we out. #BCsci19

@In_S_P_I_Re Now I think of Miss Congeniality for “not too hot, not too cold...” Maybe it should be the Ms. Rhode Island effect now!

“Prokaryotes have hardly changed in nearly 4 billion years.” That’s crazy considering how much the Earth has changed over those years! #BCsci19

“For most of the Earth’s first billion years, the biosphere was dominated by bacteria and archaea.” #GermCentral #BCsci19

Wow, I didn’t know that 20% of the Earth’s mass is oxygen! #HolyMoley #ThatsALotOfOxygen #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

It blows my mind how only five out of the more than 100 elements make up the four basic compounds (amino acids, sugars, fatty acids, and nucleotides) #BCsci19

The origin of life is one of the Holy Grails of natural science. #MontyPython #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

I’m just amazed that Australia and Antarctica were once combined, especially since their climates are so different today! ☀️❄️🐨🐧 #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

I didn’t know that erosion could pretty much kill the Earth! #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

If our most important ingredient is sunlight, why don’t the planets closer to the sun have more similar characteristics to Earth? #hmmm #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

So basically the solar system was like okay, Earth. You are just PERFECT so I’m only gifting you life! Congrats! #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

I think that it’s brilliant that they called the habitable zone the “Goldilocks Zone.” Its juuuussssst right for people to live in! #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

@Jcase0117 Me too! It’s always been one of my favorite things in science to learn about! #DNAnerds

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

Overall, chapter 5 discusses the creation of the atmosphere and the oceans - two topics I never really think deeply about. #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

@ElmoreShayd I had the same thought!

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

The moon directly impacts tides, but our atmosphere and ocean wouldn’t circulate if our Earth didn’t spin! #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

I think that it’s super interesting that Mars’ atmosphere may have just been stripped away by solar winds. That’s such a complex event, but this book makes it sound like an everyday occurrence. ☁️💨 #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

Which hypothesis is correct - endogenous or exogenous origin? Come on, this is science. It would be way too easy for there to actually be a clear-cut answer! #BCsci19

[Morgan Babey @MbabsUofl]

Like I mentioned in an earlier tweet, I love how this book will make the text kid friendly. This time, it’s comparing the buoyancy of liquids to a bottle of soda that fizzes because of carbonation. It just makes more sense! #BCsci19

@MakenzieDav Lol me when I read that hashtag.
