This week we have begun studying weathering and the process of breaking down Earth’s crust into sediment. We have looked at mechanical and chemical weathering and how these processes change Earth’s surface. During this process, sediment is eventually broken down into soil. The second aspect of this chapter which we will investigate after Thanksgiving will be the horizons (or layers) of soil. We will note living creatures in some layers down to the rock found in the bedrock layer.
Earth Science
On Thursday, the students took their final test for Earth Science. Grades will be on RenWeb later Thursday evening. Next week I will be in DC with the 8th graders so Mrs. Schkade will be going over our weather chapter with the students. We will not have any homework...
