Friday December 18th, 2009 - Have a great Christmas Break!!

SNC 1D
1. More thorough discussion of Viewing assignment:
Part A - view & draw the moon each night (weather permitting) at the same time for 7 days. A perfect time to start this project is at 7pm on December 20th. 7pm on the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, or 24th is also ideal. Try to start on a clear night because undoubtedly there will some nights when it will be too cloudy to view well. If you don't start until Dec. 25th, 26th, or 27th, try viewing at 9pm rather than 7pm.
Part B - View and draw Orion 2 different times (ex: 7pm and 10pm) on the same night. Explain how and why it appears to have moved.
2. Make an "astrolab" so that you can include "angle above the horizon" measurements with each of your drawings.

1. Watch remainder of Bill Nye - Food Web. Discussion and take up of answers to worksheet.
2. Lesson/Note: Nutrient and Energy Flow. Main idea: Energy flow is one-way: From the Sun, into producers, to consumers (& through food chains), to decomposers. By then, most of the energy is lost, having been used up by all the living organisms.
Nutrient flow is cyclical. Nutrients are continually cycled from producers to consumers to decomposers and then back to producers (for example, in the form of carbon dioxide and water).

For those who have not yet handed in the chemistry element project, here is a link to the project instruction sheet and rubric:
