Emmett's Elements

So far, so good...

We are moving right along into chapter 15, the atmosphere!  Make sure you are reviewing your notes over the composition of the atmosphere and air pressure.  Also, a warm-up check will be coming soon in class, so make sure you can find them easily.  Here are the upcoming assignments and daily activities through Thursday (Don't forget...TEST ON WEDNESDAY!):

Wednesday:
1.  We'll check workbook pages 177-181.  You need to have the right answers to use as a study guide.
2.  We are going to do a sample newspaper article on meteorology so that you have an example for your project.  Come to class ready to summarize!
3.  If time allows, we are going to watch Bill Nye teach us about air pressure.

Thursday:
1.  You will use a graphic organizer to take notes over the layers of the atmosphere.
2.  You will then draw a free form map over the layers.  This is HOMEWORK if not finished in class.  Due: Friday
