Science+Lesson+Mar+15-19


 * 1) Mon: Benchmarks
 * 2) Do Now:
 * Tue-Fri: Copy your homework in 11 below.
 * Tue-Wed: Review you graphic organizers on the two models of the Earth and explain why are the densest materials are found in the innermost layers. Your response must include examples of materials from in the inner most and outermost layers.
 * Thur-Fri: As directed, the constructed response comparing and contrasting the three types of tectonic plate boundaries.
 * 1) Whole class Instruction: Review and explain key concepts from last week's self-guided lesson using manipulatives.
 * 2) Did you complete your graphic organizers on the layers of the Earth? If not, complete them using your hard copy textbook, pages 96-99. Note: If you do not have your graphic organizers, download the files and print copies.

 * 1) Did you complete the plate tectonics scavenger hunt? If not, go to the ATEP link and complete the activity. If you do not have your scavenger hunt hand-out, download the file and print copies.
 * Link: [|Plate Tectonics Animations- Scavenger Hunt]
 * Hand-out: [|Plate Tectonics Scavenger Hunt.pdf]
 * 1) Open the powerpoint presentation and complete sections 1 through 4. Read all notes before beginning the powerpoint presentation:
 * Note 1: Stop after each section.
 * Note 2: After completing each section, view the videos and animations assigned to the section (see below) to assist in understanding key concepts/objectives.
 * Note 3: After each section, you must go back to your learning objectives at the beginning of the powerpoint and answer them in your notebook. I strongly suggest that you draw illustrations and label them for key concepts such as types of boundaries and types of faults.
 * Note 4: Make sure you view the powerpoint in "slide show view"!
 * Note 5: After viewing the powerpoint and assigned animations/videos, be prepared to either explain one of the concepts you learned or identify a concept that you don't fully understand.
