Geology folks should check out this very interesting article that discusses the question of whether Everest really is the tallest mountain on earth. As it turns out, it just depends upon where you measure the mountain!
Geology -- We will be in the computer labs today using Google Earth to explore various characteristics of rivers. Next week, we'll be in the lab again exploring river discharge.
BRCC -- Collect those sediment samples and data points! On Tuesday, we'll sieve them and analyze their composition. We'll then plot them in a GIS and see how they compare to a geologic map of the county.
Astronomy folks ought to check out this article on how oceans on mars may have formed. It turns out that the water may have come from the ground...
We will finish the nine weeks with "Voyage to the Planets" a neat BBC production that explores what a manned mission to many locations in the solar system might entail. Next week, we'll finish the Kepler lab and then take the quiz over chapter 4. Finally, we'll be moving on to the solar system!
Have a great long weekend!
