Science Classroom Connection

If any of you is unhappy with your earned test score on Chapter 4, Plate Tectonics, you will have the option to retake it. The retake consists of 22 multiple choice questions and six (6) short answers.

Rest well Monday night, and DO eat some breakfast in the morning on Tuesday since it is THE meal that gets you through the day, and not the lunch that is consumed by 10:47 am.

Students will be evaluated upon Chapter 4, Plate Tectonics that focuses on Inside the Earth, Restless Continents, The Theory of Plate Tectonics, and Deforming of the Earth’s Crust.

What to study? What to study? What to study?

1) Students are very highly recommended to study their created Cornell notes that have been supplemented by the teacher’s PowerPoint notes.

2) Students are to study the key concepts and ideas in the chapter that were selectively reinforced by the creation of the Frayer models.

3) Students are to study the end of each section because there are a series of reinforcement review questions to help them determine how well they understand the ideas and concepts in that section. Go over ALL of them in each section.

4) Students are to check the iblog for any previous attachments that are related to the chapter only, dating back to October 28, 2016 since the classroom teacher has informed the students that they are responsible for any posting and to stay up-to-date on the iblog postings.

Please see the attachment for your Cornell notes when you write out your questions since you need to utilize levels 2 and 3 at all times, and avoid level 1 as it lacks critical thinking on your part.

Students are free to login to their Google classroom and work on their PowerPoint assignment on Tectonic Plates that is due during Monday’s class period prior to dismissal.

Type the following web address into your web browser:

Note: Yesterday, Friday, SEVERAL of you were dilly-dallying as you were wasting your precious classroom time on your laptop. There will be NO extra time after Monday for those slackers as you know who you are! Get to it!! Otherwise, as it has become standard, LATE work drops your score one letter grade per day. Avoid “blowing” this fifteen (15) summative points evaluation as several of you can greatly benefit from earning these summative points on this assignment since Marking Period #2 ends in twelve (12) school days WITH THE CHAPTER TEST ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2016.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Students will be assigned a selected number of concepts and ideas to create a Frayer model upon each of them. The list includes:

crust; mantle; core; lithosphere; asthenosphere; mesosphere; tectonic plate; continental drift; sea-floor spreading; convergent boundary; divergent boundary; transform boundary; compression; tension; folding; fault; uplift; subsidence; rift zone; rebound

Students are advised to work and study the following attachments to better understand the Theory of Plate Tectonics.

After the test on Chapter 4, Sections 1 and 2, the students will have ample time to do the following reading and writing assignment:

Students will use their newly acquired skills on the application of the Cornell note-taking process to read, write, and learn about the three forces that are believed to move tectonic plates and be able to describe the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. Moreover, students will realize how scientists are able to measure the rate at which a tectonic plate moves over time.
