6th graders; continue with weather data collection.

7th grade: 1) finish your AQs from the Cutting Canyons and turn them in tomorrow at start of class, if you have not turned them in already;
2) Graphic organizer for the concepts of Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition (be creative!);
3) Copy vocab to science notes:


constructive - A force or earth process that builds up earth material to create landforms.

deposit- leave or leaving material in a certain place; in this case, as a result of an earth process that drops sediments that were previously suspended in air, water, or ice.

deposition - Earth process that results in a deposit of earth materials.
