This Week in Earth Science: October 26 - 30

Each day this week will begin by recording tidal data from http://www.dairiki.org/tides/.
Monday will feature tidal demos & animation as well as slides & an outline about Olympic National Park in Washington State. An article summary ("How much are coral ecosystems worth?") will be assigned that is due on Wednesday.
• On Tuesday students will draw and label a Hydrothermal Vent diagram in preparation for Friday's quiz. If it's sunny during class on Tuesday as the weather forecast is predicting, time will spent testing the Sun Clock projects outside.
• There will be a coral reef video on Wednesday. Students will be answering questions about coral reefs afterwards.
Thursday will feature a video on the Ocean Deep. Students will be recording facts as they watch the film.
• The Hydrothermal Vent Quiz will be held on Friday. More of the Ocean Deep Video will be shown after the quiz.
Disclaimer: The Honors Earth Science Class will follow a slightly different plan than what is presented above.
