Students: Per our class discussion today, we’ll be having a short quiz on Lesson 5, in Unit 8.6 that focuses on why natural hazard events occur in some places but not in others. As a reminder, remember to review the notes of the lesson that includes the takeaways, along with the student guide handout that includes how an earthquake machine works and the three short videos based on plate tectonics.

Use the appropriate web link for your State below for gathering the necessary information and/or data. Answer the appropriate questions for your natural hazard event.

Students, there were 26% A’s (13 students) and B’s (21 students) with a whole bunch of C’s. If you scored between 12.5 and 14, you earned a C.

Overall, we can do better, since many of the B’s should have nailed the A, and many of the C’s should have reached the B level.

Many of you failed to express the unit running theme in your closing argument, and that was worth 2 summative points.

Ask yourself: How many times did we mention it, not to mention, how many times have we had it on our bellwork?

Do you think you should know it for the Unit 8.6 test toward the end of March 2020?

After a careful study of our remaining sections for Lesson 4, it appears that there is only one more new concept to learn in this lesson that we can simply pick up on this coming Monday or Tuesday.

Our remaining focus in this lesson will be a C.E.R. that we have been practicing upon for the past several months, as well as we’ll be carrying out a data analysis in our packet to assist the governor of your assigned state.

Since the key ideas and main concepts will have been discussed sufficiently by Tuesday, we will be able to handle our test on Lessons 3 and 4 this coming Thursday.

A word of caution: Besides needing to review your material in the next five (5) calendar days, the classroom teacher highly recommends that you show up on Thursday, because should you be absent on test day, your makeup test of a different format will be scheduled for Friday, February 28, 2020, after school, which is fifteen (15) calendar days after our regular test, due to our Mid-Winter Break. Now, should you have already been planning on being absent this coming Thursday for whatever reason, then you need to arrange with your classroom teacher for you to show up on test day at 7:05 am to take the same test, with a 45-minute block up to 7:50 am, and then you are free to leave the building. If you are planning to be out of town and it is not possible for you to take the test at 7:05 am on Thursday, then your only other option is Friday, February 28, 2020.

Decide carefully and good luck!

Firefighters in Australia have been battling the bushfires for months.

(CNN)Firefighters battling Australia’s devastating wildfires are getting some help from the weather in New South Wales.Here’s how to help Australia bushfire victimsHeavy rains have knocked back the number of active fires in the state by almost a third — in just one day, according to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.There had been 62 active fires Wednesday night, with 20 not contained, according to the agency.That number dropped to 42 active fires by Thursday night, and only 17 not contained.”Today we were over the moon to see rain arrive across many parts of New South Wales, with decent fall in the State’s north. Fingers crossed we see this rainfall remain steady and reach the firegrounds in Southern NSW over the weekend,” officials wrote on Facebook.

Some 1,200 firefighters and support personnel were working to take advantage of the rainy conditions, they said.Some areas got about 4 to 6 inches (100 to 150 mm) of rain in 24 hours, and more rain was in the forecast for the southeastern coast of Australia.Rescued koalas named for fallen American firefightersA wide zone, from Brisbane down to Melbourne, could also get 4 to 6 inches of rain over the next several days, and there is a high risk of flooding this week, especially in coastal areas, the Bureau of Meteorology warns.Wildfires have killed more than 20 people and destroyed millions of acres of land since the fire season began in July. More than 1 billion animals have been killed across Australia, ecologists at the University of Sydney estimate.

CNN Meteorologist Haley Brink contributed to this story.
