Atmosphere

What we've been learning:  We just wrapped up a unit on the atmosphere and ozone layer in Science class.  We looked at the layers of the atmosphere and watched The Inconvenient Truth.  The boys had a tic-tac-toe board for their final.  Two of them showed me their test before they were done because they were so excited about what they created.

Here's Isaac's poem about the layers of the atmosphere.

The stratosphere is the layer with the most ozone.

It's depleting so now everyone's in a rumble.

It gives you skin cancer, so now we're gonna struggle.

But lets forget about that, let's focus on the troposphere. 

The layer closest to us in the whole entire atmosphere. 

The thermosphere so hot, it will give you shock. 

The mesosphere protects us from all the rocks. 

Lets not forget the ionosphere where radio waves bounce back. 

The exosphere furthest away, we're done with that. 

Here's Andrew's cartoon about what someone can do to help the Earth.

Next we are going to focus on how humans are impacting the Earth.  We will be watching several documentaries such as Food Inc., Tapped, and The Bee Movie.  Bring on the last month of school!

Con mucho amor.
