This week students will be learning about high- and low-pressure systems. They will also be learning how to read weather and climate maps. They will learn which air masses impact which parts of the United States. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello,

 

This week students will be connecting climate to weather, El Nino and La Nina, trade winds, and the gulf stream.  Here is a video that shows what we will be talking about. What is El Nino and La Nina? How are they formed? Explanation and diagrams.

Hello,

 

This week Students will get to use their knowledge of rocks and minerals in several hands on labs. Students will test the different rocks and get to explore what they are. 

 

Mrs. Lounsbury 

Hello,

 

This week students will be learning about minerals and how they are connected to the rock cycle. Here is a video that talks about what we will cover.

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.
