A quick pivot made a world of difference in today's lab portion of the class. I was exceptionally excited to see everyone up and walking around, helping each other out, sharing information, writing on the board, and really trying to learn the material. Well done, everyone. I look forward to hearing your feedback as the weeks go on; being able to adapt to the class' learning needs and preferences is a critical component of a successful learning environment. Not that you care about pedagogy (there's Jack's word for the week!). Just sayin'. It works.
If you have questions about the last portion of the lab, feel free to write, text, or call. We will be going over the whole thing (quickly) in class on Wednesday, so you can ask questions then, too. Please read the lab worksheets' text--there's a lot in there to provide a good lecture back-up.
FYI: For those of you interested in a deeper look at Earth's magnetic declination, here is a great website showing shifts in magnetic north and south from 1900 to the present and into 2020. The webpage is part of the website for the World Data Center for Geomagnetism in Kyoto, Japan.
And, finally, the part you've all been waiting for: THE SLIDES. We didn't finish the whole presentation, but you can view the last few, here, on your own. They're very much related to the West Wing video we watched (see previous posts for todays vids). Enjoy.
