I can plan and carry out an investigation to provide evidence that soil is composed of layers of weathered rocks and decomposed organic material by creating my layers of soil foldable! (S6E5h). Activity For Today Today we are going to start our last science unit! The unit it is all about weathering, erosion, and soil! Today your activity will be to follow the instructions on the attached power point to create your soil horizon foldable! The powerpoint is available two different ways below, you can download the power point or it should be viewable just below. Once you finish your soil horizon foldable, there is a one question USA test prep activity. Digital Office Hours I will be dedicated to responding to any emails between the hours of 10:30 - 12:00.

I can interpret data to compare and contrast the planets in our solar system in terms of size relative to Earth through my solar system modeling activity. Activity For Today Today we are taking a break from USA test prep to do something different! Task: You are going to FIND objects around your house to represent the 8 planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). They should be representative of the relative size of the planets (bonus if you take surface features into consideration when picking your objects). To help you with this, use the link below to compare the sizes of the different planets to Earth. You should not make any of these objects, only find them. After you find the objects that represent your planets based on size, line them up in the order of the planets starting at the sun and take a picture of them. Send me your picture to my email. Have the subject line of your email be your name and class period. solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/earth/by-the-numbers/ Digital Office Hours I will be dedicated to responding to any emails between the hours of 10:30 - 12:00.
