PTT:
1) Open your notebook to pages 52 and 53
2) Check your notes with your partner - what did you each write down? Did you complete it? Is there anything else either of you need to add?
3) If you need to finish either of the pages, complete them now.
4) We will discuss what we know as a class
Task 1:
1) Let's discuss what we know as a class
2) Turn to page 54 in your notebook
3) Record the date
4) Title the page: Erosion Virtual Lab
5) Record the Goal Question: What variables affect how much soil is eroded by water?
Task 2: Erosion Virtual Lab
1) Get the "Erosion Virtual Lab" activity sheet from the basket
2) Open this link in a new tab: Virtual Lab Simulation
3) Watch as Ms. Davis explains how the virtual lab works
4) Now that you know how the lab works, try out different variations on your own. You will need to collect data on the activity sheet.
Task 3:
Complete the Claim-Evidence-Reasoning prompt based on the data you collected.
Task 4: 1) Go to the following website - http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/rocks-minerals-landforms/weathering-and-erosion.htm 2) Play the video 3) When finished click on the "Test Yourself" button 4) Complete the 7 question quiz 5) take a screenshot of your score and show me (try to beat me). 6) If finished before others, check out the links to "landforms" and "soil" at the bottom of the page- both of these are applicable to our unit!
Task 5: 1) Use the following templates to draw concept maps on Weathering and Erosion - draw these on p. 55 (Title p. 55: Concept Maps) 2) add drawings, colour etc. to help you remember!
If you want, use these templates when making your concept maps:
Closure:
Answer the goal question at the bottom of p. 54
Week 11, Day 2 (only for P1)
PTT:
1) Share your work from yesterday
2) Discuss weathering and erosion concept maps
Task 1:
1) Update table of contents
2) Make sure you have highlighted necessary information and have colored all diagrams
Task 2:
1) Open your notetaker from the Arq. Oscar Bulnes presentation
2) We want to have the answers to the following questions in our notes for when we come back from the trip and for when we do the Huasteca Project Alternative Assessment
Questions:
a) Why does Arq. Oscar Bulnes not consider the Rio Santa Catarina a river?
b) What have we done to "disrespect" the river?
c) What is that bad?
d) How was Rompepicos built?
e) How does the water pass through? How fast does it go?
f) How has the time period between hurricanes changed?
g) During Hurricane Alex, the water did not cause all the damage, so what did?
h) How much water was held back by Rompepicos during/after Hurricane Alex?
i) What would have happened during Hurricane Alex if there were no Rompepicos?
j) What should we do to prevent future problems?
k) How does the speed of the water in Rio Santa Catarina compare to rivers where the water always flows?
l) Why was flooding so bad during Hurricane Alex if Rompepicos was there?
m) Has Rompepicos ever broken?
