Science:
This week students will be:
- Studying Alfred Wegener’s theory of Continental Drift though the creation of Pangaea, an ancient super-continent.
- Exploring how the Earth is constantly recycling Earth’s crust through mid-ocean ridges and deep-ocean trenches

- Completed "Pangaea Puzzle" on page 38 of our science notebooks to understand just how Alfred Wegener used fossils to prove Continental Drift.
- Watched a short music video about Alfred Wegener to reinforce our learning.
- Reviewed our past knowledge from 1.3 and 3.1 to make sure we were up to date on our learning.
- Worked on PQR2ST+ notes over 3.2 "Sea-Floor Spreading" (notebook page 39).
- Placed a graphic inside our notebook which demonstrates sea-floor spreading (notebook page 40).
