...

  What did you do in the lab? In the lab, we learned about the water cycle. We created a map of the water cycle. We included condensation, precipitation, evaporation, and other things in between. One thing we forgot was sublimation, where it goes straight from a gas to a solid, no liquid stage.  What was the big question? Weather is what is happening NOW What did you learn in Thursday's discussion?  We took our exam Textbook:  What did you learn? I learned that the process of desublimation, where water vapor converts straight to a solid form, results in snow. The opposite of this is sublimation, which is the same process as dry ice. What was most helpful? I liked the videos in the textbook because they were at an elementary level, so it was easier for me to conceptualize the phenomena  What do you need more information on? N/A What questions, concerns, and/or comments do you have?
