Seafloor features

Today students started class with a jump in designed to get them up, moving, and learning about the other kids in class. Questions had to do with if kids are on time, if they pack their lunch, and more. It also got them more familiar with kids in the class that they may not know.

We watched a powerpoint about plastic bags and how almost ninety percent of them are not recycled and quite a lot of them end up blowing and floating around the environment where they look gross but also pose a hazard to wildlife. Most students do not think about where their garbage ends up. If you'd like to see the presentation - click here. For more information about plastics in the ocean - check out this info from the Ocean Conservancy.


Today in notes we covered sea floor features. We discussed the definitions and identified them on maps and then answered some questions. Test yourself - can you identify the features to the right?

Students finished class by using their vocabulary in a creative story and watching some BluePlanet about the deep sea features we discussed in class.

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.
