  What did you do in lab today? In lab today we, we help figure out why the Goldfinch is in danger in Iowa. We got to look at 5 articles, and learn facts in these articles about cliamte change. We also got to make a statment and ask questions. I thought this was very imformative for me as someone who lives in Iowa 9 months out of the year.  What was the main lab question? How do we know that the Goldfinch is in danger in Iowa? What did you learn in Thursday's discussion? In lecture we discussed  Online Textbook: What did you learn? One thing I learned was that melting sea ice is affecting more than just the Arctic. It is affecting our entire world. These sea ices are the air conditioning for the world, and the melting is drastically changing.  What was most helpful? One thing that was very helpful was the part of glacier retreat.

I invsitedgated with my team then north and south centeral region. This was interesting becuase there was a 98% increase for us in one of our sections which didn't seem right at first, however then we realized it depended on which cities we chose.

  What did you do in lab today? This week in lab, we got to discuss about the layers of rocks and how to tell how old the rocks are. We also got to investiagate rocks and guess which rock was made in the different ways, weather it was water, glacier, or wind. I thought this was really interesting becaues I have never gotten to do something like this.  What was the main lab question? What is climate? What is the older part of a rock structure? What did you learn in Thursday's discussion? In lecture this week, we got to discuss gold and how people learned about gold. Gold is the heaviest thing so it would sink to the bottom of the water. It was also interestign guessign whever the soda would sink or float.  Online Textbook: What did you learn? Something that I learned was that the tempature of the ocean can affect the tempature of the the air that passes over it.
