This is HL #4


This is HL #5

Students will be able to:
use information from videos 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.

The do now was a quick write: Have you every had a sunburn? How did you get it? How did it feel? If you haven't why not?

Students first completed the Mexican Jumping Bean activity on heat transfer by writing their conclusions and analysis.

They then received home learnings 4 and 5, which can be found at the top of this blog. They should be done on separate sheets of loose leaf notebook paper.

Students discussed the effects of global warming, brought about by the effects of global warming due to the Greenhouse Effect by looking at a picture of a glacial break four times the size of Manhattan island in NY.

Students watched a BrainPop movie on the ozone layer and discussed the content.

Students also received the remainder of the pages for the interactive notebook. Because the pages are so numerous, they will be posted on a separate day (Saturday, 11 September, 2010). If you loose them, you can check that date to print out new ones. I will stay after school this Thursday to help anyone needing help assembling their notebook.
