9:15 - 11:50 D Block Legal Studies
12:30 - 3:05 A Block Physical Geography
D Block Legal Studies - First...your Criminal Law collaborative test quiz thingy. You have as much time as you need for it. After...I have secured our presence in the Learning Commons to complete the Criminal Law memo project you have due today. Five (5) of you have already submitted complete assignments (they've been graded and the rubric and comment sheet are in the "outbox" in the classroom) whilst two (2) of you have submitted one of your two memos already. This is excellent! Remember, the purpose of the legal memorandum is to answer one or more legal questions in the context of a specific set of facts. It should contain a thorough analysis of the relevant law and provide a well-reasoned answer to the questions posed. I look forward to reading your memos.
A Block Physical Geography - Today we'll begin looking at Albedo, energy distribution, and the greenhouse effect.
We'll also look at heat and temperature in the atmosphere. What is cold and hot? What makes you feel cold or hot? How does that impact you? How might temperature impact natural operating systems on Earth? What about human constructs…how are they affected by heat and cold and are we altering temperature patterns? Oymyakon, in Russia’s Yakutia region, has earned the reputation as the coldest permanently occupied human settlement in the world.
We'll understand the three temperature scales (Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Celsius).
NASA has a good website (Earth Observatory Global Warming) that tries to explain the concept of climate change and global warming without a biased political viewpoint for or against the subject. Check it out. You could also look at the Hyper Physics website from the department of Physics and Astronomy at Georgia State University. We'll take a look at two sections of the National Geographic video "Six Degrees Could Change the World" (1 to 3 degree temperature changes).We will pay more attention to global warming and climate change later on in the course.

Don't forget that every day we are going to start by looking at the synoptic forecast along with weather maps.
