For those of you that didn't give your oral report, make sure you do a really good job on Friday. For the most part, all of you that went Tuesday did great.

Make sure you read over the print outs I gave you so you are guaranteed a good grade.
Have a nice winter break!!!

We will do a science experiment on Coral.
We will also go over your Coral Reef project. Please have your presentation choice ready.
Also have your Science Fair ideas too.

Coral Reef Project

Hey Kids,
Read your Mod. #11 on Coral Reef for Tuesday. We will have discussion time in class.
Below you will find some Coral Reefs in the world that you might want to do your oral presentation on. This presentation will be very much like the last one you had to do.

1. Your presentation must between 8-12 minutes. 
2. Have nice visuals like - poster, power point, books, song, dance etc. 
3. Enjoy your project. Coral reef are one of the most beautiful things God's created for our world. 
4. Remember, this will count as a test grade for Mod. #11. It could really help you or really hurt you.

I will have a Rubric for you on Tuesday. This will help you have guidelines on the grading.

Have fun researching these beautiful Coral reefs. If you find another one you would like to do other then one I have listed, that is find. Just make sure that you have enough information to do a really good presentation!!!!

• The Great Barrier Reef
• Belize Barrier
• New Caledonia Barrier
• Andros, Bahamas
• Red Sea Coral Reef
• Florida Keys
• Jamaican Reef
• Reefs on the Windward Southeast Hawaii
• Mombasa National Marine Park
• Surin Island
• Seychelles
• Scarborough Reef
• Seribu Island

Things to research and talk about.

• Almost every reef has suffer. Find out what has happened to your reef. Dredging, sewage disposal, hurricanes, tourism, over fished....?
• What are all the different types of species that live on your reef?
• Describe your reefs ecosystem?
• If there is really Global warming, is it effecting your coral reef? If not Global warming, what is?
• Is your reef thriving with life or dying off?

Alert about Friday's test

As I was typing the test up and it was becoming really long and hard. So, because I'm SO NICE, (and a little help from Chandler) I changed my mind. 
Study the first 12 questions on summary #9 and all the even number questions on summary #10. Know them well because there are a lot of blanks. You will still have a word bank. The vocabulary is still on the test.
Happy Studying!!!!
