JA 7A Science Schedule for Sep 29th - Oct 3rd




Monday: Students should work on “How can heat cause motion in a liquid?” activity at home over the weekend and write a narrative basing on their observations. Its due on Monday and we’ll discuss their observations for part of the class period. Then we’ll talk about the types of heat transfer radiation, conduction, and convection. We’ll work on the study guide and they should finish the rest of the study guide for homework, which is due on Tuesday.


Tuesday: Students will review sec -1 and sec-2 Earth’s interior and Convection and Mantle during class to get ready for the test on Wednesday.


Wednesday: Test on sec-1 and 2 for 45minutes. Next students will get a new handout on sec-3, Drifting Continents. We’ll discuss about continental drift, and Wegener’s hypothesis rejected. They should work on part of sec-3 study guide at home.


Thursday: Students will spend some time in groups to work on the rest of the study guide on sec-3. Then we’ll move on to sec-4, Sea-floor spreading. We’ll discuss about mid-ocean ridges, evidence for sea-floor spreading, and subduction at trenches.


Friday: Continue the discussion on sec-4 and will work on the study guide. Students should complete the study guide for the weekend.
