In math class, we will review fraction computation in preparation for your retest on Wednesday. It is very important to learn these fraction skills because you will build upon them in upcoming grades. Ask Ms. Fe about some more study tips you can use to prepare for the test.
In science class, we will dive under the surface of the ocean and take a look at sub-surface topography. Mr. Brandon is a wonderful resource to help guide your studies on this topic. On Monday, we will have a lesson and I will give you your vocabulary list and choice sheet. Your choice sheet will be due next Friday (December 6th) There will be a vocabulary test this Friday on these words:
abyssal
plain- a large, flat, almost level area of the
deep-ocean basin
continental

gently sloping section of the continental margin located between the
continental slope and the abyssal plain
continental
shelf- the
gently sloping section of the continental margin located between the shoreline
and the continental slope.
continental
slope- the steeply inclined section of the
continental margin located between the continental rise and the continental
shelf.
mid-ocean

ocean
trench- a long, narrow, and steep depression in
the ocean floor that forms when one tectonic plate subducts beneath another
plate; trenches run parallel to volcanic island chains or to the coastlines of
continents; also called a trench or a deep-ocean trench

tectonic plates separate
seamount- a submerged mountain on
