Google Earth

This is kinda awesome. I could look at the different cities of the Earth. Back to the assignment. What I noticed around Hawaii is kind of an island surrounded by volacanoes and few wavy lines but there are what looked like underwater landforms. In the East Coast near the Atlantic there like a lot more of these [lines] and more of these rocky landforms. From what I'm thinking right now I think it is a bunch of underwater mountains. Another thing I noticed is that near these things it is dark blue which means it is very deep. That line in the Red Sea I think it is a trench. I read this in a science fiction book. But maybe it is real. Who knows? But is must be deep for it is dark, But the water around it seems lighter. The area near Alaska seems a light color.But no "mountains" near or in the water. Maybe its me but I've noticed that the Atlantic Ocean looks a bit darker than the Pacific Ocean. Maybe the Atlantic is more deeper than the Pacific. I think that this idea could be true.

Tray Investigation

1. What I noticed what I can do to improve on future presentations is to try not to rock back and forth. I didn't even notice that I was actually like rocking back and forth and kind of pacing. Also that there was way too many laughs as our fault and i can see what Mr. Kruse meant by taking the presentation seriously. And practice lots . What I would practice on is the part I would just present not all of it because its a group thing right?
2. The next time we give a presentation I hope that I am prepared to present because we didn't even finish because we were to busy improving the the PowerPoint which I strongly believe was a waste of time.I would also try hard not to giggle while doing a presentation because that encourages like the other people to start laughing and then you screw up.
3. We would practice and stop the laziness in the group. Some of the people didn't want to do their fair share of the work. And we would just share up the work and just practice our corresponding part.

What New Insights Have We Gained About Technology Issues

We have gained insights that the technology is not always easy. Like even using the marble. It got stuck. And sometimes to ruin our notes we had to take it out and start all over. And other times it came out the way we weren't expecting it to. Other times it went the way we wanted it to. The questions we had was what is under the piece of cardboard box.

Technology

Why does technology helps us in silent ways. We often use ut without thinking about it. Like plumbing. We have running water. Before we had to haul our own water. Like the rulers. We used to measure our things using our feet.Some people used it the ruler to stick it under the box.

Global Warming

We all know that global warming is happening or is about to happen. Here are some thing that I believe are making this process move even faster. The use of everyday machinery like cars and factories are releasing carbon dioxide. And other everyday things like the waste of energy like leaving your TV or lights on in your home that release greenhouse gases. We should be concerned about this is that couple of reasons that could end with the human race. There are glaciers melting, which make sea levels rise and more coastal flooding to happen, Arctic and Antarctic heating which could kill the animal that live there. There has been a lot of unusually warm weather and spring has come earlier than usual. For us it is bad because there is more disease spreading population is shifting. One of the world's natural wonders is bleaching. that are coral reefs. And now there are lots of fires and droughts.
The actions we can take as human beings is to stop wasting electricity when you aren't using it. Don't use you car if the store is only a block away. Walk when the weather is nice. We can also come up with things that stop global warming like buying solar panels or using wind or water generate electricity. Or build and design cars that don't use fossil fuels. They are almost gone and when they are wasted it will take another million or billion years for fossil fuels to come back. But we could be long gone extinct.
Then it will maybe another evolution. With more smarter peoplewho can do the same things we did with out the mistakes
