Yesterday we took our summative.  Students should get the results back tomorrow.  Today and tomorrow we are watching a video, Dante's Peak, in which students will analyze certain scenes and determine whether those scenes are factual or fictional.
Hope you all have a wonderful Spring Break!

QUIZLET link for Continental Drift

Students read through statements and had to determine whether the statements were evidence to support the idea of continents moving or not.  They also needed to complete a worksheet that discusses the idea of continental drift, who developed the idea, and evidence that supports the idea.

Tuesday and Wednesday March 6-7

The students have used the last couple of days to learn some evidence that supports the idea that continents have moved over time.  Below is the activity and an example of what students should have written in their notebooks.

Today we continued creating a Geologic Timeline.  Students are using a website that condenses Earth's history into 24 hours.  The directions are posted below.  The link to the website is also posted.
