Today in integrated science, periods 1 and 2 were introduced to the concepts of distance and displacement. Distance is total length traveled, and displacement is overall length traveled. Students in period 1 then received some overview of graphing and formula writing for their homework, which is the math models ws. Students in period 2 collected data today and will be analyzing the data tomorrow to determine speed and to write a mathematical model of the work they have done.
Students in science 8 took their retakes of the glacier quiz today, and then continued work on the COASTAL GEOLOGIST PROJECT, which will be due next Friday (September 23). Students should conduct research by reading over articles such as Global Warming’s Mark: Coastal Inundation and A Strategic Retreat from the Ocean at a Cape Cod Landmark, as well as those listed on the website for the project. Alaska Town being eroded away and the video on youtube we watched in class yesterday would be helpful as well. Students need a write a short summary of where their group is int he project, as well as a proposal letting me know what they’re going to do, so I can comment and give feedback.
