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.

Helicopter Lab and Conclusions

First of all, the students are doing amazing studying for their conclusion quizzes and getting A's!  Remember students will continue to take the conclusion quiz until they "master" it by getting an A.  I have all the review materials on my blog for students to access to study. 

For the rest of the week we will be designing paper "helicopters" - students will work in teams to design helicopters using 3x5 index cards.  On Thursday, students will enter their helicopters into four competitions - slowest descent, fastest descent, most accurate, and farthest lateral distance.
