9th Grade: Week of March 2-6

Hello,
Our Mystery Class unit will get much more interesting on Friday, March 27 when each mystery class will begin sending us cultural, historical, or geographical clues (in addition to the sunrise/sunset data). We will be continuing with Chapter 7 this week. Tuesday and Wednesday, you will work with your table group and making the analogy of Twin Falls to a cell, determine what cell organelles match what structures in Twin Falls in terms of function. So please review the cell organelles in section 7-2. The homework and DUE dates are as follows:

Tuesday, March 3: Complete Section 7-1 Assessment Questions 1-3 and 5 in complete sentences (p. 173).

Friday, March 6: Go to the Solar Folklore page at http://solar-center.stanford.edu/folklore/#mesopotamia. Various cultures explained the sun and seasons in (what appeared to them) logical ways. Pick one of the these cultures (Indigenous American · Indigenous Australian · Mesopotamia · Judeo-Christian · Other Cultures) and read about how they explained the sun. Summarize your reading into a 5+ sentence paragraph.

Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
