17 Nov: Phantom Time: Formative Assessment Classwork: Map project is due – grade in class. 18 Nov: 3-4:30pm Today – Enviro Club in my room 7:30am to 8:25 am AMC8 Math test with Mrs. Morford. Selected students only. Log: Look at the maps on the back of these plans and explain what you see in each map and how it uses the concepts of Volcanology, Seismicity, Sea-Floor Plate Age, and Topography to support the current version of Plate Tectonics Theory. Classwork: Movie – finish part 1 of “How the Earth Was Made” video, Part 1, with PPT review questions about Wegener and Plate Tectonics. Use comprehensive maps from the laminated map activity to ask questions and determine students’ level of understanding of the concepts relating Volcanology, Seismicity, Plate Age, and Topography to their support of the current model of Plate Tectonics Theory. Due: Late Map Projects Homework: Explain how it is that the density of the crust and the sea floor accounts for the creation of mountains like the Rockies and Sierra Nevada Mountains, then compare that to how the Appalachians, Atlas, and Urals were formed – due tomorrow. 19 Nov: Phantom Time: Show the Hallway Behavior Lesson during Phantom Time – data to Mrs. Postel. Classwork: Discuss last night’s homework. Make Cootie Catchers to review plate tectonics and to ensure that students can explain the different types of boundary interactions. Mr. C grades your graphs, then we discuss them to prep for the lab (delayed to 1 Dec due to student absences and the holiday). Due: Graphs for the Density of Continental and Oceanic Crust Lab. 20 Nov: Log: The US and Africa are moving apart at 2.8cm/year. Assuming uniformitarianism, and the fact that we think the continents were pressed together 250-270 million years ago (mya or ma), how far apart should the continents be at this time? Calculate this – show your work! (don’t forget that the plates are still touching, the Atlantic sea floor is just spreading apart at its rift valley and new sea floor is solidifying from magma bubbling up to form the mid-Atlantic ridge). Classwork, Part 1: How are hot spots used to track plate motion? Draw a picture to explain your answer, and reference Hawaii in the answer as well. Classwork, Part 2: Tie up loose ends, hand out tomorrow’s work with next week’s review sheet attached as the last 2 pages. Students can start the review today in class. 21 Nov: Log: Use Google Earth to determine the current distance between Africa and the US to decide if the 2.8cm/year plate seafloor spreading number matches well with 250-270 mya estimate of the start of the breakup of the northern and southern parts of Pangaea. Classwork/Homework: Complete Plate Tectonics internet activity in Lab 3 (room 227). If time permits, play Pangaea review game at www.reviewgamezone.com – game # 11777. You can also review by going to this website to play the Pangaea game http://www.purposegames.com/game/2321. Then use the same site play the following games: Plate Tectonics and Earth Layers. 24 Nov: Jeopardy game for test review. 
25 Nov: Due to band (21 students absent) and early vacation/illness (12 students absent), today is a review day for students who are present to complete the review sheet (last part of last week’s computer lab exercise) and use the laptops with Quizlet in class for test review as well. YBTC Club – Meets on Dec 2 and Dec 17 from 3-4pm Enviro club dates: 4 Dec (Thurs), 9 Dec, 16 Dec 1 Dec: Put up maps – with staples!!!! Tape takes the paint off of the walls! Log: What is has our claim been when we talk about the densities of granitic and basaltic crusts? Classwork: Finish the Granite and Basalt Density Lab. Use this spreadsheet to share data to finish our lab: http://bit.ly/1y4aakM (sheet has been shared with LPS address of at least one member of each lab group in each class) Due: Analysis questions from page one of the density lab we completed today – you should do them in class today. I will collect them after the test or on Wed, if needed. Vocab: Density, core sample, section, interval, basalt, granite, limestone, sandstone, gneiss, schist, metamorphic rock, igneous rock. Homework: Finish the Quizlet review for plate tectonics (Mr C’s MACAT Approved Plate Tectonics) Also, answer #22 and 26-31 on page 216 (no need to write these questions down) Bring your textbook today! 2 Dec: Collect funds for Blanket Activity Classwork: Plate Tectonics Test. Classwork/Homework: Read section 7.1 and take notes without using the RSG – due Friday Vocab: Fault, fault plane, normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault, stress, shear 3 Dec: Collect funds for Blanket Activity Put up maps – with staples!!!! Tape takes the paint off of the walls! Log: Fall Colors – last look: http://www.fs.fed.us/fallcolors/2014/index.shtml Classwork: Complete viewing of these videos: “Greatest Discoveries” video, part 1 (7 min) and part 2 (10 Min - saved in my United Streaming acct) - With questions. Classwork/Homework: Earthquake graphing chart (labs, for Fri) Vocab: Fault, fault plane, normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault, stress Due: Analysis questions from the lab on Monday (last chance) 4 Dec: P and S wave lab – complete entire lab in class Homework: Finish lab as needed for tomorrow. Bring your textbook and RSG today! 5 Dec: PLC Day – Short Classes Log: Compare your Earthquake graphing chart with the 4 people in your normal group. Summarize what you see, and be prepared to read that summary aloud. Classwork: Using your notes on 7.1, complete the 7.1 RSG – don’t look at other people’s notes, and don’t use the book. This is a way to see if you are getting the important info out of the book and not taking too few or too many notes. Discuss types of faults and relate them to tectonic plate boundaries (my notes + Elmo). Due: Notes on 7.1 – Earthquakes, P and S wave lab. Vocab: Fault, fault plane, normal fault, reverse fault, strike-slip fault, stress, shear 8 Dec: Log: 7.1 review – from textbook Begin fault lab – obtain the plates (wood blocks) and draw as many different pictures as possible to illustrate how the plates can move in relationship to one another. Old plans from 2 years ago
Dec: Log: VIEW the following graph to determine which rocks have the lowest and highest amounts of Silica (Si) in them and start to relate it to the continental crust vs. oceanic crust (we’ll complete the chart together). Note that Andesite is named after the Andes Mountains that are found on continental crust in South America (Info taken from http://www.geology.sdsu.edu/how_volcanoes_work/Controls.html )
Use this USGS info to talk about Hawaii lava flow: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/maps/ Lava image for right now on Hawaii: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/maps/uploads/image-177.jpg Notes: The three main controlling factors on explosivity -- viscosity, temperature, and the amount of dissolved gases in the magma. Vocab: Silica content, shield volcano, mafic, felsic, viscosity. Also, in a sense, viscosity is the inverse of fluidity – another new vocab word. 19 Dec 2014: Make blankets for charity and eat snacks in my room all day, with Mr. Senecal’s classes. Homework: Seriously? What does the word “vacation” mean? Enjoy your time off and come back ready to work! 7 Jan 2013 HAPPY NEW YEAR, WELCOME BACK! Classwork: “How the Earth was Made” – Part 1, with discussion – link: http://documentaries-plus.blogspot.com/2011/02/how-earth-was-made.html Vocab: Stromatolite, protoplanet, cataclysm Classwork: “How the Earth was Made” – Part 2, with discussion – end at roughly 45 minute mark Vocab/details: Rift, volcanism, banded iron formations (BIF – like northern Michigan). Rodinia (1.0 Ga = 1.0 bya), snowball earth (700 Ma = 700 mya or .7 Ga ago – it ended 630 Ma ago when Rodinia broke apart). Cambrian explosion of life, ozone layer as UV shield 400 Ma ago, removal of iron from the oceans – oceans turn blue, removal of CO2 from the atmosphere – replaced by oxygen – sky turns blue, formation of an oxygen atmosphere, coprolite
