- The Atmosphere
- Clouds
- The Water Cycle
- Water Issues (Scarcity and Sanitation)
- Climate Change & Impacts
- Glaciers - Features, Benefits, Risks
On Monday, both classes will be expected to complete their end of Unit Assignment for this unit. Period 3 (morning class) will be expected to begin writing in class, and will finish the written section at home, by Monday evening. Period 4 (afternoon class) will have your assignment posted by Saturday, January 9th, and it will be due on Monday evening.
It is expected that you will use your notes, activity questions, etc. to answer the questions on the test. The questions will be specific, and you will need to prepare for them by ensuring that you have watched the assigned videos, answered the questions, and read the articles. Please ensure that your answers are SPECIFIC and DETAILED and link directly to the sources we have studied together. You may connect with others as you prepare and study for the test - but your answers must be in your own words.
