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!

Wind Farm Siting Activity

Today we began trying to figure out a hypothetical problem of where to site a wind farm based on various factors.  These factors include:  wind speed, tower height, location, cost, community opinions.  We worked in groups of two to three in order to accomplish this.  This activity requires at least today and Monday in class to complete.  The whole packet is down below for your viewing pleasure.  Have a great weekend!
