Monday - President's
Day - No School
HW - None
Tuesday - Check Earthquake site
for new earthquakes.
Then students will meet in
their job groups. Students are making observations and trying
to find plate boundaries. Each job specialty is defining
plate boundaries with their own symbols and descriptions.
HW - None
Wednesday - Check Earthquake site
for new earthquakes.
Today students worked in
their smaller plate groups to look over and make observations
of their earthquake data. I also gave them a map with earthquake
data from 1990 to 1996.
HW - None
Thursday - Check Earthquake site
for new earthquakes.
Finish making earthquake
observations and finish making symbols for earthquake plate
boundary types.
Students will then share
what they learned in the other three jobs (volcanologist,
geologist, and geochronologist).
HW - Kids are losing their
packets and I didn't make any extras because it was a lot
of paper just making each kid one packet. So what I've done
is put all the handouts on the Earth
Science webpage and
the Earth Movement webpage.
Friday - Today
students will begin to compare where they think the plate
boundaries for their region of the earth. They will begin
to define team plate boundaries for their region that they
will share with the rest of the class. Together all the teams
will create all the plate boundaries on the Earth.
HW - None
