« 3 Planets to line up. | Main | Week of January 8th »

This week we have been reviewing continental drift and plate tectonics. There will be a test on Friday covering chapter 4 and it is our last grade of this nine weeks.

Next week, now that the pod casts have been downloaded onto my computer, we will be finishing up those and the presentations.

I am hoping to send home a progress report next week to give you an update. I will be letting you know conduct grades as well. I know the students are excited about the holiday but they have been talking excessively since Thanksgiving.

I have attached a copy of the latest quiz. Please take a look at it and discuss the importance of listening to directions with your children. Many did not pay attention or were just in a hurry and their grade reflects it.

Thank you all for your support and emails.

Sincerely,
Carol Sumrell

4. What part did the white of the egg represent? The yolk?
5. Where inside the earth does the heat originate?

Using the pictures below, tell what type(s) of heat transfer are taking place and describe that part of the picture where you see that particular heat transfer.
