=Day 1: Introducing this Week's Lesson =
 * ==Hello students and welcome to your first day of Lesson 2. Since we have not covered any of the material yet we will be taking time in class today to "popcorn read" a chapter in our science textbooks. Then, I will begin with a PowerPoint presentation that we will refer back to through out the week to go over what the lesson is all about. As I go through the slides, it is important that you take good notes in your notebooks. By taking good notes, it will be easier for you to study and review at home for the Lesson Test, which will be on Friday. Your homework for tonight is to review the different types of rocks we discussed today in class. It will be important to know them for tomorrow! You may even want to take a look at this website for some extra help (Click Here: [|The Rock Cycle] ) ==



=Day 2: Name that Rock! =
 * ==Today, our in-class assignment will be a clicker game called "Name that Rock!" Each of you will be given a remote clicker, with the buttons A,B,and C on it. On the PowerPoint presentation, I have 10 slides, each one describing a certain kind of rock that we discussed in our reading yesterday. I will read the slide aloud, and you will then click in your response- you must answer either A) Igneous, B) Sedimentary or C) Metamorphic. For each answer you enter correctly, you will receive one point. That means that if you answer all questions correctly you will receive 10 points total, which is a 100%. ==
 * ==After we complete the "Name that Rock" game, we will continue with the PowerPoint presentation and talk a little bit about resources. We'll discuss what the difference is between renewable and nonrenewable resources and brainstorm what some resources are that we have here in Florida. ==



=Day 3: eScavenger Hunt =
 * ==Today we will be heading to the Computer Lab for an Online Scavenger Hunt! Each of you will go to your own computer station and I will hand out a worksheet with the directions on it. What you will have to do is go online and research four different renewable resources and four nonrenewable resources. Then, you must record on the worksheet what each resources is and how it is useful to humans. Once you have finished, you must raise your hand and wait for me to collect your paper. ==
 * ==If you finish early, feel free to play and educational game while we wait for the rest of the class to finish up. Here are some fun gaming sites for you to check out! ==

=Day 4: "Causing the Erosion" and Review =
 * ==To start off our lesson today, I found a funny song I thought you'd all enjoy! It's a song called "Causing the Erosion" and it's all about the weathering of rocks and soil! Go check it out and pay attention to the lyrics! ==
 * ==[] ==
 * ==I hope you enjoyed the video, for the rest of our class today we will discuss weathering and erosion. In my PowerPoint presentation, I have some pictures that show just how powerful erosion can be! Remember everyone, the test is tomorrow so it's very important you study tonight and review everything that we've done this week! ==



=Day 5: Lesson Test Today! =
 * ==<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Okay class, today you will all be taking the Lesson 1 Test. I will pass out the test that is 20 questions long and you must answer each question to the best of your ability. It includes six fill-in-the-blank, six matching, five true or false and 3 short response. If you have any questions please raise your hand and I will be right over to help. I know you will all do great! Good luck! ==
