After taking our notes today we talked about the importance of taking care of each other. We talked about how unkindnes, drugs and drink can negatively affect people and that we all need to help someone that might be unhappy.
Then we discussed the Geologic Times. We learned about original horizontality and superposition of rocks. We discussed fossils and index fossils. We saw pictures of the Precambrian time and the three eras and what the defining features were of the different eras. Photosynthesis was discussed and how it helped get oxygen on the Earth.
The students had a meeting with Mr. Transtrum about how weeds are endangering our state. The students will have the opportunity to write a five paragraph essay about weeds and maybe even win a cash prize.
Test on Wednesday. It will include:
The types of mountains and which are most common
Mechanical and chemical weathering
The difference between minerals and rocks
The properties of rocks
Intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks
Glaciers, till, moraine, drumlin
Old and young rivers
Superposition
The difference between potential and kinetic energy (that is from January)
Metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks
Fossils
The Great Lakes formation
Four states of matter
Groundwater, aqifer, watershed, soil
Name the poles of a magnet
Draw and atom
And, as always, write the definition of a hypothesis
Hope this helps!
