 Science 8:  We began with a short review of the World Map with the plate boundaries on it, and we labelled Iceland, Indonesia, Mount Everest, the Great Rift Valley, and 4 mountain ranges (Himalayas, Andes, Alps, Rockies).  We also spent 5 minutes coloring the continents, a different color for each one. We read section 17.4 (from the old Probe 10) and did pg 508 # 1-13 (half in sentences, half point form) but only 1-9 are due Friday.   In the second half we found the epicenter of an earthquake using triangulation, using this data.  We also watched the first 20 minutes of "Volcano!", a National Geographic documentary about the Maurice and Katia Kraft.  We will finish this video on Friday.  We listed volcano names, as well as hazards, as we watched.  Also, everyone was reminded that binder contents will be collected on the last day of class, and that I will go through everyone's book to see that it is ordered by date, tidy,  and complete.   Scientists keep their data organized.
