Science: Today in science students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students read section two, Slow Motion on Planet Earth, together as a class.  We discussed the relationship of the movements of the continents plates to the various motions they had measured in the speed challenge activity we spent the previous two days on.  Students were then handed the section 2 worksheet to do as homework.    

Assignments:  The section 2 worksheet on the Slow Motion on Planet Earth is due on Thursday in class.
