Warm up - read the article about the next great extinction. Once you are done reading, answer the questions that are on the front board. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52eec360e4b0c81c80749630/t/5444775de4b067cc717ad3cc/1413773149624/AoW+1415_10+Mass+Extinction.pdf All grades are up tp date, test scores, notebook checks and study guides are all put in. http://www.problem-attic.com/pdf/i9yxfzn2 Next, we cummulated our unit on Earth's History watching the video, "The Day the Mesozoic Died". Before the vacation we discussed several of the theories behind the dinosaur extinction (volcanism, asteroid, ice age, and radiation). The Day the Mesozoic Died shows us more evidence that supports the asteroid theory.

Test day!!! We did a quick warm up and turned in our study guides. We also did our notebook checks. Grades should all be updated by Wedensday. I will get the test grades in ASAP! THe test will be a link on line (not school net) and you will put your answers on scantron sheets. You will need a number 2 pencil for the test. Here is the link for the test. You should not be on ANY OTHER site except this file. If Isee you on any other place, you will get a ZERO on the test. When you are done with the test, close your lap top and turn in your scantron. You may read the magazine in front of you or read a book. Warm up today was a review of all the different methods for dating rocks and fossils. Make sure you know which methods are used for relative dating and whoch methods are used for relative dating. Next, we went around the room and read about the different theories scientists have about how the dinosaurs became extinct. Then students had to make a decision about what theory they thought had the most evidence to support the theory.
Reminder: Study guide is due Monday and Tuesday. Test and notebook check will be on the same day. If you are going to be out for the test, I need you to schedule a time to make it up before vacation.
Due Monday (A day) December 19th, 2016 and Tuesday (B day) December 20th, 2016
Reminder: Notebook check and tests will be on the same day listed above.
If you are dispersed, make sure you have the, "Warming of the Ice" handout from my classroom. You will write on the handout. Here is the file for the handout, you can use the link from the handout to get to the website. You will turn this assignment in on Friday December 16th.
Next, Here is the link for the study guide for the test. Reminder, your test is next week. Tuesday December 20th. Open up the file, and put the answers to the study guide on a separte sheet of paper. Do not type this assignemnt. You will turn in this assignment on Tuesday December 20th. If you need a hard copy of this assignment, please come see you me tomorrow.
Warm up - During warm up today we reviewed the Geologic Time Scale. Next, we spent some time finishing the Fossil Dating assignment on page 48. Here are the handouts if you did not finish them in class.
After finishing the assignments, we copied the table of contents on page 35 in your notbooks. 1.Cover… 34 2.Table of Contents…35 3.Rock Type Foldables …36 4.Rock Cycle…37 5.Solids, Liquids and Gases…38 6.Continents Join Together…39 7.Evidence of Continental Drift…40 8.. Evidence from the sea Floor...41 9. Convection Current…42 10. Plate Boundaries…43 11. Rocks Provide a timeline…44 12. Fossil Types…45 13. Geologic time Scale…46 14. Football Field Timeline…47 15. Fossil Dating…48 If you finish copying the table of contents, design your cover sheet on page 34. Here is an example of a cover sheet. PLease include: 1. 10 vocabulary words 2. 3 illustrations 3. Go around the border with facts about the unit. We will have our unit test next Monday (A day) and Tuesday (B day). We will also have a notebook check that day as well. We will be reviewing in class for a little bit on Thursday and Friday. Next, we took notes on radioactive decay and ice cores on page 49 in our notebooks and created a graph showing radioactive decay If you were absent here are the notes on radiactive decay. Finally, we worked on the study guide for this unit. Your answers need to be on a seperate sheet of paper. Here is the digital copy of the study guide. If you need a hard copy, please ask me for a copy. This assignment is due Monday December 19th. We will review next class for the test as well as talk about some dinosaur extinction theories.
Warm up today was about finding fossils from the ocean on top of a mountain. Next, we took a quiz on plate boundaries, Law of Superposition and Relative and absolute age. The scores will be recorded by the end of the day. Last class, we created huge timeline representing the entirory of the history of the Earth. The Geologic time scale shows all of the biological and geological events over the history of the Earth. In class today, we took a few nots on geologic time scale on page 46 in your notbooks. If you were not here today, here are the notes. Next, we created a GTS to put in our notebooks in the form of a football field. Notcie the majority of the football field is red for Precambrian time period. During most of the history of the Earth there was nothing going on. It's only within the last 500 million years that we had lots and lots of organisms develop. Lastly, we finished the day looking at 3 different methods for dating fossils. (ice cores, radioactive dating, and radioactive dating)
Warm up today had two parts. 1. Complete the handout on Relative Datinicle on g od Rock 2. Read the article, ""Scientists Have Mapped All of Ötzi the Iceman’s 61 Tattoos" On the back of page 45 in your notebook, answer the question: What is the function of Otzi’s tattoos? Next, we made some predictions about the History of the Earth on page 46 in our notebooks. Then, we created really really long timelines of the History of the Earth using cash register tape. 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 links to get to the sites. I have given you a copy of the 8 questions. . The answers to these questions go on a seperate sheet of paper, not in your notebooks. This assignment is due next class.
