Earth Science Mr. Ingram
Earth Science News, room 3106, April 8, 2019 The chemical composition of materials in the Earth's mantle will continue to command our attention this week as students investigate ions, ionic compounds, rocks, and minerals.
Lesson Goals & Activities; homework assignments
Friday | April 19
Learning target: List several properties of a medium that could influence wave speed. Success criterion: Identify key properties of media for acoustic waves, water waves, & sound.
