Tonight's topic is both timely and urgent in the eyes of many. Let's focus on some forward thinking & how to communicate to our Ss #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:07 PM EST

Here's Q1 of 8 questions tonight. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

Welcome Natalie! #scitlap

In reply to @NDuch061

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

In science 7, we're learning about alternative agriculture methods that use less water. That technology will be useful for many. #scitlap

karlacalbear Dec 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: water scarcity is already an issue here. We really think about every drop we use. Karla 7th Grade, CA's San Joaquin Valley. #scitlap

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Where I live, our weather is getting more extreme in summer and winter. -40C to +40C. It affects your everyday life... (1/2) #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:13 PM EST

California Drought is the real-world problem we are addressing :). 5 years is a long time! #scitlap

Lori, here in Atl! Jumping in via phone since laptop acting snarky! #scitlap

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

#scitlap Helps if I get the hashtag right.

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 I think living with flooding. Here in Albany area we are at just above sea lvl as is much of the district where I teach. #scitap

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: ... (2/2) we are losing fall and spring. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1) coastal areas most directly and initially most obvious #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:16 PM EST

Here comes Q2! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Something that may not be obvious but would likely notice is a sharp increase in the cost and availability of certain goods. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Also population booms inland away from flooded coastlines. Are our cities prepared for such a challenge? #scitlap

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 If they are unforeseen how am I to know if they will arise? I think diseases that were once rare. Which ones? We could guess. #scitlap

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:21 PM EST

I was thinking similarly. Produce prices are already suffering big fluctuations. People might have to change dietary pref due to $ #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Something that may not be obvious but would likely notice is a sharp increase in the cost and availability of certain goods. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:21 PM EST

the rise of disease is an excellent example! #scitlap

Hobson_k Dec 14 @ 9:22 PM EST

A1. Living in Sydney - yesterday we had 39*C (102.2*F) and today it's lucky to reach 20*C (68*F)... crazy!! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

Will this force more people to grow their own food? An explosion of small, local farms/gardens? #scitlap

In reply to @NDuch061

karlacalbear Dec 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2 not really unforeseen but makes us who luv Science anxious: gov't not supporting climate change education & more damage. #scitlap

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: I would guess an increase in conflict focused on natural resource scarcity: arable land, fresh water, etc. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:24 PM EST

I've heard it said that WW3 would be fought over fresh water. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. #scitlap

Has anyone seen 'Earth 2100'? It is a great fictional documentary looking at how the world may be in 2100 - https://t.co/WomL3Mb9si #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2) are we just going to keep re-nourishing the beaches?what abt winter sites like ski resort towns? #scitlap

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:24 PM EST

Many have argued that this is already happening. Syria is an example. Thinking ahead is a bit scary. #scitlap

In reply to @NDuch061

Hobson_k Dec 14 @ 9:24 PM EST

Earth 2100 looks at outbreaks of disease, plagues of insects, changes to shorelines, natural disasters etc #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:26 PM EST

Here's Q3 for #scitlap. This one looks at the innovations that come from green energy and technology.

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:26 PM EST

I think that movement has already started, unsure how CC will change it. Maybe an increase in heirloom veg? #scitlap

In reply to @Mr_Canterbury

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:26 PM EST

Would love to know if it is on Netflix... #scitlap

In reply to @Hobson_k

karlacalbear Dec 14 @ 9:27 PM EST

A2 temp&energy rates could split Sch hours morn & eve, or reduced days in a wk. Here we have wicked fog & 5 levels of bad air days #scitlap

sbosch_spps Dec 14 @ 9:27 PM EST

#scitlap Sorry I'm missing tonight at a science play date.

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:28 PM EST

Have a great time, Sarah! #scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3 Perhaps groundbreaking in other countries. Probably not in U.S.A. #scitlap

Hobson_k Dec 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

the YouTube link I posted has the whole thing (I'm fairly certain!) #scitlap

In reply to @Mr_Canterbury

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:29 PM EST

I feel like everything with Musk's name is groundbreaking... #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: the amount of greenhouse gas reduction alone is worth seeing the dream come true - not sure where would be the best fit, though #scitlap

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: I think on it's own probably not, but may snowball with other tech to change transpo. #scitlap

His ideas on Mars travel are as exciting as Wernher von Braun's from decades ago! #scitlap

In reply to @SciTeach7Davis

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:32 PM EST

Here at the half way point - Q4 addresses the innovations of green energy at home. #scitlap

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:33 PM EST

The US does not have PTC (positive train control) to prevent crashes. The tech has been around for decades. #scitlap

In reply to @NDuch061

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: Earthships are neat exemplars of green innovation. Not mainstream enough to catch on right now. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:34 PM EST

Very true - they are not without their challenges. #scitlap

#scitlap My new pirate friend wants to merge outdoor learning and #makerspace. I said the pirates will know! @jpkidsco_plsas

karlacalbear Dec 14 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4 interesting models 2 use in class. @AmplifyScience unit studies a failed biosphere. Ss solve reading jrnls & running sims. #scitlap

A4 Just looked up Earthships b/c I was clueless. Really cool idea! Love learning new things. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:38 PM EST

I'm so glad! They were new to me too last year! Loved them so much I created a year-end project about them! #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

Hobson_k Dec 14 @ 9:39 PM EST

the basic gist- it follows Lucy's story & the changes that she witnesses as the Earth changes as a result of our actions #scitlap

Can't wait to ask Ss tomorrow what they know about it! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:43 PM EST

Q5 asks us to think critically about newly emerging green energy sources #scitlap

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5: I LOVE biomass energy! #scitlap

daleyscience - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:46 PM EST

We were thinking of an outdoor classroom supply area by the door. Clipboards, mag glasses, etc. #Scitlap

In reply to @sbosch_spps, @jpkidsco_plsas

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5: new energy has to overcome the cost and availability hurdles if it ever hopes to have a positive impact. Can this one do it? #scitlap

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5 Chance? Maybe, but of all the risky, expensive new sources at least one will succeed, and that may be all we need :) #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:47 PM EST

YES! And does climate change help tip the scales in favor of biofuels? A great question! #scitlap

In reply to @pentaclethra

daleyscience - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:47 PM EST

A5 More googling...hold on! #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:48 PM EST

In the lead for the best GIF I've seen this week! #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:49 PM EST

I agree, we need a many options. Each will be more feasible than others for different regions. Ie. for coastal areas, tidal gens #scitlap

pentaclethra Dec 14 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5 Chance? Maybe, but of all the risky, expensive new sources at least one will succeed, and that may be all we need :) #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5) I think newly emerging MUST have tax incentives/support for development. Next 4 years. Doubt it! #scitlap #politicaltweet

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:49 PM EST

Growing cellulose-heavy plants then harvesting to make fuel. #scitlap

In reply to @daleyscience

daleyscience - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:50 PM EST

A5 Seems like it could if we could be more cost-effective. #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:50 PM EST

A5: I recommend getting @SwitchEProject free DVD on this topic. It is a great, comprehensive resource that is honest & helpful #scitlap

In reply to @SwitchEProject

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:52 PM EST

Q6 inquires about intervention efforts here at home to combat climate change. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:54 PM EST

A6) is "re-terraform" a real term or something you designed? I like the sound of it... #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:54 PM EST

@SciTeach7Davis I added the "re" :) #scitlap

In reply to @SciTeach7Davis

daleyscience - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:55 PM EST

A6 We should do everything we can to make this planet our number one priority even if we are investigating other options. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:55 PM EST

A6) @andreakornowski Led her AP students through a cool PBL unit on a local town "re-design". (prob not 100%accurate description) #scitlap

In reply to @andreakornowski

NDuch061 Dec 14 @ 9:56 PM EST

A6: I think it's impossible on earth. Every country would need to agree on each step. We can't even all agree on an emission target #scitlap

Mr_Canterbury Dec 14 @ 9:57 PM EST

Jumping to Q8 and our final question - I know I skipped Q7...I;ll make it up to it somehow. Enjoy, #scitlap

karlacalbear Dec 14 @ 9:57 PM EST

A6. Good ?! On Mars citizens & community have shared vision & commitment. Earth is not a blank slate. Info helps both ways. #scitlap

SciTeach7Davis - Moderator Dec 14 @ 9:57 PM EST

SUCH an important question for all #tlap #sstlap #scitlap

A8 I feel like they would love this, they would see it all as a bright and innovative future. #scitlap
