Here's what coming up next week:
- Atmosphere in a bottle lab, where we explore the effect that various heating methods and temperatures have on water levels. This will be an ongoing lab.
- Layers of the atmosphere poster- A fun classwork activity that will double as a study tool to help memorize the characteristics of each layer.
- Tomorrow(Thursday) we're back to 25-35 minute periods, a good time to go over the results of the tests. Again, basically everyone did a great job but we need to polish up on a few areas, especially short response.
- We will also be revisiting the lab template and rubric in a 5 minute workshop one day next week.
This Friday, I will be conducting a 30 minute lesson/review on what we have learned about the atmosphere from our readings. This will help to narrow down the main topics of interest. Since we haven't been able to do a serious note-taking on it, I am considering attaching the power-point as a file on Engrade for you to download. If my projector isn't up and running by next week (I have to return the one I borrowed this Friday) we may be getting our notes that way for a while but do not get spoiled...;).
Expect a short quiz on the atmosphere Monday or Tuesday of next week. Next Tuesday, we will begin studying the climate so be Proactive and read ahead. it never hurts.
