Final project Math and Science
You will be creating a slideshow for future 6th graders to share what you have learned about your first year in middle school. You will be sharing your highlights and lessons learned. Go to this link for directions. You will be starting this project in school. If you do not have the Internet at home, then you can also write your information out on paper. This project will also be assigned for homework. You may come back at lunch time to use the computers in class if needed. Your project needs to be finished by Wednesday, June 4th. You will be presenting it on Wednesday in either math or science class. Use this link for the class pictures.

5/23/14 Math. Use these worksheets to calculate the circumference or area of circles. Show all of your work on binder paper.
5/19/14 You will be working on an earth-quake preparedness project that you will also be sharing with your family. You will begin today by researching some key ideas for becoming prepared, create an earthquake checklist and design and produce an earthquake preparedness brochure to inform other people about how to keep safe in an earthquake.
For today: go to this website: cdc.gov.
Then go to open up Google Docs and create a document: earthquake notes. Use this document to record information you think will be important to share with your family.

Science 5-15-14 When you are finished with the assignment from yesterday, you will turn in your Science notebook so I can review your work, then go to this web site. You will start with the first material, wood, first squeeze, then stretch. Write what you observed under the materials column. Next click on the pros-cons for the material and record the information in the second column. Finally, you will go to the application tab and write the application, or uses for this material,
Science You will be going to several web sites today to learn more about earthquakes. Yesterday we talked about Parkfield, Ca. Today you will learn more about Parkfield and earthquakes. You will need your Netbook and your Science notebook. Follow all of the directions here. Use the links when indicated and record your information in your Science notebook.
Begin with this link on Parkfield. Read through the information on the geology of Parkfield. Answer these questions in your notebook:
1) Where does the San Andreas Fault appear in Parkfield?
Click on the link for aseismic creep.
2) Write an explanation of what it is. What other city has visible examples of asesmic creep? Go back to the Parkfield page.
3) When did Parkfield start recording their earthquakes. What is the approximate interval? What is the average magnitude? What did the USGS predict would happen in 1993? What was the result?
4) What do scientists measure in Parkfield.
5) What is the goal of SAFOD?
6) What was discovered in 2004? Why is this important?

Writing Algebraic expressions
Sea breeze / land breeze project.
Open up a new page in your Science notebook. Create a table with 3 columns and 24 rows. Label the first column time. Begin with 6:00 a.m. Continue labeling the time, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 p.m. etc. Continue until you get back to 6:00 a.m.
Label the second column land and label the third column ocean. Click on the link below. You will be using an interactive diagram of the land and ocean for the investigation of land and sea breezes.
Use the pause button so you can record the time and temperature over the land and the ocean for a 24 hour period.
Once you have finished recording all of the temperatures for a 24 hour period of time, watch the interactive diagram again. This time watch to see when the high pressure area is over the ocean and when the high pressure area is over the land. When there is a high pressure area over one part, what over the other part?
