San Andreas... "Rock solid or a bit faulty?"

Year 7 went out to the mall 2 weeks ago to watch The Rock take on Mother Nature and the San Andreas Fault as California faces one of it's biggest fears, no not The Rock trying to act but a giant earthquake.

You can watch the trailer below as well as find out more about the film in general from the IMDB link and the films official site.  From here you can find the game Earthquake Heroes a link to learn what to do in the event of an earthquake,

You may find this article interesting as the science behind the film is discussed.  What did you think of the film?

Climate Change and the Optimistic Future

Thanks to Stefan in Year 8 for sending me this video.   The quote at the start of the video is an excellent point and one we should all consider.  Take a look for yourself as Professor Richard Muller, of Berkeley Earth Foundation, discusses his views on climate change and how he hopes we can leave a better planet for our children.
