F1: Were all the continents ever connected as one?

1. Josh Hill - http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/02/were-antarctica.html . Info from this site was all from John Goodge, a NSF-funded researcher with the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.

Reflection

1. I learned a lot of facts and information about the world's fair that I never knew. Things about inventions introduced there, different attractions, exhibits and foods. I found out that many buildings that were built for it was still standing in St. Louis today.

2. How did the 1904 World's Fair impact the modern world?

3. The 1904 World's fair impacted the world in many ways. It bought us new technology, a new insight on the city of St. Louis, insights on different cultures, food, inventions and more. Having the fair made it easier to present new ideas to the world in one location for hundreds of people to see at once.

4. Yes.

5. We showed different things that were invented and presented there.

6. Finding information on question. Also working at a steady pace.

7. Writing out more information that deal with topic question.

8. I would've presented it in another way like filming buildings that still stand today or just taking pictures of them.

9. nothing it was fine

10. B. I could've done more things to answer the question and presented in another form or way.
