For the sixth grade class we have started our next unit and have begun to learn about mapping Earth's surface and the Earth systems. Try to share some information with people you know about the four Earth systems and how they interact with each other. I have been preparing for Outdoor Education and am really looking forward to our trip next week! I am excited for the information that we are going to be learning and the place that we get to learn it in!
In seventh grade, we have begun to discuss fossils and radioactive dating. We did a virtual lab on discovering half life for specific atoms. It is exciting when the concept of half life starts to make sense for the students. I look forward to talking more about the geologic time scale and how the Earth has changed over time with this class.
Eighth graders are working on a Google Trek Climate Zone project. They have created a Google map and have dropped pins with information about each of the 6 major climate zones. It is interesting walking around to them while they are working and seeing which places they have chosen to include on their projects. I look forward to seeing all of them next week! Pretty soon we will start our Space Science unit. I am really excited about this unit as the universe is such a vast area. This is one of my favorite units and I can't wait to share it with the students.
