16:00:31	 From  Angela Hollida : went to quickly
16:00:41	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : ok
16:02:35	 From  Carolyn Hizer : I am interested in the trip!
16:02:42	 From  Melinda Carpenter : i wanna go
16:02:59	 From  Andrea Carr : OMG Im interested!
16:03:13	 From  Peggy : please take tons of pictures and share!!
16:04:37	 From  Adam Hamrick : Super viscous
16:04:52	 From  Adam Hamrick : they have pretty good videos
16:05:21	 From  Adam Hamrick : I would think hypothesis, becaue he couldn't explain the process
16:05:34	 From  Adam Hamrick : or cause
16:09:35	 From  Adam Hamrick : Does the Sun have more than 2 poles in it's history?
16:12:34	 From  Adam Hamrick : Can you read my comments?
16:12:45	 From  Peggy : You are invisible, Adam.
16:14:59	 From  Peggy : very fuzzy
16:16:24	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : AGI will send you a packet with Earth Week paper copies if you register with them.  They send me a toolkit each year for free.
16:17:43	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : They also send me a paper calendar with activities and dates on it.
16:18:54	 From  Adam Hamrick : I'll be using this I believe, thanks for sharing
16:19:07	 From  Peggy : Looks good!
16:24:23	 From  James Johnson : Would this help? (Literally just googled it. You might have already found it) http://www.mhhe.com/Enviro-Sci/CaseStudyLibrary/
16:25:50	 From  ESS Passport : POGL?
16:26:56	 From  ESS Passport : Earth Exploration Tool Book  SERC
16:30:03	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : My special ed co-teacher and I modified a plate tectonics lab using Phet to be our first semester exam.
16:32:19	 From  Adam Hamrick : That's really neat, I like digital models, because they don't have to be static
16:32:49	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : What class and grade level do you do this with?
16:33:34	 From  KLOSE : Can you share the PHET Plate Tectonics assessment?
16:34:33	 From  Melaine Hall : I like this, I forgot about it.  Thanks for th ereminder.
16:38:29	 From  Jessie Butcher : I love Phet.  I use several different activities from Phet throughtout the year with both the 8th and 7th grade.
16:38:34	 From  Angela Hollida : Thanks for sharing Josh! 
16:38:48	 From  Peggy : Josh is amazing
16:40:08	 From  Kim clark : Daniel, there's a site that has some PBL's ete.cer.
16:40:43	 From  Kim clark : sorry!   ete.cet.edu.
16:42:42	 From  Peggy : My sister actually had a student walk out of the classroom when she brought up Darwin.
16:43:22	 From  James Johnson : http://www.sciencechannel.com/games-and-interactives/charles-darwin-game/
16:43:46	 From  Adam Hamrick : I try to get my students to understand that evolution is not the origin of life, only the change of life
16:43:58	 From  Lorrie Mottesheard : I have the NSTA book-The Evolution Tool Kit--I'll look through it and see if I can find something~
16:44:15	 From  RCOOPER : use the words change over time instead of evolution
16:44:15	 From  Jessie Butcher : Davita and I have talked about how cell phones "evolved" over the years, using pictures and examples, before we introduced the sticky subjects.  
16:44:42	 From  Lorrie Mottesheard : I use the word adaptation more--
16:44:44	 From  Melinda Carpenter : Nope
16:44:56	 From  RCOOPER : yeah me too!
16:44:59	 From  Melinda Carpenter : i just always say the disclaimer
16:45:10	 From  Adam Hamrick : I introduce it without using the word "Darwin" or "evolution" to see if the studnets agree with the process, then introduce the terms
16:45:29	 From  Melinda Carpenter : Im mandated to teach this according to WV Content standards.  
16:45:47	 From  Peggy : yes---what Melinda says!
16:45:50	 From  pulsar astronomer : We NEED to teach it!
16:45:56	 From  Lorrie Mottesheard : I had a couple of challenges but most were silently glad to talk about the forbidden subject~
16:46:27	 From  Melinda Carpenter : "Learn it for the test and then forget it, if you dont believe in it"
16:47:28	 From  Peggy : High school students usually are trying to rebel their parents, so...they are more open to hearing new subjects.  This isn't always a good idea (think drugs, etc.), but it helps them to consider evolution, etc.
16:47:33	 From  Melinda Carpenter : oh yeah! Project WILD
16:47:48	 From  AHevener : love Project Wild!!!
16:47:49	 From  pulsar astronomer : Good Point Peggy
16:48:03	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : Some students are familiar on how micro organisms such as viruses evolve over time, especially how some are now no longer affected by antibiotics any more.
16:48:13	 From  Andrea Carr : I tell them that most CHristians now accept evolution and many scientists are religious
16:48:54	 From  Adam Hamrick : Does anyone know the basis or fundimental belief that these students have that disagrees with evolution/adaptation?
16:49:43	 From  Adam Hamrick : I got that, too
16:49:58	 From  Kim clark : me too
16:50:32	 From  Melinda Carpenter : Green Bank 4 LIFE!!
16:50:39	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : I got a "geology" great courses on DVD as a Christmas present.
16:50:46	 From  Andrea Carr : Can we visit and scare them?
16:50:57	 From  pulsar astronomer : neat Bety
16:50:58	 From  Peggy : lol @ Andrea!
16:51:00	 From  pulsar astronomer : Betty
16:51:01	 From  Andrea Carr : or haze them
16:51:42	 From  Melinda Carpenter : I think we need a field trip to have all of us get together to watch "Hidden Figures"
16:51:56	 From  Tamara Westfall : Yeah!!
16:51:58	 From  Andrea Carr : I want to see it Melinda. Ill go with you!
16:52:04	 From  pulsar astronomer : Sounds good! 
16:52:21	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : Our science dept. is going to see "Hidden Figures".
16:52:31	 From  Melaine Hall : I'm trying to get a field trip with the Social Studies teacher and my students to see it.
16:52:32	 From  Josh Revels : LOL
16:53:00	 From  Melinda Carpenter : BYE
16:53:03	 From  Andrea Carr : Bye!!!
16:53:04	 From  Angela Hollida : see you all in feburar 
16:53:05	 From  elizabeth.wasiluk : Bye!
