Homework: none
Today we had two sets of cart sorts: mechanical/physical vs. chemical and weathering vs. erosion vs. deposition. Then, students worked on a diagram of the characteristics of soil layers. We'll finish that diagram on Monday. Happy weekend!
Homework: none Today we had a Skittles lab in order to show weathering. Tomorrow only B testers will have 3rd block and they'll go to Mr. Cunningham's room for a discussion on concepts in our unit.
Homework: none Today we went over the proper way to write a hypothesis (if/then) and turned in the Weathering Lab from Friday (absent students were exempt). We also watched a Bill Nye video on rivers and how moving water impacts landforms (delta anyone?- no, not the planes).
Homework: none Thank you SO much for all of the generous lab supply donations! I can't wait to do this lab next week!! Today we did book work (boo!) but our last of it (yay!)- at least for a while.

Homework: none Below is a list of supplies we need in order to do an edible soil lab. I've done this before and it's a favorite!

- plastic spoons - oreos - graham crackers - green food coloring - shaved coconut (unsweetened) - pull-and-peel Twizzlers - mini-chocolate chips - regular chocolate chips - vanilla pudding mix Anyone have a connection at Dollar Tree? There are tons of other containers, cups, trays, etc. but it's easier if I just go get it myself. Today students completed a guided notes sheet from the textbook about erosion caused by wind, ice, and gravity.
