Homework 10/29

8th Grade

The students have no written homework tonight.  They are studying timelines and beginning the geological time scale.  They should be studying these words:  eon, eras, periods, and epochs.  This page offers great information on geological time scales.

EXTRA CREDIT:  Answer these questions from that page.
1.  Name the eras in the Archean eon.
2.  Which period comes after the Jurassic period?
3.  How many millions of years ago was the Permian period?


Leave your answers in a comment on the post - make sure your first name and HR are in the comment so that I can give you credit for your answer.  COMMENTS MUST BE LEFT BY 12pm on 10/30/10 to count.

7th Grade

Students will be coming home with their open ended benchmark questions.  They were graded according to a 4pt rubric.  They will have the white lined paper they wrote their answers on and a small piece of paper that gives the details of the rubric and the "facts" that the Science department was looking for in the answer.  If your child used one of these facts in their answer, it will be checked off.  Students were given every one of these facts as notes prior to the test and told that they needed to study them for the open ended questions.

Please sign the questions and they are to be returned to school on Monday.

HINT:  Extra Credit to come during the weekend so check the blog everyday!
