Dead Zones and Maps

Today students learned about dead zones by reading a newspaper article and watching a video. Dead zones occur in the Chesapeake Bay. Dead zones are so named because they have very little dissolved oxygen which is bad for fish and other wildlife. We also watched an online video to learn more information.

Students practiced latitude and longitude skills with a world map and then challenged themselves to locate places around the globe that are in the news or that we will be discussing later in the semester.

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
