Earth Science Field Trip

"Old Indian" at Dixville Notch
Earth Science took a field trip around the area. We visited the mineral springs in Brunswick, saw glacial eskers, took in the anticline folding that makes up Dixville Notch, and visited an aquifer recharging area. We stopped for lunch at Bacon Bridge--a covered bridge over the Connecticut River. The Connecticut at this location is a lovely example of the "youthful" stage in the river life cycle. We eventually made our way north to Murphy Dam in Pittsburg where we visited the gatehouse, and walked across the top of the earthen dam.

Concept Maps: Organizing Information



Concept Map from Popplet
Concept maps--or mind maps--can help organize information making it easier to learn vocabulary and concepts. Mind maps visually demonstrate relationships between concepts. The concept map above illustrates facts about Earth. The concept map below illustrates the layers of the atmosphere.
