Week of 10/24

This week, we are concluding our study of the earth's climate and the effect humans have on it. This information is covered in chapter 13 of the book. A review slideshow can be found by clicking here.

We will test on Friday. We spent yesterday reviewing guided reading questions in class. Students received a study guide today, and we will spend Thursday reviewing.

Week of 10/17

This week, we are studying climate and climate change. We will discuss global warming and conduct a student-designed lab to model the effect of greenhouse gases. On that note, WE NEED YOU to send your students in with empty milk jugs or 2 liter bottles. CLEAR is best, but we can work with green or white too.

We will also discuss el nino and la nina. We will compare these events to normal climatic patterns.

IMPORTANT ALERT!
On Monday 10/17, we passed out a recovery packet which will serve to recover low test grades (Chapters 15, 14, and 11) and replace low or missing classwork grades from the same chapters. The recovery packet can also be viewed on google docs by following the link above or clicking here. The recovery packet is due Wednesday 10/26
