Hi Scientists!
We’ll be diving into the concepts of weathering and deposition. Students will engage in a Skittles Lab, which uses Skittles to help students understand these geological processes in a fun and hands-on way. This lab will be completed by Wednesday.
Later in the week, we’ll be working on the Slope Deposition Lab, where students will simulate and observe how materials move and settle on different slopes. This lab will be due on Monday, November 25.
Additionally, students will have their Term 2, Week 3 Roots Quiz this week. They’ll be tested on the following root words, which we’ve been studying in class:
• Pyro – fire (as in pyromaniac)
• Chrono – time (as in chronological)
• Topo – place/area (as in topography)
• Seismo – shaking (as in seismograph)
• Trans – across, through, over (as in translation)
Keepers: petro/petri, super, ign, centi, octa, milli
Please encourage your student to review these root words as well as the keepers for the quiz.
Last Week the students received their partner, summative overview, and organizer to begin their project presentations of a Stories of the African Diaspora. They chose their own case study article and create a powerpoint presentation. Their powerpoint presentation were presented at the end of the week to close out our S-SA unit.
This Week students will launch into our new Unit 3: MENA (Middle East & North Africa) through mapping political and physical maps. We will explore our thematic map exploration and review for our MENA map quiz through Jeopardy review game. Students will take the quiz on Monday 11/25.
