Students will be able to:
use the information from internet access, textbooks, and classroom discussions to
-compare and contrast the geocentric and the heliocentric models of the solar system.
Students will work on remediation of sixth grade earth and space benchmarks:
Remediation Week of 2/21/12
SC.6.E.7.1 Differentiate among radiation, conduction, and convection, the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through Earth’s system.
If you got questions 1 and/or 18 wrong:
1. Do the Pearson assigned activity:
How is heat transferred?
2. Also, go to the Explore Tab and click the link for Chapter 5 and then Chapter 5.1 Heat Transfer. Click the Elaborate tab and complete the Interactive Art activity.
3. Then, go to Dr. Gayden’s Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com) and click the first link to review heat transfer by playing the game.
SC.6.E.7.4 Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
If you got questions 6, 8, and/or 24 wrong:
1. Do the Pearson assigned activity:
What are the main parts of the earth system?
2. Also, go to the Explore tab and click the link for Chapter 7 and then Chapter 7.1 Interactions among Earth’s Spheres. Click the Elaborate tab and complete the Interactive Art activity.
3. Then, go to Dr. Gayden’s Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com) and review all the information in the second and third links. There are multiple links within the links, so visit each one!
SC.6.E.7.5 Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land.
If you got questions 15, 29, and/or 32 wrong:
1. Do the Pearson assigned activity:
Greenhouse Effect
2. Also, go to the Explore Tab and click the link for Chapter 7 and then Chapter 7.2 Energy in Earth’s Atmosphere. Click the Elaborate tab and complete the Interactive Art activity.
