Hello!

 

Students have been researching a fictional, mythical, or made-up creature. They have been tasked to use their knowledge of Climate Zones to prove where in the world they think their creature would live.  They are presenting this week.

Hello!

 

Last week, students found the climate for different states in the USA. This week, students will learn about the 5 different climate zones. They will also learn how meteorologists show and collect data for climate, weather, and temperature of an area. 

 

Here is a video that discusses the 5 different climates. https://youtu.be/Kp7ZhvJXrMc?feature=shared

Hello,

 

This week students will start and complete a research project on one of three natural disasters; volcano, earthquake, and Tsunami. Students will be creating a power point on their natural disaster based on their notes and research.

 

Mrs. Lounsbury  

Hello!

 

This week, we will be connecting natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes, with tectonic plate boundaries. I have added in a video that will go over some of the information we will be discussing.
