For the last minutes of the class or as tonight's homework:
Complete the summary table posted in Schoology (up to the videos you observed today which should help you make important connections between what you should be learning in class and how it connects to the central phenomenon and driving question for this unit: Why are large populations of fish dying in the Hood Canal? The Summary table needs to be completed before the period tomorrow so you can share it with your table group. Before class Mr. Rapin will check to see that this task was completed or not (10 points).

Quiz on yesterdays homework questions- posted in Schoology
(10 minutes)
Share the ideas you had on your Summary table with your table group, focus on connections you made yesterday relating to the Hood Canal phenomenon.
Start your midpoint 2.0 model. Work with 1 to 2 other table partners. Write the
Here are some scientific studies to help you with your model.
Nitrogen in Hood Canal

Friday
- Students are to present their scientific investigations scenarios to the class. Kevin Knowles can help with getting document camera up and how to use it for showing group pre-lab flowcharts to class.
- Class is to take notes and complete accompanying investigations with information given by each group. Hopefully class members are asking questions to check for accurate understanding.
- On Wednesday there will be a 4-5 question quiz on similar scenarios and their design. All PLF elements are fair game. There also will be a quiz on all terms in the TIP Chart on Friday.
