Today we finished our timeline project. We had to label on the side, what period of time in the geologic timescale it was, and color in a specific color. For the Precambrian super-eon, we had a couple meters of orange to cover. By the way, I did not blog last week, because of our field trip. We took a 1 night field trip to the United States National Whitewater Center. There we went on rope courses, White water rafts, and we went zip lining. Some of the rope courses, were really challenging, yet really fun!

Today we did a lab practicum for our Geologic Timeline lab. It was the first lab practicum that I have ever done. We had to answer questions based on what we learned while doing the lab. The good thing is, that we were able to use the timelines. We had to list the number of million years since something has happened. We also had to answer some questions like "What eon are we currently in?" and "In what period, did land plants emerge?". I think that I did good on the lab practicum.

Today we studied for our Unit 2 test tomorrow. We brain dumped, by putting anything that we need to know for the test. I put down something about the geologic timescale, and the three eons in the Precambrian super-eon.We also played a game for review. In this game we divided into 3 groups, and 1 person answered a question per round. If we answer the question, we can take 2 life from the other teams. We can also take a basketball shot, and if we make it, we can take 4 life from the other teams. We did not win, but it was still fun.

Today we took our test for Unit 2. I think I did very well on it. There was one question on it though, that I don't know if I got right. We had to list what state of matter each layer of the Earth was. I was not so sure about the mantle. Is said that the mantle was a liquid-solid, or something like that. I hope that this is a good enough answer. I can't wait to see the result.

We reviewed our Unit 2 test, and I got a 100% on it! I was really happy. I got the question of the mantle right. We then also reviewed the test. It seemed that many people didn't do as well. This is probably a bad test to not do well, because it is worth so many points. We then looked at videos of coal mines, to preview our next unit.
Summary: This week was a great week. I did well on my quiz. I still need to increase efficiency while doing homework.
