What Have I learned?

In my research, I started out by trying to learn about how schools teach climate. I started off by searching about general info on schools and climate education. My research led me to Climate Access.org. This website told me info about how schools are teaching about climate change into days weather. It explained how the US is the leading country for climate research. I also wanted to learn about how teaching climate is challenging. This led me to the NPR website where I read an article about why science teachers are having trouble teaching about climate change. It talked about how most teachers are teaching the wrong stuff about climate. 

For the rest of the research process, I hope to learn more about what teachers are teaching. According to a ThinkProgress article teachers are teaching that climate change is mainly caused by natural causes. However, teachers aren't teaching kids that 97% of climate researchers agree that climate change is caused by humans. This could be caused by the question, Why should we care. I hope to learn more about this in future research. 

Climate Research

I would like to learn about the history and sociology of climate because it would give me a better understanding of climate rather than just weather. Also what climate does to a society as a whole and the people within one.

Climate

1. Weather 
2. Tropical 
3. Rain 
4. Clouds
5. Hot

I picked these words because when I hear the word climate I think of different kinds of weather for different weather.

Question -  What climates are associated with certain regions?

 According to this article, what was wrong with President Hoover's response?  Why did people blame themselves when things went wrong, and how valid or invalid was this response? 

Answer - President Hoover underestimated the seriousness of the crisis and believed that it would pass in 60 days. He then created the New Deal program which gave relief to those he need it. 

How would you have felt if you'd been there on that day? What kinds of fears, concerns, or questions would be going through your mind during, and after, the event described? 

Answer - If I was there, I would have thought that the world was ending. Seeing a black cloud that looks like it goes from the ground to the sky and was completely dark I would definitely think I was about to die. 

What areas were affected by it?  What caused it.  The author ends this article with a pithy quote.  Do you agree or disagree with this historian's perspective? Why or why not? 

Answer - The Drought first hit the eastern part of the country in 1930 and by 1931 it started to move west. Yes, because Americans where not using the environment they were given properly. 

Were does the migration of people out of the Dust Bowl rank in terms of other migrations in US History?  What made life hard for people once they arrived in California? 

Answer - The migration after the dust bowl was the largest in American History. The farms in the west were modernized and corporately owned and most of the migrants worked in the fields picking cotton and grapes making up $1.25.

Speech questions

1) I think the speeches as a whole where good and everyone mentioned a little of everything.
2) I think Carson's stare down was good, but both Ward and Madi's speeches were well presented and easy to understand.
3) One thing that I learned was just to try and be more comfortable and speak slower and clearer. Also on the speech itself, space it out more to make it easier to read.
