Week Twenty-one


So much to do, and so little time. This week we will be finishing up chapter 5 "Changes Over Time". I anticipated getting further than we did last week, but because of our exciting discussions some of the lessons from last week had to be moved to this week.

A tentative schedule for this week includes:

Tuesday - Mantis Article Questions / Natural Selection on-line activity / Variations Lab
Wednesday - Brain Pop Videos / Notes on Evidence for Evolution / Finish Variations Lab
Thursday - Brain Pop Video / Notes on Geologic time scale / Time scale tapping / Pre-test over time scale
Friday - Vocabulary Quiz / Geologic Time Scale Lab / Chapter 5 Study Guide

Homework this week will be to finish reading chapter 5 and doing the remainder of the chapter 5 vocabulary by Friday, studying the 7 flashcards for the vocabulary quiz on Friday, finishing the Variations Lab by Thursday, Branching Tree worksheet due Friday, and the Chapter 5 Study Guide due by Monday.
