21	9-11 ES2B Climate is determined by energy transfer from the sun at and near Earth's surface. This energy transfer is influenced by dynamic processes such as cloud cover and Earth's rotation, as well as static conditions such as proximity to mountain ranges and the ocean.	Chapter 12: Engage, Pages 594-595, P/P 1-8	Page 595, R/C 1-5 Check out science website for information about P/R required for Honors credit		Explain the factors that affect climate in different parts of Washington state

April 7	9-11 ES2B Climate is determined by energy transfer from the sun at and near Earth's surface. This energy transfer is influenced by dynamic processes such as cloud cover and Earth's rotation, as well as static conditions such as proximity to mountain ranges and the ocean. Human activities, such as burning of fossil fuels, also affect the global climate.	Chasing Ice: Record 10 things that you learned as you watch	None		Explain the factors that affect climate in different parts of Washington state and other parts of the world
April 8		Finish Video - Record 5 more new ideas Explore/Explain Part 1: pages 609-610, p/p 1-2b	P/p 6-Read Water, is it all the same on page 612-613
April 9/10	9-12 APPD The ability to solve problems is greatly enhanced by use of mathematics and information technologies	Continue pages 610-611 - P/P 2c=8  S/T page 612, 1I - pages 612= 1-5			Use proportional reasoning, functions, graphing, and estimation to solve problems
April 11	9-11 ES2C Earth is a system that contains essentially a fixed amount of each stable chemical element existing in different chemical forms. Each element on Earth moves among reservoirs in the solid Earth, oceans, atmosphere, and organisms as part of biogeochemical cycles driven by energy from Earth’s interior and from the Sun	Continue pages 616-619, p/p  6, S/T 1-2			Describe the different forms taken by oxygen, carbon and nitrogen, and the reservoirs where they are found.

Mar 3	9-11 LS1E The genetic information responsible for inherited characteristics is encoded in the DNA molecules in chromosomes. DNA is composed of four subunits (A,T,C,G). The sequence of subunits in a gene specifies the amino acids needed to make express inherited traits a protein.
