REVISITING "ROCK YOUR STATE!"
w
One month ago, as part of the "Rock Your State!"
assignment, you worked with others to create a poster illustrating the various
kinds of rocks, their important characteristics, and different ways of
classifying them. Today, revisit that poster with your group, and
fine-tune it. How much have you learned since that day?
REVISITING "GEOTECTONICS"
w
Several weeks ago, we examined fourteen different
places on Earth, studied their geologic characteristics,
and tried to discern patterns that gave clues to their geotectonic setting.
Now that you know much more about geotectonics, revisit those locations and see
how much more sense the patterns make. This will launch us into our next
topic--volcanoes! (The
legal-sized handout used in class appears here.)
