The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did.
In lab, we did some work with greenhouse gasses and how they affect our climate. We did two different simulations that included clouds, different time periods, and humans. We did some work with infrared light and how it becomes infrared.
A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture.
In lecture on Thursday Ted came back! He was able to talk to us about how climate change affects us in our daily lives. We talked about potential changes we could make to help reduce the climate change. One of these changes was installing solar panels instead of using traditional electricity and gas. This is a smart switch because it's cheaper for the consumer in the long run and better for the environment. Another change would be switching to an electric vehicle or a partially electric vehicle. We looked forward to next week and our last classes.
Answer questions about the weekly textbook reading:
What did you learn? I learned more about fossil fuels and how they create greenhouse gasses in excess. The excess greenhouse gasses cause the global temperature to rise which is leading to climate change.
What was most helpful? I liked the "Earth has a fever" video and I thought it was a creative video to explain climate change and this situation.
What do you need more information on? I would like more information on how humans came to rely on fossil fuels.
What questions/concerns/comments do you have? If there are alternatives that are better for the Earth that don't affect corporations monetarily, then why are they not encouraged?
