Logan's Review of Pollution collection

I think this collection does a great job of covering many aspects of pollution through very important lenses. The book Air Pollution and Environmental Equity discuss clean air and pollution in a very informative comprehensive way. Introduction to Water Pollution provides some very detailed insights into water pollution even showing off the polluted microbes under a microscope. The article Plants, Animals, and Earth Processes, Oh My! Changes to the Environment, present some short stories and a five-E Lesson plan about how animals change the world around us. The science object Resources and Human Impact: Environmental Degradation, talks about how if the human population continues to increase there is a possibility, we will reach the carrying capacity of the earth. Resources and Human Impact: Population Growth, Technology, and the Environment, this science object looks at how salmon populations have decreased due to pollution. The Journal article Talking Trash goes over how human pollution is really affecting the world around us and just how much trash we are throwing onto the earth.

Logan Gonzalez review of Gravity Defying Gravity

Starting off this collection is “Air Mass Matters: Creating a Need-to-Know”, which I found to be A great resource for outlining how a teacher can give an interesting engaging science lesson that either has an experiment or is just lecture based. Up next is “Friction and Air Resistance”, Is a very versatile book that can be used in many different ways such as a guide for a teacher, material for students, or a great assistance for assisting scientific discussions. “Landing Safely on Mars” is next, this is a really cool document that dives into the details of space travel even having the students building models of Mars Landers. “Science 101: What Is Gravity?”, is a great resource for breaking down the details of gravity in a way that anyone can understand. “STEMonstrations aboard the International Space Station”, puts your classroom directly into the space station using the context of space to demonstrate how it can affect many aspects of science and how we can use them in the classroom. “Why Is Water Sphere-Shaped in Space?”, is really cool! It is a lesson plan designed to teach why liquid becomes a sphere in space and other ways liquids are affected by gravity!
