Week of 11-19 to 11-21

6th-We will be finishing our chapter on soil and weathering this week. We will be having our assessment for this chapter on Tuesday. We will then be briefly discussing on Wednesday the beginning of our next chapter after Thanksgiving break, Chapter 8, Erosional Forces. 7th-We will be working on an egg drop project this week. Students will be designing a device that protects an egg from a fall of about 8 feet. They will have 2 days to design and build, and on Wednesday we will be doing the drop. Students will have time on Friday, after their test, to begin thinking about materials they may need and want to bring in the following week. 8th-We will be discussing our impacts on our air and water. We will be making posters that outline possible environmental concerns that the students have, as well as ways to remediate them.
