Day 2, June 2, 2015

I came in at about 9:15 and went into the library and Dr. Morris was helping with the Google map and the Google earth.  The speaker talked very fast and I did not get anything out of this session.  But we will get a handout for it. After this session, we went upstairs and the speaker let us watch a video and toured the works of Tinley.  At 1:00 Dr. Morris did the Geologic Time.  We compared the Earth geological time with the pages of a book.  The Earth is billions of years old and I learn the inside of rocks at the bottom are the older rocks and at the top are the younger rocks.  Formation of the Earth and the moon is about 4,600,000,000 years old and land plants are about 420,000,000 years old.  Learning about events and when they happened helps us to learn about history.  We had to order events along a timeline and I got them wrong.  In order to convert data you have to select the box (D3) with the units you want to convert from and put it in the box you want the data to go in.  Then you write the formula for converting it (= D3/12)

 

Michael Murphy spoke to us about “The long Civil Rights Movement”.  He talked about segregation, Jim Crow laws, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B Du Bois in which he wanted civil rights for all Americans.  Duke University has put out “Behind the Veil” that is composed of several different during interviews.  Founder of the NAACP was WEB Du Bois in Canada.

 

Dr. Morris helped us with excel and latitude and longitude and she gave us blow-up globes and an atlas to keep.
