PLAN FOR TODAY Students absent Tuesday – grade classmates Computer Expectations (for now…) Test Tomorrow ATTACK Review Game

Computer Expectations (for now…) There is a roster on the cart with your computer number (it’s alphabetical) You are to check your computer at the BEGINNING of each day/use for any damage and report it IMMEDIATELY (or else I’ll think you did the damage) At the end of EVERY period, you are to put your laptop away, in the right number spot and with the right number charge cord. You will LOSE points for not doing this correctly. You will need to bring cheap headphones EVERY day in case we use the computer (also recommend a flash drive)

Project/Models Take them home TODAY, they will be gone tomorrow. I might use them next year as a model, recycle parts, or throw them out.

ATTACK REVIEW GAME UNIT 6 Human Impact

RULES OF THE GAME Get into 7-8 groups of 3 or 4 Draw a castle on the board for your group (make sure there is plenty of room for all groups). You have one (1) Minute! A review question is posted. You have 30 seconds to discuss with your group what the answer might be. A group is called on at random. If your group gets it right, you get 2 “Xs”. You can put one (1) “X” on two different castles, remove 2 Xs, or add 1 and remove 1. If you are wrong, your group gets an automatic “X”. Once your castle has been attacked five (5) times, you must erase your castle. You can still attack castles if you are out. The last castle standing wins!

QUESTION How Can Scientists Use Ice Cores To Determine Past Climate Conditions?

Answer They use isotopic ratios of water in cores to determine temperature and precipitation. ​ Dust particles can determine atmospheric circulations, volcanic eruptions, and wind speed. ​ Volcanic eruptions help scientists age ice cores accurately. ​ Atmospheric composition is determined by air bubbles compressed in the ice. ​

QUESTION Species that has a great influence on the ecosystem and without that species, the ecosystem could collapse or struggle to continue. ​ ​

Answer Keystone Species

QUESTION Grass, trees, weeds and examples of _______producers

Answer Primary

QUESTION How do scientists know what the climate was like thousands of year ago? ​

QUESTION One (1) reason why it is important to study climate.

Answer Deviations from the average could be an indication of climate change in an area.

QUESTION What contributes to the climate of an area?

Answer Proximity to oceans and lakes: ​ Bodies of water absorb heat when it is hot and release heat when it is cold, contributing to the climate of an area. ​ Heat exchanges between the ocean and atmosphere cause wind. ​ Winds drive ocean currents. ​ Oceans absorb CO2, slowing global warming. ​ Evaporation: Hot water from the tropics evaporates and is carried by trade winds to the north and south. ​ Storms often develop over warm oceans before hitting land.
