One of the most important theories in Earth Science is Plate Tectonics. Now that we've had our test on some of the basics, we will explore density in a lab. Then, we'll discuss a few of the major types of landforms, and then find out how mountains are made.
Tonight's homework: make flashcards about our mountain building vocabulary. Find the vocabulary words, including deformation, stress and fault, on the webpage. You also may want to review "density" , "mass ", and "volume" from earlier weeks.
Extra credit: word wall words on paper or card about 4" x 6" or 4.25" x 5.5". I'll accept up to 5 from a student for 1 point each, or up to a total of 5 points extra credit. Try to make the defined word large enough to see from a distance, and put the definition on the lower part of the card in small letters. Don't forget to include your name!
Science After School: we have re-started the popular Thursday afternoon science help session. Students who attend SAS (2:10-3:15) can get extra help with the teacher or tutors from AITE, and maybe snacks and extra credit for good effort. Check in, or just drop by.
Larry: As you requested, I need a colorful poster that shows the contrast between the 4 types of mountains that we study (folding, fault block, dome, volcano). Poster should be at least 12" by 12". Thx.
