In the second week of our Elluminate session, we focus on introductions, technology tools like Wiki and Brainhoney, and various assignments centered around climate change. We review evidence related to the greenhouse effect, temperature records from June, and drought events. Assignments include analyzing the Goldilock’s Principle and critical journal entries. We also investigate the research questions and methods of two scientists specializing in atmospheric science and hurricane research. This week emphasizes active participation, sharing contributions, and developing a deeper understanding of climate dynamics.
