Reminder: Bring in canned goods and coats! We reviewed layers of the Earth today in our warm up and then took our mini quiz on Pangea, Continental Drift, and convection. Quiz grades should be up to date by tomorrow. Keep in mind, several of you owe me assignments! Progress reports go out next week. Next we spent a little time looking at different fossil types.(Tar, amber, ice...)We took a few notes on page 45 in our notebook. If you were not here, you can find the powerpoint here. Look at the web sites given here to find the information that will enable you to answer questions about Antarctica fossils. You will need to READ the articles and websites, not just skim. Click on the red links to get to the sites.
I have given you a copy of the 9 questions. . The answers to these questions go on a seperate sheet of paper, not in your notebooks. This assignment is due next class.

Today's warm up was a poem on Continental Drift, I also checkd page 43 in the notebooks on plate boundaries. We then reviewed convection current from last class. On the back of page 43 in our notebooks, we added a chart on plate boundaries. Focusing on the movement of plates and what is formed at those boundaries.
Unfortunately, we had to take a few notes (and by few I mean a lot) on page 44. These notes were titled, "Rocks Provide a Timeline". If you were not here, click here for the powerpoint from today. Finally we completed an activity about fossil layering. Finish the questions on fossil layering for homework.

As our warm up today, we looked at some information and determined if it is evidence or opinion. Then the students had to decide if it is evidence that supports continental drift or not. Next we reviewed the evidence we looked at in class the other day: animal fossils, plant fossils, climate change, rock samples, etc. Even after all the Wegener's evidence, people still didn't believe in Continental Drift. Since Wegener could not explain how the continents moved, he died with out getting any credit. Once they started mapping the bottom of the ocean floor, scientists located the mid ocean ridge which helped to explain the movement of the continents. Here are the notes that go on page 41 in your notebook... Evidence from the Sea Floor. Next, we did a little lab on Convection Currents. Convection currents happen in the mantle, and this circular movement helps push the continents. Lastly, title page 43, "Plate Boundaries". Click on the file below to open up the webquest.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_in538EqGqnVlp2cXV0UV9wSjg We started the day with our warm up. We read the article listed below, "The $1 billion mission to reach the Earth's mantle." Next, we went over the vocabulary on page 39 and added notes to our vocabulary. (continental drift, plate tectonics, mid ocean ridge, uniformitarianism, and Pangaea) Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Alfred Wegener came up with this theory in 1912. There are many different pieces of evidence that helps to explain Continental Drift. In class today we will look at the different pieces of evidence and explain how it proves that continents have actually shifted. If you were not in class today, create this chart in you notebooks on page 40. Using this link, use the handouts to fill in the chart about the 7 pieces of evidence that support Continental Drift. If the PDF is upside down, right click and click rotate. In paragraph form, on a separate sheet of paper answer the questions . Use the questions below as a guideline of what to put in your paragraph. -What is continental drift? Who’s theory was it? -What are the 7 pieces of evidence that support continental drift? - Which one do you think is the best evidence? Why? -The worst piece of evidence? Why?
1. Read the following article on digging to the mantle. "The $1 billion mission to reach the Earth's mantle." If you are in my classroom, answer the following questions in your warm up. If you are dispersed, answer the following questions on the back of page 34 in your notebooks. 1.Why do scientists want to dig to the mantle? 2.Why are they choosing to dig through the oceanic crust and not the continental crust? 3.When was the first attempt to dig toward the mantle? How far did they get? 4.How wide will the hole toward the mantle be? 5.How long do they think it will take to get to the mantle? 2. Continental drift was a theory that explained how continents shift position on Earth's surface. Alfred Wegener came up with this theory in 1912. There are many different pieces of evidence that helps to explain Continental Drift. Today you will look at the different pieces of evidence and explain how it proves that the continents at one time were connected and have shifted. Create this chart in your notebook on page 40. Using this link, use the handouts to fill in the chart about the 7 pieces of evidence that support Continental Drift. If the PDF is upside down, right click and click rotate.
Create a flyer to post outside our room. Include a picture of your self, the mascot of the college you are interested in attending, and the symbol for the college you are interested in attending. Also include what you want to be when you grow up. See the attached flyer for an example. You can use mine and replace it with your information. You do not have to use my template, you can create your own if you want. Save your copy and email it to me. [email protected] I will print them and post them.
