On Monday we will be doing 4.6 "making shale". I need to collect some different kinds of sediments from various locations around the area. Have a great weekend and look for Mr. Coberly and I during the World Series game on Saturday night. We will be in the left field seats, below the scoreboard, and nine rows up from the field. I'll post pics of the game here on Monday.

• 4.2 Stream Tables

Today we will be observing the stream table and recording the observations on lab p. 26-29. I want to see evidence of careful observation. On the stream table map, draw what you see. Make sure to include the little details and label the different landforms. When you're filling out the Model Observation page, communicate your observations with as much detail as possible. The purpose of this demonstration is not to entertain you, but for you to learn from.
