Describe geographic evidence collected in the last part of the 20th century to support the theory of continental drift.

Why do scientists today accept the movement of continents but did not accept this theory back in Wegner's time?

Describe the process of the scientific method and theory development.

How does the scientific method help us understand the natural world?

Describe how plate tectonics provides the mechanism for continental drift.

How do plate tectonics explain the process of continental drift?

How do plate tectonics explain natural landforms like the Himalayas and the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean?

For this project, you will be exploring the developments in material science that have allowed computers to become so fast. To do so, please address the following in 3-4 pages, not including title and reference pages:

What are the 3 essential properties of every material?
New materials often lead to new technologies that change society. Describe how silicon-based semiconductors revolutionized computing.

What are microchips? How are they related to integrated circuits?

One of the pressing questions about the increasing ability of computers to quickly process large amounts of information is whether a computer can be built that is considered "alive" or "conscious." What is artificial intelligence? What are 2 essential differences between human brains and the central processing unit of a computer?
