A bit of a redesign...

I've found that trying to find time to post on three different blogs is quite difficult...

So, here's the new one!

I'm retaining the old webaddress for the geology course blog, but all three of the courses that I teach at BHS will have a home here, Geology, Geology BRCC, and Astronomy (yes, there is geology in astronomy, after all!).

Geology students -- We are wrapping up chapters 18/19 with the review tomorrow. Your homework is due on Tuesday of next week...the same day as the quiz. Be ready!

Geology BRCC -- On Monday, we will be travelling to the Charlottesville, VA office for the Division of Mines, Minerals, and Energy in order to explore their repository of well logs and other assorted geological paraphenalia that relate to the geology of Bergton, VA. Our long term goal is to explore potential problems and possibilities related to hydrofracking the Marcellus Shale in our area. Come by 7:30 and bring a lunch...or at least a wad of cash to buy some...

Astronomy -- Two major things are in the pipeline now for the next week. We will be doing a lab dealing with Kepler's Laws as well as sharing your presentations about ancient observatories next week. Due to Homecoming and computer interruptions, your quiz for chapter 4 will be postponed until November 3rd. I'm sure that you're sad about that!
