Principle of Superposition: In layers of rocks, the oldest rock is on bottom and the youngest rock in above.
Layers of rocks are put down with the oldest layer at the bottom.
Rock layers or formations that do not “Conform” to this principle are called “Unconformities”.

Welcome Back:
The Spring semester in my class is set up a little differently than the first semester. The goal of 2nd semester is to prepare you for 9th grade. The procedures and expectations HAVE changed and we will get addressing the changes during the first two days of second semester.
Some changes:
Weighed grading:
Your grade will be based on the following setup:
- Daily Work: 5%
- Portfolio: 10%
- Semester Project: 20%
- Final Exam: 15%
- Test and Quizzes: 50%
Biology Latin Terms:
Starting next Friday, you will have a weekly quiz over important latin root prefixes. You MUST take these seriously, not only because they will be a LARGE part of your grade, but most importantly, they will help you be more successful next year in biology.
You will work in a GROUP and create a video on what do do in the case of a Tornado. Your group will create a blog page with everything a person would need to help survive a tornado. More details will be posted on this site. Groups are between 3 and 5 people and group members can be any student currently enrolled in my science classes.
