5/9 Earth Science Class and recording

Hi folks,

This week we spend the day reviewing the year.  We covered a ton of stuff this year from atoms and molecules to suns and solar systems!  

Next week is the final exam so no homework this week other than studying for the final.  Let me know if you have any questions or need any help with any topics.

I couldn't get a video of today's class since my camera is acting up but here is a recording of similar material from a different Earth Science class.

5/7 Earth Science Recording - Review of the Year

4/30 Earth Science update and homework due 5/7

Hi folks,

This week we took some time to attempt to make a scale model of the solar system.  It turns out it's REALY big!

For homework this week:

Read pages 688-713 in the text.

Do questions on page 718 #'s 1 - 15

Extra credit.  Make a solar system model.  3 points extra credit if you make the solar system to scale (like we did today).  Another 3 points extra credit if you make the planets to scale.  AND another 5 POINTS extra credit if you make both the planets AND orbits to scale!   (You may want to not include the Sun for this.)  Feel free to take a picture of what you've created if it's too big to bring to class.  Your scale has to be at least 2 lengthwise sheets of paper long (you can barely see the differences in the inner planets if it's smaller than that).  This website will help you to calculate the sizes of the planets and sizes of the orbits. Remember, for extra credit you just need to turn it in before the end of the trimester so it doesn't need to be by next class session.   Have fun!!

Another try at the quizzes.

Apparently some folks can't get the quizzes to open so here's another attempt.  Here's hoping this one works.

Earth Science Quizzes

Whoops, these two guys hid on my desktop and didn't get into the folder.  Here you go.

Earth Science Quiz PDF's

Sorry folks.  I thought I had converted the last batch into .pdf's for you but it didn't work.

Hopefully this is a better batch.
