This is HL 4. Answers only on your own paper.

Students will be able to:
use the information from hands-on activities and classroom discussions to
-review for the science FCAT 2.0.

HL 4 is due in class on Monday. You can find it at the top of this blog.

Students did three lab activities to day to review for the science FCAT. The activities centered on reviewing earth and space science concepts.

Students viewed a photograph and determined each of the spheres of the earth and how the spheres interrelated.

Students also used a poster with many small holes, viewed up close and at a distance to demonstrate how distance makes things blurry, as does distance when viewing the stars of the Milky Way galaxy.

Finally, students used connecting cubes to demonstrate that new sedimentary rock can form during the process of weathering and compaction/cementation by connecting the blocks, breaking them apart, and reassembling them in a different arrangement.
