Hello Everyone! This is Test Week! The test will include the following: (These are approximate values and are subject to change) The test will be in essay form for Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue classes. Red Class will be given multiple choice/essay. Study Guides will go out Tuesday but everything in the science notebook is fair game for this test. Commit to at least 20 minutes a night to studying material taught in class!
70% New material – Plate Tectonics- New Earthquake Material
10% Scientific Method
10% Metric System
10% Hypothesis/ Variables
Monday: Continue Earthquake notes/volcano earthquake project
Tuesday: Study-guide/ volcano earthquake project
Wednesday: Notes on Faults- seismic wave lab sw reverse fault
Thursday: Finish up project/ Review game
Friday: Test !
Monday: Science Fair note-cards/Rough Draft
Tuesday: I will check to see that note-cards are completed. sw strikeslip We will finish Plate tectonic Notes
Wednesday: Begin Earthquake/ Volcano project
Thursday: Finish Earthquake/Volcano projects
Friday: Earthquake Notes
Please! Be aware that all quizzes and tests/assessments are cumulative. This means that you have to go back and look over material that we studied before. Looking at the quizzes I have graded so far, it seems to me that students are only studying new material. Between 30-50% of each quiz or test will be material sw-divergent covering the stuff taught at the beginning of the year.
Monday: Plate Tectonic Notes continued/ go over quizzes

Thursday: Benchmark exam
Friday: Earthquake Introduction
Hello Everyone! Science Fair Packets went home last week detailing the process. Topics are due today- I will approve or disapprove. Research papers (1-3 pages) with at least three sources are due October 19th. This is the background research that must take place before the hypothesis is formed, that way it really will be an “educated” guess! Use the composition book for this paper-be sure to use ink!!! I want to see the mistakes and corrections that are made.
Camp Thunderbird Packets went out Friday- Due Oct 15th. We need Parents to volunteer!
