Happy New Year. Ready for a new semester? It’ll be fun, honest.
This semester we will be digging deep into Earth and Space Science. So that we can take advantage of the school’s great campus, I’m turning the semester around, so that we can as much outdoors as possible.
First, we will start with our unit on the solar system, investigating all of our closest neighbors.
Second, we will draw closer and study the relationship between our Earth, it’s moon and the Sun. Here we’ll look at seasons, tides, solar energy, and history of space exploration.

Lastly, we land on the Earth and find out about the structure of our home - rocks, minerals, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and more.

This semester we will be using our laptops more and more. Starting with our first class we will learn how to use Evernote to keep our science notes and presentations organized. Along with Evernote, I will make sure that our class website is up-to-date. And we will create some wikis this semester, as well.
