Today I collected your rock density labs (part one and part two) and we went over the analysis together, then we finished book work from yesterday.

Then we started on the conversions for the project we will be working on next week:  scale model of the earth.

Draw a picture of Earth and label all its layers.

Today I checked off your science fair data (sorry no late work - if you were absent bring it to me as soon as you get back). I also collected the density vocab that was due today.

Then we worked on an assignment from the red textbook in our classroom. Read pp. 190-196 then answer #1-11 on pg. 197.

Journal:

1. A student shakes a jar with a mixture of sand and gravel types.  Instead of mixing, the sand grains separate into layers.  Why?
2. In the spring, rivers in Utah are often brown in color because they contain very small particles of sediment called silt.  Why is silt suspended in the water?

Today we did Part 2 of the Rock Density Lab. You can use materials from home if you were absent today.

I also handed out your new I can statements and assigned the vocab as homework due Monday 11/23.

HW: Vocab from new I can statements, data due 11/23; presentation board due 12/2
