Welcome Back! We are ready to start this new year right!!!
We are half way through the school year, can you believe it??? We are now beginning a new unit on Earth's interior layers.
The key concepts for this unit are: Earth's layers are ordered according to their density, how particles are sorted by size AND density and basics of plate tectonics.
Students will be required to do an Earth model project at home worth 50 test points (students will bring home a rubric) and a tennis ball for an activity.
Due dates for these things:
1/13 Tennis Ball
1/17 Earth Model due
1/18 Earth Test
Class Schedule (please note that topics are subject to change)
