Are there people you call your friends and others you can't stand? You have grouped these people based on something you personally determined. Classification is a part of the science of taxonomy. Taxonomy is the science of grouping or organizing things. Throughout this section of Sci-ber Text, you will learn how the classification developed and how things are classified today. pdboyer Mon, 18 Apr 2011 00:30:33 GMT http://wilderdom.com/games/EnvironmentalActivities.html We are upsetting the atmosphere upon which all life depends. In the late 80s when I began to take climate change seriously, we referred to global warming as a "slowmotion catastrophe" one we expected to kick in perhaps generations later. Instead, the signs of change have accelerated alarmingly - David Suzuki Climate change should be seen as the greatest challenge to face man ~ Prince Charles Climate change and energy use are global problems ~ Rupert Murdoch Climate change affects us all, but it does not affect us all equally. The poorest and most vulnerable –those who have done the least to contribute to global warming—are bearing the brunt of the impact today" ~ Ban Ki-moon Computer game available for $9.00 pdboyer Wed, 21 Apr 2010 01:28:30 GMT http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/earth-science Glaciers; Balloons & Buoyancy; Gas Properties; Balloons and Static Electricity; Sound; The Greenhouse Effect; Wave on a String; Blackbody Spectrum; pH Scale; Wave Interference; My Solar System; Radioactive Dating Game pdboyer Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:28:42 GMT http://www.earthweek.com/ News in Science, Health, Weather, Environment and Nature pdboyer Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:54:55 GMT http://www.nwf.org/Global-Warming/School-Solutions/Eco-Schools-USA.aspx Green your school inside, outside and throughout your curriculum!
