It's earthquake week! We will learn all about earthquakes, faults, and seismic waves. We will end the week with a favorite lab, the earthquake-proof building lab. Our next quiz will be Mon, February 10th. There is a study guide posted on Canvas. There is a gimkit students can use to study as well. After we wrap up plate tectonics on Wednesday, we get to start volcanoes! This week's schedule is as follows:
Monday - Earthquake Notes and EQ article challenge #1
Tuesday - Faults and Folding Notes and EQ article challenge #2
Wednesday - Fault Blocking Activity and EQ article challenge #3
Thursday - Seismic Waves Notes and EQ article challenge #4
Friday - Earthquake-proof building
A few quick reminders: students should come to class prepared with their green science notebook, pencil pouch, and ear buds. All students must have an ID badge. We check for ID badges every day and if a child does not have their badge, it is considered a dress code violation. If your child has lost theirs from last year, please order them a new one from My Payments Plus. All students should have a book with them at all times. If they don't bring a book with them to class, they will be considered unprepared for class. We're going to have a great week!
