Monday - Students made paper wedge models of the earth, and made a graph showing the temperatures at different depths within the earth. Both the graphs and the models are due Tuesday
Tuesday - Students investigated several every-day items in terms of how well they model the earth. Their reflection (ABSTRACT) judgements (DATA) and comments (DATA), on their Models of Earth Lab are due Thursday.

Thursday - Students will llook at an actual example of a published abstract, reviewing the type of information in the abstract, and the format that it is written in. After assessing the published abstract, they'll share their abstracts from the models of earth lab, and determine whether or not theirs needs additional information or other revision.
