This week we will be taking notes on the layers of the Earth. There will be a test at the beginning of next week (I am currently thinking the 18th) where the students need to draw, label, and describe each of the layers.
After we finish with the notes on the layers we ill look further into plate movement and what we can learn from the spreading of the sea floor. (Jason Project pages 100-102 if you want to have your child show you online.) We will talk about the types of plate boundaries, mid-ocean ridges, rifts, and the Theory of Plate Tectonics. This should take us to the end of this week, maybe into the beginning of next. When we are done with this section we will have our first lab of the year.
For the lab I do need something like a metal pizza holder, think of the ones at restaurants where they have the lit candle under the pizza to keep it warm. If you have one you could lend me next week or know where I could get one, it would be greatly appreciated.
