Hello,

 

Students have been researching about National Parks. They will be presenting their parks to the class this week. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello!

 

I hope you had a great 4-day weekend!

This week students will be using their knowledge of weathering, erosion, deposition, and soil to create a presentation on a national park and the formation of the landscapes in each park. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello,

 

This week students will be creating topographic models of mountains and hills. They will also begin learning about different types of soil and minerals. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello,

 

This week students are demonstrating their knowledge of Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition. They will also learn how to read a topographic map. Here is a video that will talk about what we are covering. https://youtu.be/CV2UCYwqwno?feature=shared 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello,

 

This week students will continue to learn about weathering and erosion. They have been talking about the landforms that have been created by these slow processes over time. Here is a video that talks about weathering and erosion. https://youtu.be/pmF41T52nJs?feature=shared

 

Mrs. Lounsbury

Hello,

 

This week students will be presenting their tectonic plate natural disasters. Students have been researching Volcanos, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis.  They have made a presentation bout one disaster and will show it to the class. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello!

 

This week, students are researching a Techtronic plate related natural disaster: Tsunami, Earthquake, or Volcano. They are creating presentations that they will share with the class. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello, 

 

We have had a recent uptake in students bringing sprayable smelling items like perfume, cologne, and other body spray items. This includes anything with a strong smell like hand sanitizer and lotion. Please keep these items at home. It is very hard to tell if the smells are allergen safe. The collections of spray are also starting to cause many students to have headaches. Please talk to your student about keeping these items home and not at school.   

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this nor policy for my room. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello,

 

This week, students will be finishing up their Pangea puzzle group project. Students have been learning how scientists came to the conclusion of plate tectonic movement and continental drift.  Here is a video describing the Continental Drift Theory. https://youtu.be/mh5yu24DeQE?feature=shared 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury

 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

 

This week in science we will continue to take notes about the structure of the Earth. Students will learn how different tectonic plates create different types of volcanoes. 

 

Here is a video we will be watching on how volcanoes are formed.

Mrs. Lounsbury 

 

Hello!

 

I hope you have a great weekend! We will continue to talk about the different way tectonic plates move. We are currently working on a lab that discusses how sea floor spreading shows that the continental plates are diverging. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello!

 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  This week students will be learning about tectonic plates and how they move. They will also be learning about how the core helps create a convection zone that moves plates and shapes our land. Here is a video that talks about many of the concepts we will be covering this week. 

 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello!

 

This week in science, students will begin taking notes in their science notebooks on the Layers of the Earth. We will be reviewing the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Students will graph the different temperatures of each layer and discuss the connection of temperature to its location in Earth.
