D & C Blocks - Social and Environmental Sciences - All morning long with Benton today. Yesterday you had time to complete the Field Trip package from the Traditional Ecological Knowledge field study of fish traps in the Courtenay River estuary. To help with that:
Benton will take you down to the Tsolum for a river study. You'll look at some important characteristics of a river and do a review of local hydrographs. On the field study, you'll be measuring flow and volume, freshwater invertebrate identification as indicators of water quality, with a summative report to be completed.
The quantity of water passing by a point on the stream bank in a given interval of time is the stream’s discharge. A stream’s discharge may vary because of changes in precipitation or the melting of winter snow cover. In response to varying discharge and load, the channel continuously adjusts its shape (and location). Discharge (expressed in cubic meters per second m3/s ) is a factor of width, depth for a specific cross section of the channel and velocity (Q=WxDxV). A hydrograph helps to measure discharge. Here is the provisional hydrometric data graph for the Tsolum River (near Courtenay) from September 14th to 23rd, 2021 (08HB011) Compare that to the Fraser River at Hope (08MF005). Notice any differences? The rest of the morning will be work related to Discharge, flow and hydrographic data

B Block Physical Geography - Today we'll discuss the differences between
Sial and Sima (continental and oceanic crust) along with figuring out what
buoyancy and isostasy are. You'll need to complete question 9 from page 366 of
the text (isostasy, isostatic rebound, and crustal equilibrium). We'll also
transfer some notes into our week 2 package on the rock cycle. If you need help look at
the Geology for Kids web page or the e-notes on Earthfacts
If there's time we'll begin our look at Igneous processes...

A Block Criminology - Today I'll have you work on the three questions about crime trends I posted yesterday:
- Using pages 37 to 46 in the CRIM textbook outline and explain the crime patterns in relation to ecology, firearms, social class, age, gender and race.
- What is a chronic offender and what is the significance of Marvin Wolfgang's discovery (why is identifying the chronic offender important)?
- How would you explain the gender differences in the crime rate (why do you think males are more violent than females)?

After a bit, if there's time, we'll talk about victims of crime. Every day we have specific routines we engage in. Many of these routines are tailored to preventing us from becoming victims of crime. We do things like lock our doors, watch where we walk at night, or avoid walking alone. We take these actions because at some level we are afraid of the possibility of being a victim of crime. Despite taking these actions people often fall prey to crime in Canada. So what do we know about victimization?
