August 27-28

Utah Studies:

Today we watched a video on factors that affect Utah's climate.  We finished up our worksheet (see previous post) and corrected them in class.  We watched the following video clips to help students visualize the rainshadow effect: 1 and 2.  We also watched the following videos to illustrate how natural forces affect environments: earthquakes, volcanoes, more volcanoes, mudslides, erosion, more erosion,and flooding.

We talked about the continental divide.  You can find the picture of it here.

I introduced the how to use your textbook worksheet and students had the rest of class to work on it.  They will have more class time to work on it if they don't finish it today.

Students have more time to work on their final portfolios.
