Changing Earths Surface: Water and Ice
Learning Targets:
- I can explain how glaciers have shaped the Michigan landscape and how the resulting landforms affect our states economy.
- I can explain what happens to the earths lithosphere when an ice sheet ice removed.
- I can explain the formation of the Great Lakes.
- I can explain the origin of Michigan land forms, and describe and identify these surface features.
- I can describe how moving water creates erosional and depositional features.

Assignment - After you complete the writing assignment today, please make a journal review using the same rubric as we did earlier (look in your journal). Copy and paste the the rubric at the top of the journal. Change the title to Mass Movements and Glaciers and change the dates to reflect the dates since the last journal review.
April 16 & 17, 2014

LT = 1-5
- To begin the day, please find the invitation to join my Coggle in your email.
- You will need to join using your google login information - it's ok, Coggle is made by Google.
- Once you have joined, go to their home page (coggle.it) and you should be able to open the file called "How Glaciers Change the Earths Surface". These are the instructions for making your own coggle that will address the main idea of how glaciers change the earth's surface. Follow the instructions on the coggle to create your own concept map/coggle.
- Read the instructions carefully and explore the features in the menu.
- You will be required to collaborate with one another and to include at least 8 images. These can be the same as used in you journal reading guide.
- Due - end of class Thursday

Test Review - Erosion, Weathering, Mass Wasting, Glaciers, and Rivers
Friday, May 1
Test -Erosion, Weathering, Mass Wasting, Glaciers, and Rivers
LT# 5 I can describe how moving water creates erosional and depositional features.
Agenda:
- Messing About - do a few trial runs with the stream table? How do variables like rate of flow and steepness affect the erosion and deposition of sediments? What shapes dos the the stream take? What types of features can you recognize?
- Use the lab instructions to complete the investigation.
- Completed lab report is due at the end of class Tuesday.
- Use this document as the summary for the investigation. This must be completed and posted in your Google-Journal. The paper instructions and drawings will be handed in.
