JA 7A Science Schedule for Oct 18th - 22nd

Most of the student's did well on their E2020 science courses last week. However, we have many students who are not meeting their weekly target. There is a tool on your organizer that will help you be on track. When you login and click on the organizer you will see few icons on the bottom of the page. Then do the following:

1. When you click on the reports button, you have access to many different types of reports. To view any of these reports in detail simply click on the corresponding button.

2. When you click on assignments calendar it shows you what assignments you have completed (in green text), what assignments you should have completed and future assignments (in grey text), and what assignments you should be working on today (in blue text). It also shows the percent complete for the course after each assignment is completed.

JA 7A SCIENCE: This group should have completed the first unit - The Scientific Process and the topic test on it. Students who did not finish it should work on it over the weekend.

This week students should work on the following:

The second unit Evaluating explanations, should take the topic test and then move on to the third unit Earth's History.

NOTE: If a student is not meeting his/her daily target, they are responsible to work on it at home or stay after school.

JA 7B Science Schedule for Mar 29th - Apr 2nd

Monday: Students will be assigned with a chapter project - Design and build an earthquake-safe house. Students will have 2 weeks to work on it. This project will be due on Monday, April 12th and is worth 200 points. Next we will discuss sec-1, Forces in Earth's crust. Students will learn about types of stress that changes the Earth's surface, kinds of faults, and the land features that result from the forces of plate movement. Do the notes and section assessment for homework.

Tuesday: Discussion on sec-2, Earthquakes and Seismic waves. Students will learn about types of seismic waves, measuring earthquakes using the Mercalli scale, the Richter scale, and the moment magnitude scale. Next we will learn to compare the magnitude of various earthquakes and how to locate the epicenter. Do the notes and section assessment for homework.

Wednesday: Today students will work on two fun activities during class. First they will work on a skills lab - Finding the epicenter. Next, they will work on a news report - each student should pretend to be a television news reporter covering an earthquake rated between IV and V on the Mercalli scale and write a short news story describing the earthquake's effects.

Thursday: Discussion on sec-3, Monitoring Earthquakes. Students will learn how seismographs work, how geologists monitor faults using tilt meters, creep meters, GPS satellites, and how to use seismographic data. Next they will work on their notes/section assessment and finish it for homework.

Friday: Discussion on sec-4, Earthquake safety. Students will learn how geologists determine earthquake risk, the types of damage an earthquake can cause, what can be done to increase earthquake safety and reduce earthquake damage. Do the notes and section assessment for homework.
