Plate Tectonics Review-Read ME!



The review at the bottom is very similar to the test.  If you know the information on the review, you should do fine on the test.  Also, if you comment on this post "extra credit", you will get EXTRA CREDIT!  Make sure I know who you are to receive proper credit.

Plate Tectonics-Test Review



Magnetic Reversals-Yeah!



Alright, first of all in class we went over the Wind Turbine Farm Siting Activity.  I emphasized to the student's to make sure they use supporting details and/or data to support their answers.  Then we watched a short video clip on magnetic reversals/sea floor spreading.  Finally, we read the article below and the students are expected to write a summary of the article about 6-8 sentences. It is due tomorrow.  Speaking of tomorrow....how about a little BINGO review for the test?  Also, stay tuned...I will be posting the review sheet on the blog as well.  Anyone that comments on that post will get extra credit!
