This is HL #6. Be sure to head your loose leaf paper correctly! Answers only!

Students will be able to:
use information from the internet, supplementary texts, and classroom discussions to
-observe and infer relationships between UV light and radiation.
-analyze the effect of UV light and radiation on humans.
-describe the ways human beings protect themselves from hazardous weather and conditions.
-evaluate the effects of the loss of ozone on the environments of the earth.

Students received an electromagnetic spectrum chart. They were told to identify the type of electromagnetic wave, along with its frequency and wavelength, that causes sunburn.

Science fair plans were collected and will be returned on Monday.

Students then went to DrGCDMS6.podomatic.com to find the online activity that corresponds with this lesson. They were told to save the earth by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases found in the atmosphere.

Students recorded any new and important information as they learned about reduction of gases.

Students will do home learning 6 as their nightly home learning stop. You can find the handout at the top of this blog. Be sure to write on loose leaf paper, follow all written directions, and write only the answers.
