This Week in Earth Science: October 12 - 16

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week will begin by listening to McDonald Observatory's StarDate Astronomy Radio Program and recording the data on a record sheet.
• Oceanography Vocab is due on Monday. Some Vocab Bingo will be happenin' too. Students will then be introduced to the work of oceanographer Jacques Cousteau through music and video.
• The Astronomy Test from last week will be reviewed Tuesday. Students will complete an oceanography map in preparation for a quiz on Friday.
Wednesday is the final day for the StarDate Record Sheet which will be collected and graded. Students will learn how to identify marine molluscs using a dichotomous key in a lab today.
• A new warm-up will be assigned Thursday, the Tidal Record Sheet. The portable laptop lab will be in class for students to research currents in the Atlantic Ocean.
Friday is the day for the Oceanography Map Quiz. More time will be spent on the laptops researching Atlantic Currents.
Disclaimer: The Honors Earth Science Class will follow a slightly different plan than what is presented above.
