11-6 Monday Period 2,4,9
11-7 Tuesday - Period 3,5, 10
Wednesday early out 11:20
11-9 Thursday - Period 2,4,9
11-10 Friday Period 3,5, 10
Monday/Tuesday - Start with review skyward assignment. Continue our second crystal lab.
Period 2 - If we change the solution from borax/water to alum/water we can create a different crystal pattern.
Period 3 - If we change the solution from borax/water to epsom/water we can create a different crystal pattern.
Period 4 - Using more borax (1:1) will make more crystals than using the 2:1 solution.
Period 5 - Hypothesis– By adding food color to the water we will be able to change the color of the borax crystals.
Period 9 - By adding food color to the water we will be able to change the color of the borax crystals.
Period 10– The borax crystals will grow larger in vinegar borax solution compared to water borax solution.
We will have a categorizing activity with the principles of geology, fossil types, common Illinois fossils, and new this week rocks and mineral names. We will take notes on the difference between rocks and minerals, how minerals form, and the rock cycle. Students will be expected to memorize the 15 minerals and 15 rocks by sight by November 22. We will start our practice in class today. Homework is to read a packet on historical geology and answer the question skyward. The assignment will be open until Friday, Nov. 10th at 4:00. A paper copy will be available.
Thursday/ Friday - Review our rocks and minerals by sight. We will take a practice test, not graded, of the rocks and minerals!! We will create a model of the two ways minerals are formed. We will have rock cycle races both on the chalkboard and on paper. We will partner group an activity on rock/ mineral uses. We will construct and then deconstruct geology on a program called Visible Geology. Homework is finished packet given earlier this week. To end class we will collect our data from our crystal lab. We will use the spreadsheet program and graph our results.
