Maps

After finishing their safety tests, students finished up the longitude and latitude from the day before. Then students worked in groups on map skills, labeling parts, and a scavenger hunt of places around the world that I feel they should be familiar with.

To finish up class, we discussed currents and watched a video clip about currents and some of the ways that scientists study them - by tracking cargo that is lost overboard and washes up on shores around the world. We will discuss this in more detail tomorrow.

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.
