Test Tomorrow!




Today and yesterday we worked on determining the epicenter of earthquakes using triangulation.  The packet is below.  It isn't an easy concept so if you were gone, I suggest you look on Youtube for videos that discuss this to help you at home and when at school, ask ME!  Quiz tomorrow, study sheets were passed out today in class along with a Mercalli/Richter scale assignment.  I will have to post that in the morning, I forgot!

Megaquake: Cascadia

We decided to pull the plug on the Spaghetti project.  It was on life support and not looking good.  So, we have moved on in our lives.  Today we watched the video below and during the video, we were to cite evidence that supports the theory of megaquakes happening in the past as well as in the future.  

We do have an earthquakes quiz on Friday!
