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.
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.

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.
Title page 43, "Plate Boundaries". Click on the file below to open up the webquest. Answer questions 1-9 on page 43 in your notebook. Answer the questions using complete sentences. The links are embedded in the handout.
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. Answer questions 1-9 on page 43 in your notebook. Answer the questions using complete sentences. The links are embedded in the handout.
