We will investigate things about the Earth that have to do with its position in space. Things such as: Earth and Sun Relationships, seasons, moon phases, coriolis effect, tides, eclipses.
 * WEEK OF March 25 **
 * Mon. March 25 - Thurs. March 28 **

We will begin the investigation in class on Monday using the projector and screen and then go into the computer lab for the remainder of the week and complete the worksheet.

Here are the links to the different web sites you will use to answer the questions:

//We will be visiting Death Valley National Park over spring break. Use the following links// //to help me decide what to see while I am there. Plan an itinerary (schedule) for me for// //three days and three nights. Since it is such a large park and many places to see are// //not close to each other, Help me decide what my route should be going through the park.// //Use the provided maps to choose the best routes. We will be camping for three nights.// //Help us find the campgrounds that are along our route. Create a brochure that contains// //the information. Use colors and do a neat job fr the best grade.//

 * Volcanoes of the World**

A) Choose a volcano

B) Research the volcano beginning with the above web sites (you may Google more information) Find out all you can about the volcano:  1. Location  2. Plate tectonic setting  3. Elevation  4. Type of volcano  5. Describe what happened when it erupted (style of eruption)  6. Last time this volcano erupted and what happened  7. Anything else about historic eruptions of this volcano - find out details  8. People (cities, towns, villages) in danger if this volcano erupts again

C) Create an outstanding poster about this volcano, which will be used when you present to the class. The poster should be eyecatching (attractive) and neat, and tell the story of your volcano. Here is how the poster will be graded:

Volcano Poster information Name of volcano = 2 pts Location = 1 pt Plate tectonic setting = 2 pts Elevation = 1 pt Your name on front = 1 pt  Type of volcano = 2 pts Describe how it erupts = 3 pts Last eruption = 1 pt Next expected eruption = 1 pt  Historical information about the volcano = 3 pts

Grade 35 points total 18 pts = information 6 pts = neatness 6 pts = eyecatching and attractive 5 pts = presentation

 * __HURRICANE SANDY INQUIRY__**

Here’s your main site: [|www.noaa.gov]
 * ONLINE RESOURCES**

Text box at upper left of home page: type in name of city or town and state (i.e. Chapel Hill, NC) for forecast. Screen at upper center of home page: Keep clicking “next” until you find the screen entitled “Tracking Sandy” Click on this screen. This will take you to the National Weather Service National Hurricane Center. There’s a map with the track of the hurricane (the “cone”) and other links (in boxes) related to winds and storm surge.

At the upper right are eight boxes. The one on the top row to the left is “weather.” Click on it and it brings you to a page with a small map. Click on the map and it will enlarge it. Notice the color key at the bottom. If you click a spot on the big map you can see detail for that area. Click on the detailed map and get a detailed 7-day forecast.

[]
 * Use this site to find your locations on maps**


 * THE ASSIGNMENT**

Below is a list of cities or towns. Select at least six and up to ten (extra points for more than six locations). Don’t pick places close to each other – spread it out! For each location:

1. List the following current data: - temperature - barometric (atmospheric) pressure - wind direction (the direction wind is coming from) - wind speed (sustained speed) - wind gusts (maximum) - rainfall amount - storm surge/wave height (if along the ocean or body of water connected to ocean)

2. Write a weather report that would be read on the radio. Your paragraph should take a half-minute or a little less to read out loud. Give the current weather report for that location and the forecast over the next three to five days. Add any important information that pertains to that location.

LIST OF LOCATIONS given in instructions that were handed out
