Thursday, 9 and Friday, 10 December, 2010
Students will be able to:
use information from online sites and classroom discussion to
-differentiate between erosion and deposition.
-explain how the agents of erosion shape/reshape the earth.
Students explored the effects and causes of water erosion by accessing a Discovery Learning virtual lab. The lab can be found by accessing your Discovery Learning account. Paste the following URL address into your browser window and then sign in.
Remember, your user name is:
miami_youridnumber (miami underscore your id number with NO spaces anywhere!)
Your password is:
youridnumber_miami (your id number underscore miami with NO spaces anywhere)!
Then, click GO.
Click the tab for Assignment Resources (third tab) and click the link for Erosion, Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. Use the handouts supplied in class (or print your own from the additional materials tab) to complete both levels.
There was no home learning.

The do now was an FCAT transparency.
Students completed the kinetic city activity, which can be found as a link on Dr. Gayden's Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com). Click the link for Monday, 6 December, 201 For Sixth Graders to access the activity.
Students then visited the Discovery Education site to do an activity on erosion. The results were recorded in their notebooks.
There was no home learning, but there will be a mini assessment tomorrow (postponed from yesterday).

Watched a BrainPop movie on erosion.
Students then took notes on erosion and deposition:
Erosion, the transfer of weathered sediment, always involves deposition, or the deposit of the weathered sediment in a new location. Along with weathering, erosion and deposition are responsible for the continual reshaping of the Earth's surface. Sediment is constantly being worn down by some type of weathering, carried away by an agent of erosion and deposited in a different place. Landslides are actually a very extreme, fast-acting method of erosion: They transfer sediment down a slope and deposit it at the end of their path. The sediment a landslide deposits is known as its talus.
The five agents of erosion are wind, water, glaciers, waves and gravity. Gravity is the underlying agent of all types of mass movement. Without the force of gravity to pull sediment down an incline, a landslide would not occur. But any of the other four agents can also play a part.

Thursday, 2 and Friday, 3December, 2010
This is HL 8, all to be done on one sheet of loose leaf, properly headed paper.
Students will be able to:
use information from laboratory experiments and classroom discussion to
-compare/contrast physical and chemical weathering.
The do now on Thursday was an FCAT transparency.
The do now on Friday was a quiz on Chemical and Mechanical Weathering.
Students submitted and reviewed HL 7 and received HL 8, which can be found at the top of this blog.
Students completed the questions from the Glencoe virtual lab on weathering. To access the lab, visit Dr. Gayden's Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com) and scroll down to Monday, 22 November, 2010 for 6th graders only. Click the Glencoe link to access the lab. Before you begin, copy the table into your notebook. Complete the table as you work through the activity. Finally, answer all the journal questions.
Those who completed the activity began the vocabulary word activity.
Students are reminded to bring their 3 rock samples in tomorrow.
