New word

Hi Students,
Try to find the meaning of a new word I learned, anthropogenic. How does this word relate to climate change?

I Have Arrived

Hi Students,
I am finally at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Maryland. I was hoping to see some fall color, but the trees are mostly bare. Leaves are covering the ground. We went for a short walk to see the laboratories that the scientists use. I saw big bags filled with dry leaves. What do you they are trying to find out? I found this website you might be interested in looking at. It's called "A Walk in the Woods". I'm going to take some pictures tomorrow to see if you can identify what the pictures are.

Hi Students,
I have never had a blog before so I hope you will write comments to me. How do you think a forest in Maryland will be different from a forest in southern Louisiana? Can you name any trees that grow in our area? Do you think I will find the same trees in Maryland? Why or why not? Mrs. Catledge

Hello students,
I'm trying to decide what to pack for my trip to Maryland with Earthwatch. Check the weather in Baltimore, Maryland and help me decide what I need to take. Remember, I will be working outside. Mrs. Catledge
