Today in class, students in integrated science began work on learning about relative motion. This is a tricky topic, so we had several examples and walked out what the problems were showing. Students then tried the first problem on the  Relative Motion and Frame of Reference Worksheet, and then continued work on that sheet and the Relative Motion Practice Problems 2 . Students will whiteboard their examples tomorrow in class.

Science 8 students had their common assessment today, which took most of class. However, students who finished were able to check some feedback in their journals over yesterday’s observations, and then they read an article called the Earth Movers Article . Students then completed the following tasks. “In your notebook, please make a section for Earth Movers, and answer the following questions as you read. 1) Define Weathering    2) Define Erosion   3) List all examples weathering and erosion from the article. Label them as either weathering or erosion.”
