Apr+11-15

We are embarking on a new chapter and topic...the Earth's Atmosphere! This is the final chapter before we take the CST tests. We have a lot of studying to do. But, I know all of you have the potential to do great and become masters of this material.
 * Tuesday**

OPENER: [|The Atmosphere] Read through the website focusing on layers of the atmosphere. Be ready to share your findings with the class.

It's movie time! Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill... After the movie is finished you will need to complete the Atmosphere Web Quest. Get into groups of three to complete this assignment. You have thirty minutes to get this completed and then it is due. Work together and work fast. WEB QUEST: [|AtmosphereLayersComputerLab.pages] or [|AtmosphereLayersComputerLab.doc]

You will complete these notes out of class unless you get everything else done. Please have them done before class on Thursday. NOTES: [|6.1 Atmosphere Characteristics.pages] or KEYNOTE: [|6.1 Characteristics Atmosphere.key]

Now that we are finished with the notes let's make a poster. I want all of you to make a poster describing the layers of the Earth's atmosphere. You are to create a graphic that shows the layers of the Earth's atmosphere and describe a little about each one with callouts or text boxes.
