Earth Science with Mrs. Wilson

Here is a quick and easy extra credit opportunity. I don’t do these often, so it’s a good idea to take advantage of it.

The Globe at Night is a citizen science project to measure light pollution around the world. Go out tonight and see how many stars you can see in the constellation Orion. All of the information and reporting procedures can be found on the Globe at Night web site.

Print our or write up your report of the stars you saw and turn it in. I will add 5 points to your lowest test grade. I recommend doing this tonight as it may be cloudy the rest of the week,

This will count as your final test assessment. You can use your online textbook, notebook, and any web site to help you answer the questions. You have one class period to complete the assignment. You may work with one partner. Work diligently to get the assignment completed.

We took our open ended science interim in all classes today. When we finished this task, we worked on the skills lab on page 590 in your textbook. If you have not finished this yet, please complete it for homework.

On Monday, we will be completing a project in the computer lab that will count as your final regular test grade this quarter. It is over weather factors and forecasting. You do not need to study anything specific to help you prepare for this.
