Weekend Review;

This week we reviewed the layers of Earth’s interior, seafloor spreading, subduction and the differences between oceanic and continental crust. Next week we will review mantle convection and begin building our Earth’s interior and Plate tectonics Model.

Content Objective;

• I can compare and contrast different types of crust. I can also explain the difference between different convergent boundaries.

In class;

• We discussed the seafloor spreading model questions. Read p. 480-485 in the green text and completed a fact swap. Fact Swap
• Video: Bill Nye Seafloor spreading

Homework;

• No homework

Reminders;

Content Objective;

• I can create a model of seafloor spreading and use it to explain how mantle convection is connected to the sinking of oceanic crust at subduction zones.

Homework;

• Finish seafloor spreading if necessary. seafloor-spreading-1-scan seafloor-spreading-questions2-scan seafloor-spreading-model-3-scan

Reminders;

Content Objective;

• I can use evidence to prove continental drift is true.

Homework;

Reminders;

• No school tomorrow

Content Objective;

• I can use evidence to prove continental drift is true.

Homework;

• Test corrections are due Monday, November 7th correct-test-corrections

Reminders;

• Register your student for the 8th grade trip! 2017-parent-letter-1 2017-parent-letter-2 2017-schedule

Weekend Review;

This week we discussed how heat transfers through conduction, convection and radiation. We also learned about the evidence supporting continental drift. Attached is an interactive map where students can move the continents to see how they have shifted since Pangaea to present day.
