Thursday Class

The students will continue working their weathering presentations.
The four types of weathering that will be covered are:
1) Mechanical Weathering
2) Chemical Weathering
3)Weathering by Abrasion
4) Weathering from Organic Activity

The students will create a 5 minute presentation and a poster. I will provide the information for the demonstration. Students may access resources for their presentations by clicking here.

Monday and Tuesday Class

The past two days, the students have been working on an igneous rock lab. Today, the students completed the lab and watched an introduction to weathering video.

Thursday Class

Today in science, we dove right back into the rocks and minerals unit. The students watch a short video about the rock cycle. Then, the students read pages 70-73 in their Science Fusion textbook and took Cornell notes. The study will be participating in a lab about igneous rocks on Monday.

Monday- Wednesday Science Class

These next two days the students will be working on creating a research plan, material list and completing paperwork for science fair.

Note:
The science fair research plan, materials and paperwork are due on Thursday, October 13th.

Wednesday Class

Today in science, the students watched an introduction to rocks and minerals video. In addition, the students took Cornell notes.

Note:

The science fair research cards and procedure are due on Friday.

Tuesday Class

Today in science, we will kick off the rocks and minerals unit with a webquest.

Monday Class

Today in science, the students participated in drawing activity to aid in the writing of their science fair procedures. In addition, the students were given time in class to work on their science fair research cards and procedure.

Note:
The research cards and procedure are due on Friday, October 7th.
