This is HL 2. Answers only, including units on a correctly headed sheet of loose leaf notebook paper, in blue/black ink or pencil only.

Students will be able to:
use information from virtual labs and classroom discussions to
-collect radioactive decay rate data for hypothetical isotopes over a period of 20,000 years.
-determine, compae, and contrast half-lives of four radioacitiradioactive elements.

Students began the GIZMO on half-life.

Students will be able to:
use information from online activities and classroom discussions to
-explain the methods used to assign relative ages of rock layers.
-differentiate relative and absolute age.
-explain how relative and absolute ages contributed to the geoogic time scale and its units.

The do now was an FCAT transparency on weathering and erosion.

Due to interim assessment testing this week, students reviewed science information.

Students spent the remainder of the time learning about the Earth's History and the Age of Rocks. They accessed the information at ylearn.co.uk. The access codes and units are listed below.
Unit------------------ Access Code
Earth History-----------SC7E64
Age of Rocks-----------SC7E63
Weathering------------cdms
Erosion---------------cdms1

The do now was an FCAT transparency on weathering and erosion.

Due to interim assessment testing this week, students reviewed good test taking skills. Be sure to get a good night's rest and eat a hearty breakfast. Come prepared to do your best! The science exam is tomorrow!

Students will be able to:
use information from textbooks and classroom discussions to
-describe how rock types differ.
-relate conditions needed for different types of rocks to form.

Students answered an FCAT question as their do now.

Students watched a BrainPop movie on types of rocks.

Students then read and took three column notes on rocks from their textbooks. They were able to observe various igneous rocks and relate their appearances to the characteristics they read in the text.

The home learning is SS2, and the directions can be found at the top of this blog.
