We will continue to watch Blue Gold: Water Wars and conduct a Paideia discussion on causes of fresh water depletion, effects, and solutions. On Tuesday we will begin our unit on Geology, or the study of how rocks have changed over time. Students will receive Power Point notes detailing the history of Geology, relative dating of rocks, radioactive/radiometric/absolute dating of rocks, and geologic time. This week we will focus on radiometric dating of rocks and how certain isotopes decay in half-lives. Students will perform an activity involving one million dollars to illustrate the concept of half life. They may only spend half of their money per day until it is gone and then we will calculate how many days it will take. There are still a couple of students who have not taken the Hydrology test. After this, I will hand back everyone's graded test.
Homework for the week:
Monday night: Write down at least three causes, effects, and solution of fresh water depletion based on the video Blue Gold: Water Wars (see video sheet for help).
Tuesday night: no homework
Wednesday night: reread power point handout again, pg. 403 study guide definitions: first column
Thursday night: Pg. 380 questions - all of Review and Reflect
