Mountains and Volcanos

A little bit of reading never hurt anyone!  So, that's exactly what we did!  In class students read section B3.1 (B77-B84) and were to answer either the odds or even questions on page B84.  In addition to that reading, they were to read section B3.2 (B86-B93) and complete the Guided Reading Worksheet (see below)  There was also a volcano crossword for them to do if time permitted.  All those things are down below so check them out.  Have a great weekend and see you Monday!

While watching the movie, you are to write a paragraph 6-8 sentences explaining in detail how the Himalayas were formed.  A link to the movie is below!  Go!

Today in class we worked on completing yesterday's mapping activity. (see yesterday's post)  Once complete, we then finished up the volcano characteristics worksheet that we worked on in the computer lab on Monday.(see Monday's post)  We will begin doing some fun labs tomorrow!  Be here and don't miss out!

Mountain Range Mapping

In class today we worked on mapping various mountain ranges throughout the world.  We only got the mapping portion done but will continue with researching how some of them were formed.  Please see the instructions on the worksheets below.

Volcano Characteristics: Computer Lab

Today we headed to the computer lab and were identifying various characteristics of Cinder Cone, Strato and Shield volcanoes.  It seemed to be pretty tough so students will be allowed to work on it tomorrow in class if time allows and then I will make a determination as to when it is due, either Wednesday or Thursday.  A copy of the worksheet is below.  Tomorrow in class is BYOD (bring your own device day) for a mapping activity.  Please plan accordingly.
