Assignments for 01/06 and 01/07

Happy New Year to students and families. If you missed class before the holiday or right afterward then we need to get you caught up.
First and foremost, your FCAT Explorer assignments are due for your class either on Wednesday or Thursday. Your log in and password are the same as the one your language arts teacher gave you. If you have forgotten it then read back to December entries for that information.
Make sure you complete the 3 review lessons and take notes. Then do the section of the ship (again, it's all in December).
Here's a summary of activities/assignments made Monday and Tuesday.
Bellringer: calculate the A.U. between the sun and each planet along with the asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt, and Eris. Remember 150,000,000km = 1 A. U.

Introduction to the Terrestrial Planets through the video: Spaceship Earth. You can view it by scrolling down to find the links.  Everyone can try to watch the Mercury and Venus sections by either searching for the video on YouTube. There are some links available in previous posts.

Matrix of planets. Make a 9x11 matrix or see me for a copy of it along with the criteria to organize.
Read Unit 3 Lesson 4. Do the active reading questions and the  Lesson Review p. 155.

Remember, FCAT Explorer is due Wednesday for B day and Thursday for A day.
