Around 1250 A.D.‚ historical records show‚ ice packs began showing up farther south in the North Atlantic. Glaciers also began expanding on Greenland‚ soon to threaten Norse settlements on the island. From 1275 to 1300 A.D.‚ glaciers began expanding more broadly‚ according to radiocarbon dating of plants killed by the glacier growth. The period known today as the Little Ice Age was just starting to poke through. Summers began cooling in Northern Europe after 1300 A.D.‚ negatively impacting growing

Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system. Because Saturn is bigger than Earth‚ you would weigh more on Saturn. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth you would weigh 112 on Saturn. The Romans gave the planet Saturn its name after their god of agriculture. Saturn is 74‚899 miles wide (120‚535 kilometers wide). It takes Saturn ten hours and forty minutes to complete one single rotation‚ isn ’t that cool! One day on Saturn is only ten hours long‚ ours is twenty-four hours long. Thirty years

been studying the solar system. The learning objective for the students was “I can discuss/apply/evaluate the sun‚ planets and other bodies in our solar system”. My assessment of mastery was done in several forms: class discussion in the form of a jeopardy game‚ student creation of a “postcard” from their favorite planet where they had to write home to a loved one on Earth telling about the characteristics of the selected planet and the creation of a candy model of the solar system.

focusing on solar and wind power. Solar power is simply the conversion of energy from the sun into usable energy. Solar energy can be harvested in two ways: indirectly by using the heat of the sun and directly by utilizing its energy to turn it into electricity. What makes solar power so popular is the fact that it can be used anywhere that has sunlight. Solar power can be collected in 3 different ways: solar heat collectors‚ solar thermal concentrating systems‚ and photovoltaics. Solar heat collectors

a significant promise to help reduce the amount of toxins that are by-product of too much energy use and bring a positive impact on our planet that we currently use as our source of energy.These include energy from water(Hydropower)‚ wind‚ the sun(solar power)‚ geothermal sources‚ and biomass fuel. In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable energy in the US is Hydropower.

Climate change is caused by factors such as oceanic process (e.g. oceanic circulation) ‚ biotic processes ‚ variation in solar radiation ‚ volcanic eruption ‚ plate tectonic and human activities.
