Students will be able to:
use information from videos from the internet, supplementary texts, and classroom discussions to
-model the layers of the atmosphere.
-compare and contrast the different layers of the atmosphere.
-describe how the composition and structure of the atmosphere protects life and insulates the planet.
The do now was to calculate the thickness of each layer of the atmosphere:
Troposphere begins at ground level, extends up 10 km:
Stratosphere, from troposphere to 50 km;
Mesosphere, extends from stratosphere to 80 km;
Thermosphere, from mesosphere to 700 km;
Exosphere from thermosphere to 800 km
Students reviewed home learning 6.
Students reviewed what is necessary for notebook check 1. Students should have ALL pages pasted in, which includes inside front and back cover, pages 1, 5-10 and a-o. They should have table of contents completed, and paste in the last page of the table of contents. All notes should be done, including the three questions, the highlighted answers, and the summary at the bottom of the page. All home learnings should be pasted in. FInally, they should teach one of the concepts to an adult, and have the adult write what they learned on page K of the notebook, and sign in the appropriate place.
Students watched a BrainPop on the Earth's Atmosphere.
Students then worked in their groups to find information for each layer of the atmosphere.
The home learning is to get the notebook ready.
Since I have not posted pages a-o before, please look under Saturday, 18 September, 2010 to find all pages a-o.
