Ms. Bullock 8th Grade Science Lesson Plans Week of December 18-22 * Lessons Plans are subject to change to teacher’s discretion

Monday, December 18, 2017 Standard: 8.E.6A.2 Analyze and interpret data from index fossil records and the ordering of rock layers to infer the relative age of rocks and fossils. 8.E.5A.4 Construct explanations for how the theory of plate tectonics accounts for (1) the motion of the lithospheric plates, (2) the geologic activities at plate boundaries, and (3) the changes in landform areas over geologic time. Objective: SWBAT construct a model to demonstrate their understanding of dating fossils, and the theory of plate tectonics. Classwork: Turn in 2nd Nine Weeks Exam Results Sheet Test Corrections due today. No exceptions ( by email, GC, REMIND, or in class on paer) Performance Tasks 2-3 Project Pass Back Papers Homework: Performance Task 2-3 Project due Tuesday, December 19; I will give you the first 20 minutes of class tomorrow to finish this assignment

Wednesday, December 20, 2017 Standard: 8.E.5B.3 Define problems that may be caused by a catastrophic event resulting from plate movements and design possible devices or solutions to minimize the effects of that event on Earth’s surface and/or human structures. Objective: SWBAT construct and present a model to demonstrate their understanding of dating fossils, and the theory of plate tectonics.

Thursday, December 21, 2017 Standard: 8.E.5A.4 Construct explanations for how the theory of plate tectonics accounts for (1) the motion of the lithospheric plates, (2) the geologic activities at plate boundaries, and (3) the changes in landform areas over geologic time. Objective: SWBAT understand the theory of plate tectonics and how continental drift and sea floor spreading connect to the theory. Classwork: Bill Nye Video: Plate Tectonics Homework: N/A
