This is HL 2. Answers only on correctly headed loose leaf notebook paper, in blue/black ink or pencil.

Students will be able to:
use information from internet access, textbooks, and classroom discussions to
-explore the solar system.
-gather, interpret, and compare current weather information for Mars and Earth.
-interpret and make interences from data.

Students continued the essential lab activity on making a model of the solar system.

Home learning can be found at the top of this blog. However, in order to correctly answer the questions, students should read the following pages prior to completing the assignment:

Students will be able to:
use information from online activities, textbooks, and classroom discussions to
-describe the arrangement of our solar system.
-describe eclipses adn the relationship between tides on earth and the position of the Moon, sun, and earth.
-describe the advantages adaptations give to living things.

The do now was an FCAT transparency on weathering and erosion.

Due to interim assessments this week, students reviewed good test taking skills. Be sure to eat a good breakfast and get plenty of rest. The science exam is tomorrow!

Students spent the remainder of the period learning about the solar system and adaptations. Visit the ylearn site at ylearn.co.uk and use the codes to access the information.

Students will be able to:
use information from hands on activities and classroom discussions to
-describe phase changes.
-describe the transfer of heat energy from one object to another.

The do now was an FCAT transparency.

Students watched a BrainPop movie on tectonic plates.

Students read their textbooks, pages 42-82 to find information about plate tectonics.
