ENRICHMENT


 * ENRICHMENT **

Continue to use the page: http://rgreenbergscience.wikispaces.com/WEATHERING%2C+EROSION+AND+DEPOSITION I've highlighted most important links.

1. Take the online practice test. For the ones that were incorrect, copy and paste (or type) into an email sent to me. Subject line "W.E.D. Quiz" Send to Robert.Greenberg@dpsnc.net

I've highlighted the best links on this page, although feel free to check the unhighlighted ones out as well as the uploaded powerpoints.

2. Work by yourself or with ONE partner. Use a combination of VOICETHREAD (voicethread.com) and Infogr.am. Create a product that teaches topics in weathering, erosion and deposition. You've used Voicethread, however, Infogr.am may be new to you. Go to this link to register and see examples of infogr.am. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HihffFIt_sz-j4XqI-LEtbOCztR-xxJpuSiM1VVQ_dk/edit?pli=1 You will get six class periods to do this project. Use the first class period to learn Infogr.am and sign up. Use the next five periods to work on the project. Please help each other with tech support.

You may need to do some of the work at home. When complete, share with me on Google Drive.

Topics to consider as you create the Infogr.am - Mechanical weathering - Chemical weathering - Formation of soils, soil profiles and horizons - Rivers: meanders, oxbow lakes, cut bank, point bars, floodplains, deltas - Glaciers: erosional features and depositional features - Erosion and deposition by wind - Examples of mass wasting and... Select three of the locations shown in the landscape photographs. For each briefly give information about how weathering, erosion and deposition created the landscape.

1. Make sure to respond to each of the questions on the California water crisis blog (the questions are at the top or beginning of the blog)
 * FRIDAY APRIL 17th**

Form a discussion group. One student is the recorder.

WEATHERING, EROSION AND DEPOSITION This page (link below) contains images, animations and powerpoint http://rgreenbergscience.wikispaces.com/WEATHERING%2C+EROSION+AND+DEPOSITION This page is also listed on the left side menu.

2. Look over the material (animations, powerpoints,etc) and write down questions as they come up and discuss within your group. The recorder should write down the questions that come up as well as comments and ideas related to the topic.

3. Select three photos of landscapes from this page. Discuss within your group how these landscapes developed. What forces were at work? How long did it take? Were there stages? If so, describe. Add questions you might have or comments. Many of the photos are scenes from National Parks and Monuments.

//Please hand in this work at the end of the day. Only one submission. Recorder, please write down names of students in the discussion group.//

3. Check out the page (on left) called **"Online Practice Tests"** This page includes: - a released version of an NC Earth Science Exam from a few years ago (40 questions). Try it on your own, writing your responses on a pieces of paper. I will make an answer key, which you can check. Below that are several links to earth science terms in the form of a flashcard site and glossary of terms with images. Below that are a number of online practice tests, many of which give you instant feedback. **Please go to this page whenever your work is complete, today or anytime in the future. Please ask me for help omn rr get clarification whenever needed :-)**
