Weathing Lab #1

Remember for tonight, you must finish the questions and the math part of the lab from today. If you lost your copy, HERE is a new one! I will post it later this afternoon. If you do not remember how to do the math part, follow the directions below.

1. Determine what group you were in (warm or cold)
2. Find the average for both the solid and crushed tablets for whatever temperature you had.
3. Subtract the number your group got from the average number. If you get a negative it is fine!
4. Divide that last difference by the average number. You should get a very small decimal number.
5. Multiply that number by 100 to get the percentage that your data was off from the rest of the class.
6. Repeat that process for the next measurement you used.

So...for tomorrow you should have the questions answered and the math finished for the lab.
Remember...any late or absent work is going to turn into zeros as of Friday at 3pm!

Satalite

I hope you are having a good break for the long weekend. When we come back on Tuesday, we will start talking about erosion. If you have late work, make sure it is in by Tuesday. I want all of the work in, so I can show an accurate image of your mid mark grade.

Remember when we were talking about the satalite that is coming back towards earth? Here is an article about it.

Pictures for you

I guess the day got the best of me. I am just posting the pictures of those maps right now. There was a link under the picture. I hope you were able to use it.
It is 7:25pm. You should still be able to get this done, if you see this.
Maybe we will get a delay tomorrow?!?!

Quiz and Homework for tonight.

The quiz on friday deals with Topographic Maps, Scale, and Longitude and Latitude. The homework for tonight is the 5 questions on the back of the map I gave you today. If you lost your copy, you can get one here. If you look at the one posted online, you do not have to do the first part where it tells you to trace the map.

Scales

Today we worked on the scales for our maps. Your group came up with three scales and converted those measurements into other units. Many of the maps were very creative, and the scales worked well. Here are the questions for homework based on what you did today.

Remember that tomorrow you have a guided reading packet that is due. Part 1 Part 2

We will have a quiz that deals with scale, topographic maps (which we will cover tomorrow) as well as longitude and latitude.
