In high school I hated science class. It was my first class of the day and I was always late. Sometimes I would just find something else to do so I wouldn't have to go... Leadership. Debate. Student government. My friend and I would sometimes go to Noah's Bagels and get chocolate chip bagels. ANYTHING so that we could miss the boring class. And after nine years I thought I got away with it... But, I was wrong!
What is my latest class assignment at my hagwon.... Earth Science!
Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?
Here are a few questions I now have to answer and then explain to my new science students...
1. Two cities are separated by 300 miles. City X has a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit and city Y has a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Calculate the temperature gradient between the two cities.
2. Name the major layers of the Earth and their functions.
3. Erosion typically wears the Hawaiian volcano Mono Loa down about 20cm in 5 years. Lava flows build the volcano up about 10cm every time there is an eruption. Mono Loa erupts about once every two years. Is the volcano growing or wearing down?
This class is a disaster waiting to happen!
