The students will be having their Chapter 3 (Natural Resources In Your LIfe) test on Thursday, Feb. 5. This chapter took us quite a while because there was a lot to cover.
Students will need to:
1. Give reasons why the fossil fuels are so important to Alberta. (p. 68)
2. List 3 fossil fuels and describe how we use them. (p. 69)
3. Discuss the advantages and challenges of mining the oilsands. (p. 72-73)
4. Understand the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources and give examples of each. (p. 75-77)
5. Describe why agriculture is such an important part of Alberta and how the land is used for farming, ranching. This will include the topic of irrigation as well. (p. 78-82)
6. Identify which regions of Alberta have forests, describe how forestry products are used and discuss ways to protect our forests. (p. 84-87)
7. Describe the steps that show how communities grow because of natural resources. (p. 88)
In order to be consistent with our report card program, eLuminate, each question will be marked as "excellent", "proficient", "acceptable" or "basic".
We will be finishing the chapter on Tuesday and doing a full, in-class review on Wednesday.
Thanks!
Ms. Christie
