Today was spent in our lovely portable 2 home. Although it was a day filled with lots of seat work (which compared to our daily routine is quite foreign) Mr Simms still found a way to attract our attention to day two of our Atmosphere unit. We took a trip back to the past when we reviewed how to monitor climate change. We took in depths looks at the 3 different climate classifications. It was all pretty plain and simple seeing as we had spent weeks learning how to do it in Grade 10 geography. Maybe not the most exciting day for our Geo family but for a graphing lover this was a day spent in heaven. And for those of us who just wanted to get through our work for the sake of getting it done would of found ourselfs pleasently pleased seeing as the diffuclty level wasnt too high. Anyways, half way through the day it was a refreshing break to be split into groups of 2 or 3 and discover for ourselfs how climate can really change over the years. WE WERE ABLE TO DO ALL THIS WITH JUST A DECK OF CARDS, GRAPH PAPER, AND A HIGHLIGHTER! As always Mr Simms let us really figure it out on out own. Talk about cool!
By completing this small 20 minute activity we were able to see that over the 3 years we tracked the weather the weather changes incrimates were actually quite small. This really posed the question in are head to whether the the sustaining the earth is possible now or its impossible because we have reached our tipping point. It even made some of us rethink our previous anwser to this same question on our unit test the day before. Well thats it for now, you'll be hearing from us soon as we continue on your path of learning!
P.S. Heres alittle sneak peak at tommorow... were going boxing. Check back soon to here all about it!
