Today we reviewed the essential characteristics of the crust, lithosphere, aesthenosphere, mesophere, mantle, outer core, and inner core. I also showed them more images that showed the temperatures and the layer boundaries, the depths and thickness of each layer, as well as the composition of each layer. The homework is to read chapter 4.2 in the text and to answer the review questions at the end of the chapter, and the workbook chapter 4.2. Tomorrow their is very short quiz just on the different layers of the Earth's core. We reviewed extensively today for this so everyone should do well. Take care, and see you tomorrow, Mr. Woolsey.

Today we reviewed some of the problem questions that some students had on the chapter 8 test. We next viewed two images that showed the difference between the different layers, their composition, their function, their temperature, and their thickness. I then showed an example of the what product their core map will end up looking like. The students then made their own in small groups. Some did not finish so tomorrow they will complete the lab. If not done reading of chapter 4.3 is for homework. You do not have to answer the review questions. We will be moving quickly through this chapter and all the future chapters so you cannot afford to get behind, and can always get ahead. See you all tomorrow, Mr. Woolsey.
