A Quick Trip to 7Billion
After completing the World of 7Billion PRE-TEST pop quiz. Click on the Quick Trip to 7Billion link above to explore the time line and wall chart.
PART 1: Exploring the Timeline
Each event on the timeline is labeled with topic symbol. (Communications, Environment, Food and Agriculutre, Health, Industry/Transportation, Population, Social Justice, or Women's Roles). Events in each of these topics have had direct and indirect impacts on our population over the years.
1. Choose one other topic (from the Topic Key) in addition to Environment. read through each event that is labeled with Environment and the other topic you chose.
2. Complete the graphic organizer, "Topic Essay" (provided in class) to structure the essay you will prepare in class. Answer each question on the worksheets for both (your choice and Environment) topics. It is suggested that you conduct additional research.
3. Some helpful resources are below:

IONIC BONDING
This interactive activity from ChemThink discusses ionic bonding—a type of chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. Investigate how the transfer of electrons between atoms creates ions and how the mutual attraction of these charged particles forms ionic bonds. Also learn about trends in the periodic table of elements, and explore how the structure of an ionic compound relates to its formula.
COVALENT BONDING
This interactive activity from ChemThink describes covalent bonding—a type of chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons. Investigate the attractive and repulsive forces that act on atomic particles and how the sharing of electrons can keep atoms together. See how two hydrogen atoms interact with each other to create a covalent bond. Learn about trends in the periodic table and how electrostatic potential energy determines the bond length. Also, learn about naming conventions for covalent compounds.

MASS MOVEMENT AND WIND
With your group you will create a movie on the topics of Mass Movement and Wind using WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER.
Step 1: Check your work. After showing your groups completed work to your instructor click here to view the key for 5.3 Click here to view the key for 7.3.
Step 2: Plan. With your group you will create a movie that contains the information from the notes you collected about mass movements and wind. Your group may choose to split the two projects into 2 movies (1 for each topic) or just 1 movie with 2 topics. EVERYONE in your group must be an active participant. Plan and submit to your teacher before beginning. See the RUBRIC for details on how you will be graded.
Step 3: Open Windows Movie Maker by clicking on START in lower left of your screen under All Programs click Windows Movie Maker. Familiarize yourself with the tools. Your movie should include narration and pictures that help describe your topic details. Your movie may also include music if available. HINT all files (music, pictures etc.) must be saved in the same location as your movie file in your U drive.
THIS IS DUE NO LATER THAN THURSDAY AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS! NO EXCEPTIONS. IF SOMEONE IS ABSENT FROM Y0UR GROUP YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE UP THEIR SLACK!
