Homework for co-op 8:

There will be no written homework for this co-op...enjoy your Thanksgiving break!!

Please either watch the following Geography NOW videos OR your teacher may find alternative, but similar resources to learn about these countries, their history and people groups.

Warning: I have not fully previewed any of the Geography NOW videos, so please preview for your student if there are any concerns over potential content.

--Belarus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nASqSOtXkhk
--Czech Republic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kaF6SnSEo8
--Hungary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omx66rFK5yM
--Moldova: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cARe_1cRj6E

The following are NOT Geography NOW videos but have good information on these two countries.
--Slovakia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjUHqbdexPQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm1sSkJkUZ4

--Ukraine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDGA-iLvmNA

Here are a couple of videos that the students were interested in finishing watching since our time was limited during class:
--National Geographic documentary on bioluminescence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfmR8sSy1h8

--TED talk by David Gruber (marine biologist featured in the above documentary) speaking about bioluminescence and its prevalence across marine life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96HHmILhyrE

Here's the link for the recipe I had planned to bring to class had we been at Northside. It's an easy recipe to adapt and could even be made as a Thanksgiving side dish! If you make it, please let me know how it turns out. :) https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13065 ... n-kugelis/

Homework for co-op 9:

This stretch between co-ops we will be deviating from the Geography NOW videos to give everyone a break from the routine. The following videos provide a more general summary of the region of Eastern Europe and give a different take on the land, people, and history. Please watch both.
  • A beautiful video of the many sights of Eastern Europe. There are a few Russian places listed that we are not studying as part of Eastern Europe, however, I believe you will really enjoy the beautiful architecture and sights of those cities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzzdwqCd-Zo
Homework:
  • Choose one of the videos above and write a short paragraph or two about it. If you choose the first one, summarize some of the major points that Sorin makes about Eastern Europe and how it differs from Western Europe. If you choose the second video on the sights of Eastern Europe, choose 3-5 locations you would love to travel to and explain why. Turn in this paragraph for homework at co-op 9.
  • Work on your map of Europe and catch up to our latest addition. Instructions were handed out during class...please read them carefully and follow all of the instructions, especially the one about bringing your map and supplies to class for co-op 9. I've attached a picture of my map below so you can use it in case you have any questions.
  • Play with this free online geography game! See if you can remember where the European countries are that we've studied this year so far. Can you remember their capitals? If you were in my class last year, do you remember where the countries of Africa are and the names of their capitals?
    https://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3007
  • Complete your own bioluminescence jar using the instructions provided in class.
  • Have a wonderful Christmas Break and we will see you in the New Year!!
Optional: Warning: I have previewed most of the following videos, but not all. Please preview for your student if there are concerns over potential content.

Homework for co-op 10

I have previewed most of the following videos, but not all. Please preview for your student if there are concerns over potential content.

1. All students watch the following videos and read all of the articles directly below. Take CORNELL notes on (1) Geography NOW video and choose either (A) or (B) of the ocean articles as your other source for CORNELL notes. Plan to turn in both of your notes to the homework box. If you need help, please reference any notes you took during history class or the links Mrs. Greeley has put on the forum.

Montenegro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBjUOtlnm5Y
Macedonia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoBQRhNbreI
Albania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WZ06pTuqV0
Bulgaria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlVmp7zBbKU

Only take notes on the main portion of the article...not the embedded sub-articles.
A. https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource ... n-currents
B. https://www.weather.gov/safety/ripcurrent and https://www.weather.gov/safety/beachhazards

2. Spend time on the geography map game, reinforcing what we've learned while making our maps of Europe (and Africa for students in my class last year): https://online.seterra.com/en/

3. Don't forget to look over your worksheet with the seafloor formations. I will be giving you a blank one to fill out in class as part of our review of last semester. Here's a link to a blank worksheet for practice if you so desire: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZJr ... RCenYYvOf/

4. Create a title and a compass rose for your map of Europe as we discussed in class. Bring them with you to class so we can glue them on.

Note: I encourage you all to explore the NOAA and weather.gov sites for interesting articles and video links. LOTS of great information there for students interested in the science side of oceanography and its connection to weather and ocean phenomenon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LInks from class: Here are the conversions for the recipe:
600g flour = 4 1/4 C flour
150g butter = 2/3 C butter
200g sugar = 1 C sugar
200g honey = 2/3 C honey

Homework for co-op 11

1. Watch the following video and use the link to finish filling out and coloring the worksheet you received from class.
2. Watch the following video. 3. Using the Ocean Currents worksheet that you've colored and filled out, watch the following simulation and name the currents as you watch. The simulation is silent, so don't freak out when you don't hear anything! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhB9zLlN6BQ

4. Spend time on the geography map game, reinforcing what we've learned while making our maps of Europe (and Africa for students in my class last year): https://online.seterra.com/en/

5. If you have time and are interested in making an ocean in a bottle, click on this site, scroll down and follow the directions! https://layers-of-learning.com/ocean-cu ... FBR0FhNHlj

Homework for Co-op12

We are finally moving on to our second area of map study this year, Australia! Students are encouraged to do their own exploring of the continent based on their interests, of course. In the coming co-ops we will also be moving on from oceans to tectonics and volcanoes--I know I'm super excited to learn with your students!!

The homework is contained in two hyperdocs, but only the one on waves and tides contains work. The other hyperdoc is about Australia and only requires viewing, exploring a couple of sites about the country, and a recipe for fun. There's the usual warning about videos and watching them with your children if you have any concerns. I triple-checked all the links and am praying they all work, however, if I missed something and you don't have access or a link doesn't work, please let me know.

Waves and Tides: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xXx ... sp=sharing

Australia: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P84 ... sp=sharing

There is no geography homework for co-op 14 other than what was sent home with your students. Each student received a ziploc with printed pages of a model of a volcano to cut out.

Please make sure your students read and follow the steps below carefully:

1. Cut out all the pieces to the model very carefully. Only the solid external lines should be cut--the broken lines are where we will fold the paper and the blue dots are where we will put glue. The small triangles between tabs need to be cut out as well...yes, I know it's tedious, but it's necessary. Students have two weeks to do all their cutting, so I expect it to be done well and not rushed. The better the cutting, the better the final project will turn out. Consider listening to some Australian music or watching a documentary about tsunamis, tectonics, earthquakes, or Australian flora and fauna while they're doing the cutting.

2. Try to make sure the cutting isn't done willy nilly but in an organized way. Paperclip multiple pieces together that come from one single page after they've been cut. This is very important to do so we keep these pieces organized and save time in class. Many of the pieces look similar, so paperclipping the ones that go together will be so much easier than trying to sort through them all to find the ones we need. There are only 2 pages like this, I believe.

3. As they work, ensure everything is put back into the bag so nothing gets lost. We will need every single piece!

4. Bring the bag with the cut-out pieces to co-op 14 so we can start assembling our volcanoes!

Let me know if you have any questions!
Blessings,
Phyllis

Homework for co-op 15

1. Watch the video from class again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNGUdObDoLk) and define the following terms. Either draw or give an example of each on a map or in history.
  • Ring of fire:
  • Stratovolcano:
  • Shield volcano:
  • Caldera:
  • Magma:
  • Lava:
  • Pyroclastic flow
2. Choose at least one more video to watch (45 min each)(Note: I have not previewed all of them completely--there are references to earth's evolution): 3. Students were sent home with colored pencils, their large map of Australia, and a small reference map of Australia (super colorful) to work from. They don't have to complete the entire map, but I would like for them to be 1/2 to 3/4 of the way completed before our next co-op. This will leave more time for us to work on the volcanoes in class. My completed map below can be used as a reference, but they will need to primarily work from the small, colorful map I handed to them in class.

4. Please ensure students bring the following items co-op 15 class:
  • Large map of Australia
  • Small reference map of Australia
  • Legend and title (preferably glued onto their map
  • Colored pencils and markers borrowed for home use
  • Pre-cut volcano pieces
  • Small strait edge
  • Regular pencil for adding curve to model pieces
  • Homework

Dialectic Geography HMWK for CoOp 16

Post by TiffanyB »

Dialectic Geography this week was a fun bridge into geology and science as we peaked into underwater volcanic activity. Students learned about those 3 different types of submarine eruptions. Here are the videos shown in class if they would like to revisit for reference.

Rift volcanoes and their vent inhabitants
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4IY3dIwZdI
Subduction Zone
https://vimeo.com/239367042
Hot Spot Volcano formation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asUXBV12Btg


HOMEWORK for CoOp 16:

1. Bring back the remaining pieces to your volcano project so we can complete them in class.

3. Bring back any colored pencils that were taken home in order to complete their Australia maps.

4. Maps DO NOT need to be brought back. Keep those treasures home, put in gilded frames and hang prominently in your family’s most visited room where it can be appreciated by all who enter. Well done, everyone!

5. View ALL Videos below and take notes on one of these videos to be turned in to your homework folder.
