Methods II- Week 10
 |
| Torch & Starbursts (for experiment) |
 |
| Melted Starbursts (to show rocks) |
1.) The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.
We talked a lot on "Is it a rock?" And with this we later made types of rocks by melting starbursts and putting them together. (We also went over exam scores, and the talked about the curve a little bit)
2.) A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.
We talked and aswered a lot of the questions below in class.
- What causes earthquakes to have different levels of power?
- Will there ever be a big enough Earthquake that it shakes the whole world?
- What happens underwater as earthquakes happen?
- Could an earthquake really cause the world to fall in on itself like some movies so ambitiously depict?
- Do earthquakes occur in predictable areas? Why do some happen in areas that are off the normal pathway?
- Do earthquakes get more frequent with the rise of global warming?
3.) Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:
1.) What did you learn?
I read about the types of rocks, what makes them rocks, and how they get to be the way they are.
(The key processes in the rock cycle are heat & pressure and weathering & erosion. Each type of rock can undergo different changes that affect its form and the type of rock it is.)
2.) What was most helpful?
I liked having the diagrams like always to help me learn and understand the information a little bit better, but I also liked the video on Archimedes’ Principle. I found it to be pretty neat.
3.) What do you need more information on?
