PLEASE check out the links from today's lesson on New England's journey. There are many maps posted here that were not used in class. The scientist who posted them also has many animations in the Earth's History section of his website. Check out the assignment for today, 17 OCT 16. If you cannot access through Aspen, files will be posted to my new.schoolnotes.com Changing New England page. Or explore the author's website at http://www.scotese.com/earth.htm.
The animation for the Watch It station is on YouTube.com https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tObhGzHH2aw.
Aspen post: Parents/guardians: have you noticed that your child doesn’t have much science homework? Here are some things they are expected to work on in lieu of traditional written work:
- Fix their notebooks: color, label, add notes, design titles, date, secure papers, update table of contents, use paperclips to keep pages orderly, decorate the cover, finish what they started in class. A student's ISN should look better than mine!
- Learn about New England: watch videos from the “Changing New England” playlist on YouTube.com, for families with Netflix – watch the BBC 3 part series Earth’s Extraordinary Journey, continue to explore interactive simulations used in class like the solar system at https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/my-solar-system/my-solar-system_en.html or the seasons at http://mass.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/npls13.sci.ess.seasons/why-seasons/
- Get outside! Experience New England in autumn. It really cannot be beat. Make observations of where we live, look for evidence of how we got here.
