Global Warming Wheel

March 6th and 7th

CW:  Global Warming
HW:  Electricity Use and Carbon Dioxide

Today in class you will make a global warming wheel.  The global warming wheel car id a hand-held tool that you can use to estimate your household's emissions of carbon dioxide and learn how to reduce them.   After making the wheel, we will do some practice questions to learn how to use the wheel. We will then finish our notes on global warming and climate change.  

I will collect your classwork and homework from last Thursday and Friday!

Layers of the Atmosphere

March 2nd and 3rd

CW: Layers of the Atmosphere
HW:  Layers Activity

Today in class we will learn more about the different layers of the atmosphere. You will begin with a short youtube video about the layers and then read a short passage giving more specifics about each layer.  We will then work to create a graph that plots the different temperatures at each layer.

After finishing that activity we will take some notes on the different gases that cause the greenhouse effect.  If you are looking for this part because you were absent, make sure that you start on the slide after day one.  Here is the guided notes that go along with the google slides.

For homework complete layers of the atmosphere activity.   You will need to use the graph we did in class and it might be helpful to look at this website on the atmosphere.

Today students are finishing their lab stations from last Thursday and Friday. I will give them back their genetics test today.  They are not allowed to take them home because the test will be in their portfolio; however, anyone with an 80% or lower can retake it on Thursday and Friday of this week during recess.
