We have been investigating competition and organism interactions in order to answer the question “What are the benefits and risks of building a pipeline through Yosemite Park?” This week, we will focus on Human Dependence on Natural Resources. In Math we will advance our understanding of circles further by learning to calculate circumference of a circle. Additionally, when given Circumference, students will be able to find the radius and diameter. This is still in Unit 3 of Illustrative Math. In addition, students should be working on their Khan Academy Assignments in class, but may be completing them at home as well. Remember that practice can be found on KhanAcademy in the Illustrative Math section!

Wandering Wednesday
Science Block
Today we will be furthering our discussion of Human Dependence on Natural Resources. We will have our second in class debate today! We will walk to the picnic tables outside the Children’s Theater and students will be given time and resources to prepare. (Fracking for resources?) Please note that on Wandering Wednesdays, as with every school outing, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices! Unless severe weather is in the area, we will do our excursions, rain or shine.
Thursday
Science Block
We will have our second in-class debate today! Students will have time in class to research and prepare. (a hint… fracking for fuel?) They will research both sides of the argument and prepare to present their argument and rebuttal. Their responses will be graded on a rubric.
FriYAY!
Students will continue to work on their FriYAY project!
