IF YOU MISSED CLASS TODAY

In class today we did the following:

 1. We started with a few CLICKER QUESTIONS to review concepts for the Final Exam-- CLICK HERE to review them

 

 2.   Dr H then gave a short lecture with some video links about Topic #8 Global Change Wrap-up & Climate Science Literacy

  Topic #8 Global Change Wrap-up & Climate Science Literacy   [ pdf ]

Links in the presentation:    Climate Literacy Network (website)
                                          America's Climate Choices  (website)
                                          The Next Frontier: Engineering the Golden Age of Green  <== (trying to get this "streamed" for you before the end of the semester)
                                          The Story of Stuff (scroll down for Glen Beck talking about his "stuff")!
                        Excellent Series of videos explaining multiple aspects of Climate Science and what's wrong with the Climate Denier claims
                                          Read the short SKIT about " CLIMATEGATE" featuring Stella Student & Lee Learner [pdf]


3.  The class then got into GROUPS for the Global Warming Debate and students voted their own view about the debate questions (YES or NO) with clickers .   YES = 81 - 83%   NO = 17

4.  Finally, as an Epilogue to the whole semester  . . . . and to fill us with optimism for the future,
we watched the closing segment of the amazingly beautiful film
