2nd Quarter: December 12 - 16


Monday, December 12th

Today in class.....
  • Today we finsihed up a lot of little things. After a basic review of some of our ocean features (waves, currents, structures, etc...), we looked back at our sonar lab. 
  • Afterwards, we talked a bit about the layers of the ocean and life that live there. 
  • We learned that while most of the ocean uses energy from the sun through photosynthesis - another class of objects down on the ocean floor use the elements and energy from hydrothermal vents to survive.

Wednesday, December 14th

Today in class....
  • Today we didn't have a ton of time due to clubs, but I did finally collect the Ocean in a Box Lab. 
  • Afterwards, we started to look at coastline features. We'll finish up these stations next class. 
HOMEWORK: Article Reviews (instructions are attached to Monday's assignments)

Friday, December 16th

Today in class....
  • Today we finished our shoreline features worksheet. It's all about the balance between erosion and deposition to create some of the natural features we see and how our man-made features can sometimes destroy that balance. 
  • Afterwards, we talked briefly about the idea of estuaries - these are often nurseries or breeding grounds for many different species. 
  • To finish class, we watched the Planet Earth episode on Deep Oceans. We'll finish up the last little bit hopefully on Tuesday. Enjoy your weekend!
