We will take the Quarter 4 Post-test next Tuesday. The rest of today will be reviewing for it. Here are some ways in which you can do this:
- Ediscio: Sign in and go through the cardboxes having to do with meteorology and oceanography. Those include “Fronts and Air Masses”, “Greenhouse Effect”, “Humidity”, “Layers of the Atmosphere”, “Ocean Currents”, “Pressure”, and “Wind”.
- Weather Jeopardy: Go to the student shared folder à “8th Grade Earth Science”. Open up the “Weather Jeopardy” powerpoint and try your best to become victorious.
- Study Island: Sign in to Study Island (username = tie2011; password = trial). Scroll down to find the link that says “Science Middle”. Select two concepts for your online review session – “The Water Cycle, The Atmosphere, and Currents” and “Weather and Climate”.
