LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by coloring and gluing notebook.
15min Complete the diagram by identifying the 3 tectonic plates, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, thermal vent, trench, ocean, mantle, mountains & volcanoes, and the convection currents.
10min Video examples of volcanoes, trenches, thermal vents, and earthquakes.
5min Emergency BIG Earthquake Plan: Meeting Locations (Main locations and alternative); Numbers of Contacts (In case phone is lost, damaged, or out of power.), Siblings/Family (Who checks/picks up who?), Food/Water (How much do you have? Is it enough for two weeks? How will you heat it?); Safest Location (What’s the safest spot in each room of your home?) Medical/Etc. (What will you do if a person has medical needs like insulin?)
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
Plate Tectonics: Cracker & Ketchup Models
HW: Finish your Chuck-Ken Trap Video Project - due Monday.
CW: Plate Tectonics - Cracker & Ketchup Models Slideshow turned in via Schoology.
DN: Draw a face on your index (pointer) finger.
EQ: What are the characteristics of each boundary?
Reminder: To avoid building a Low Grade design have the door swing up to shut and don’t connect the bait directly to the door.

Chuck-Ken Trap (Low Grade) Design Example
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by clearing and cleaning tables.
5min Teacher distributes materials.
20min Plate Tectonics - Cracker & Ketchup Models. Teacher demonstrates how to make a digital character and overviews the assignment. Students recreate the ‘transform’ example, add arrows, labels, and a brief description (already done). Students then model the other boundaries with crackers and ketchup making sure their digital character is in each photo. (Tip: Take all the photos first and then add the arrows, labels, and brief description.)
10min Clear tables. Wipe tables. Dry tables.
5min Wrap up.

Rock Cycle: Crystal Structures
HW: Start working on your projects. (Pair due Monday, 12/2. Solo due Monday, 12/9.) Look up Rube Goldberg machines for inspiration.
CW: Crystals Mini-Book with Cooled Fast, Cooled Slow, Basic Cube, Body Centered Cube, and Face Centered Cube
DN: Take a blank sheet of paper and make a mini-book. Draw a crystal on the cover and add title.
Reminders: [1] Pairs that miss the due date will have to turn in Solo projects. Additionally, Low Grade Designs will not be accepted. [2] To avoid building a Low Grade design have the the door swing up to shut and don’t connect the bait directly to the door.
