4 days till Winter Break!
I will be out Wednesday- through Friday
Today's Quote:
"Beauty is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
but rather an image you see though you close your eyes
and a song you hear though you shut your ears."
~~ Khalil Gibran

Recap:
6th: Students were given a Geologic timeline Webquest to finish in class and then we took notes
7th: Classes finished up the bone dissection and I described the bone practicum test they will have on Monday and Tuesday.
8th: Students watched a brief video on Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation and we began discussing how it would be used in our Parachute design. Students learned how Newton determined the center of gravity for an object by constructing a small to dimensional spaceship and calculating it's center of gravity. If they did it right, it can be balanced on the head of a pin!
Brain Bender:
A well-known fashion designer wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. She decided to spend a few days at a rural resort. Feeling like some fresh air after a few days of reading and relaxing she decided to go for a winter stroll. That was the last time anyone saw her alive. The autopsy revealed that death was due to the pack on her back. What was deadly about this pack?

Earth’s Structure and Changes Over Time
Unit Essential Question: How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
How do the processes of the rock cycle and human activities alter the surface of Earth over time?
Key Learning Statement: The shape of the land changes over time through two major processes, both natural and manmade. Natural changes occur through weathering, erosion, and deposition which are agents of the rock cycle. Manmade changes occur through deforestation, urbanization, desertification, air, land, water quality, and change in flow and pollution of water.
