Good job everyone. :)
Mini Quiz on the last section of the unit should be up 12/29. It will be on Questions 128-174. This section is really important so I can say that the quiz will be longer than usual.

Schedule for the First Half of the Year

Since we are on a time crunch, I'm going to create a schedule for everything in the first 6 units. Unless things go really bad, this is the schedule I'm going to go with regardless just so I can go everything before the competition. (Once I get the full schedule this will be altered.)

Seriously guys, we need every minute every meeting, so don't waste all your time eating...

Thurs. 12/4 - Cloud Types, Weather Instruments, Temperature Conversion competition

Thurs. 12/11 - Competition continued + Quiz #1 (Questions 1-84)

Sat. 12/13 (I won't be here, ACT and my own Science Olympiad meeting) -
Work on Questions 85-174 in the library and at home. I know this is a lot, but everything is on the powerpoint for Unit 4. Use this website for Questions 101-115: http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/pd/oceans_weather_climate/media/climate_zones.swf

Thurs. 12/18 - Review Unit 4 + Quiz #2 (Questions 85-174)... Sorry, if there is a meeting on Sat. 12/20 then we'll take the quiz then, but as for now, everything is self-studying.

Over Break - Work and Research Water Cycle (Questions 175-191) and Atmosphere and Pressure (Questions 192-218).

Thurs. 1/8 - Mini Water Cycle Quiz, activity? HW: Work on Questions 219-260.

NOAA Cloud Chart

The Science Olympiad uses this for the cloud information in the competition. It would be pretty great if you could check it out!
