Today in integrated science class, students continued to present and debate through the answers to the   Relative Motion and Frame of Reference Worksheet and Relative Motion Practice Problems 2. Students in period 1 were also able to determine a pattern that existed in the problems. Tomorrow, students will have a check for understanding over the concept of relative motion, and we will then being our first lab.

Students in science 8 were assigned a computer number and then received some feedback about their notebooks. Afterwards, we identified and defined the three processes responsible for changing creek shapes, and then we observed a simulation of the processes on a stream table. Over the next few days, groups will work to devise small experiments to conduct on the stream tables to determine what affects weathering, erosion, and deposition, and then we’ll share the information we learn. Using all the information, students will be asked to determine safe and unsafe investment choices when picking from houses that are on different riverbanks.

HOMEWORK: Make sure you have a graphing notebook. Turn in all paperwork!
