Science: 

Zoom: Tuesday, Sept. 8 and Thursday, Sept. 10. 11:00-11:30   

Unit 1 – Earth Science 

Topic 2 – Tsunamis & Engineering 

This week, we will learn how tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes.  Students will be introduced to the engineering process and apply it by designing model houses to withstand a tsunami. 

Throughout the week, students will complete different steps of the engineering process to plan, design, create, test, and improve their ideas.   

Specific assignment details can be found in MS Teams and the Class OneNote. 

Science Schedule & To Do List for Sept. 7-11 

Monday:  

-No school 

-Good opportunity to catch up on makeup work 

Tuesday:  

-Meet me on Zoom for our Lesson; Tsunami vocab, Engineering Process Notes

Weekly Update: Aug. 31 - Sept. 4

Science:

Zoom: Tuesday, Sept. 1 and Thursday, Sept. 3. 11:00-11:30 

Unit 1 – Earth Science

Topic 2 – Earthquakes

This week, we will study how the movement of Earth’s crust (known as tectonic plates) causes earthquakes.

Throughout the week, students will see how earthquakes are caused and how scientists predict and measure seismic activity.

Specific assignment details can be found in MS Teams and the Class OneNote.

Science Schedule & To Do List for Aug. 24-28

Monday:

-Earthquake “Virtual Field Trip” – Instructions in OneNote/Teams

Tuesday:

-Finish and turn in “Birthquake” assignment

Friday: *No School, but maybe a good catch up day!

Week of Aug. 24

Science:

Zoom: Tuesday, Aug. 25. and Thursday, Aug. 27. 11:00-11:30 

Unit 1 – Earth Science

Topic 1 – Earth’s Structure

This week, we will study the movement of Earth’s crust (known as tectonic plates).

Throughout the week, students should compare oceanic crust to continental crust, learn some background to the theory of plate tectonics, and study types of interactions along the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Specific assignment details can be found in MS Teams and the Class OneNote.

Science Schedule & To Do List for Aug. 24-28

Monday:

-Read “More About Earth’s Crust” page in OneNote and answer questions at the bottom

Tuesday:

-Meet me on Zoom for our Lesson; Note taking & Plate Tectonic Theory

-Finish Plate Tectonics questions in OneNote and turn in

 -On your own, watch the Plate Movement Video and complete the accompanying note catcher. Be sure to turn it in!

Wednesday:

-Start reading Types of Plate Boundaries & Slide, Slide & Collide: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/dynamicearth/tectonicsmap/index.html

-Complete the Types of Plate Boundaries Chart while you read

Thursday:

-Meet me on Zoom for our Lesson; Types of Boundaries Check In & Small Groups

-Continue working on Types of Plate Boundaries

Friday:

-Finish and turn in Types of Plate Boundaries

-Test Your Skills https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/dynamicearth/testskills/index.html and send me your results

Weekly Update - Aug. 17-21

Unit 1 – Earth Science

Topic 1 – Earth’s Structure

We will begin this topic with a review of Earth’s layers. Next, we will study the movement of Earth’s crust (known as tectonic plates).

By the end of this week, students should complete the Inside Earth readings and Earth Layers Diagram.  These are pages in the Class OneNote, and are also accessible through the Assignments section of MS Teams for Science 6 Cundari.  Once those are done, take the quiz!  This is a Microsoft Form that is accessible through the Assignments tab in Teams.
