[Wade's Wicked Blog II] Soil erosion

Before the water went through the soil the soil wasn't moist or eroded. After the water went through the soil there was a ton of erosion. The soil was not even wet or moist.

Kiley's post wins the best post award for: Why did the results of the experiments change from group to group?" Congratulations! For posting the best entry, you receive a star. Ask Mr. C how you can put it on your blog.

I think that the different groups had different answers because maybe some of the groups had pored the rain on to hard,or maybe they had a really sloped runoff...so extra materials slid down the runoff and into the 50 ml. test tube or maybe there were loose materials so it made it easy for the loose materials to runoff into the test tube. Well I think that the 1st test had the most dirt,sand and humus in it because in the 2nd test the materials were wet so the materials in the 2nd test were packed in more tightly...so there was no loose soil to go into the test tube.

My Weekend

I spent most of this weekend reflecting on my teaching and how to become more involved in reflection (looking back and evaluating myself). I did some surfing to find teachers that do this on their blogs but had a hard time finding any. Mostly, I find teachers or instructional technology professionals writing about big picture ideas. I wanted to find people talking about what they do in their classroom and how it worked. I decided to ask on my Ning site Classroom 2.0. Here is the link to the discussion page. Mathew Needleman posted his site Creating Lifelong Learners and Teaching in the Inner City. Both of these teachers work in the Los Angeles area. I added both sites to my Bloglines feed.

Next I checked my Twitter page to see what was going on and I noticed Jeff Utecht writing that his classes had been canceled for tomorrow because of snow. His post was at 1:00 A.M. Central time. I was curious about where he was teaching so I did some research. He teaches in China! Here is a link to his blog The Thinking Stick. In 20 minute I traveled from Missouri to Los Angeles to Shanghai, China.

So I guess my question is: Where did you go this weekend?

Why Don't the Numbers Add Up?

The video The Case of the Mysterious Neighbor by the Missouri Botanical Garden says only one-tenth of one percent is usable water. The above graphic says three-tenths of one percent is usable. Why is there such a big difference?
