Class Extras

For a deeper dive into any of the topics we bring up in class

Here you will find articles, videos, and simulations that might show up in class, or are related to class. Reading/watching can help you make connections when in class, and make the material more meaningful to you.

These "extras" will be posted here from time to time. This may include resources and worksheets. These can be used as supplementary work for students who need extra help.

Some of these are resources collected by students, so please email if you find a good online resource related to class! aburgun-tower@arlington.k12.ma.us

IF this theory ^ is correct, what evidence should we be able to find? Could we predict where/when we might find certain fossils? Or the average temperature in a certain era, based on ice samples?
