Honors: We finished Global Temperature Trends (see PPT or PDF). Any additional information is in the notes section of the PDF. Foundational: Students were working on/finishing the Coriolis Effect. See PPT.
HONORS: Monday - We worked on albedo (see Friday's PPT) Tuesday - We finished albedo (see Friday's PPT); we then started greenhouse gases (slides 1-6) Foundational: Monday - We worked on heat transfer, and we drew a model of convection. Tuesday - We started the Coriolis Effect
Honors: Students continued to explore how development affects temperatures of a region. Please see attached PPT. General Housekeeping: ●SCL ocean currents check-in is due Monday. ●All NHI or ABS work is due no later than Tuesday. ●If students wish to use their summative second chance learning opportunity (if it was not previously used on the moons quiz), the assignment is due no later than Tuesday of next week. For those that wish to use it on yesterday's quiz, students can report to FLEX tomorrow to receive their answer sheet, quiz/test correction form, and the original quiz. Students must complete corrections. Once these are done, the quiz can be retaken. Students can also opt to use second chance learning on the UAE climate paragraph or debate. Rewrites of these are due Tuesday. Again, this can only be utilized if the summative SCL opportunity was not used on the Moon's quiz. Foundational: Students took notes on the different types of heat transfer in their notebook based on yesterday's activities. Please see yesterday's PPT for copy of notes.
Honors - Students took a quiz today on heat transfer, winds, ocean currents, and the Coriolis Effect. Grades are posted. Students also turned in their choice board assignments. Grades will be posted once it is graded (probably on Monday). Students started working to explain why places that have more development have higher temperatures. General Housekeeping: ●SCL ocean currents check-in is due Monday. ●All NHI or ABS work is due no later than Tuesday. ●If students wish to use their summative second chance learning opportunity (if it was not previously used on the moons quiz), the assignment is due no later than Tuesday of next week. For those that wish to use it on today's quiz, students can report to FLEX tomorrow to receive their answer sheet, quiz/test correction form, and the original quiz. Students must complete corrections. Once these are done, the quiz can be retaken. Students can also opt to use second chance learning on the UAE climate paragraph or debate. Rewrites of these are due on Tuesday. Again, this can only be utilized if the summative SCL opportunity was not used on the Moon's quiz. Foundational: Students completed their lab reflection's from yesterday's video. Please see attached PPT.
Honors: We finished ocean currents (specifically connecting to Greenland). Please see attached PPT for notes/activities completed from pages 79-82. Students also worked on a choice board to review the concepts for tomorrow's quiz on heat transfer, coriolis effect, winds, and ocean currents. I've attached a copy of this. Announcements made in class:
Homework:
Foundational: TUESDAY: We introduced the new phenomenon - Greenland is melting faster than refreezing. Students developed questions they needed to ask in order to explain why this event is occurring. WEDNESDAY: We completed a small lab in which students designed a way to insulate a regular red cup on a timed budget and time frame. Tomorrow, we will explain how this relates to heat transfer. Homework: None
HONORS: We completed ocean currents today. Please see attached PPT. Homework - Ocean currents check-in on Tuesday. Quiz on Thursday (heat transfer, Coriolis Effect, Winds, and Ocean Currents) FOUNDATIONAL: We completed a debate. If you were absent, you will have to complete a written version of the debate.
TUESDAY Honors - We finished global winds (on p. 78), and started a demo related to ocean currents (p. 79). Foundational - We continued a Report Form reading related to the UAE man-made mountain. WEDNESDAY Honors - Students found a current event article related to climate change. They completed a reflection paper on their article. Homework - complete if not finished in class. Foundational - Students continued their Report Form reading, and they began sharing vocabulary they did not know.
Honors - Today we reviewed the process of convection (on p. 76). We also took what we learned about convection, winds, and the Coriolis Effect to create a global winds model (p. 77). Please see attached PPT for copies of these assignments.
Foundational - Each student was assigned a reading related to the UAE proposed mountain in order to prepare for a debate in favor or opposed to the mountain. Students were also responsible for selecting and defining words with which they were not familiar.
