We are continuing to learn about the impact of human activities on soil erosion, and how to prevent erosion. We are specifically examining construction, deforestation, dam building, and farming. This week we will begin preparing for our Nine Weeks Landforms test. Students will study their Competitive Edge (pgs. 209-212) and another sheet of multiple choice questions to prepare for the test. The Landforms Nine Weeks test covers all concepts from the quarter and is really a mini Practice EOG. Students will take this test next Tuesday (March 20th).
You will also receive an email or letter from me this week about EOG coach books. I would very much appreciate if each parent could purchase an EOG coach book for Science. It will cost only $6.00 and students will use it on a regular basis to prepare for the EOG exam. It has mini-lessons, questions very similar to the EOG, and EOG practice tests. I will assign homework from the EOG coach book and we will do exercises in class and during remediation time. The cost break down of the book is the following: $4.99 + 12% for shipping + 6.75% NC sales tax/per book = $5.93 + 5.95 shipping and handling per order. I will pay the remainder of the shipping and handling so we can keep the book cost at an even $6.00.
Homework for the week:
Monday night: pg. 207-208 questions #1-11 (already started in class)
Tuesday: pg. 209-210 #6-18 in the Competitive Edge book
Wednesday: sheet of multiple choice questions, study for the Landforms Nine Week test
Thursday: study for the Landforms Nine Weeks test
