Sunday, December 12, 2010. Talk about going out with a bang! This module was chock full of information, and I thought it was the best. For some reason I am particularly captivated by all of the information regarding glaciers, seasonal ice and permafrost. I kept finding out new interesting tidbits and calling to my husband in the other room, "Hey, did you know that . . ? I think he knows more about ice now than he really cared to know.

Driving into Anchorage every morning I see this brown haze hanging over the Cook Inlet and Fire Island area. The dust kicked up by the largest city in Alaska is really evident in the wintertime. I am also using their geology unit Tectonic Fury. To supplement my own curriculum for earthquakes, volcanoes and plate tectonics. This resource is fille...

Alaskan Knowledge: November 2010
http://akknow.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
The Alaskan Knowledge blog exists to satisfy the requirements of "Explore Alaska! Alaska Native and Western Perspectives on Earth's Systems," a class offered to Alaskan teachers through the Alaska Staff Development Network. Perhaps it will become something more. Stay tuned! I love the videos of the bush pilots, particulate studies over the arctic, surfing the air, boiling water in a vacuum chamber, and the YouTube video of the atmospheric circulation showing the Coriolis Effect so well! S, about the Depa...
