Standard 4: The Physical Setting Students will understand and apply scientific concepts, principles, and theories pertaining to the
physical setting and living environment and recognize the historical development of ideas in science. Key Idea 2: Many of the phenomena that we observe on Earth involve interactions among components of
air, water, and land.
PS 2.1d Erosion and deposition result from the
interaction among air, water,
and land.
PS 2.1e Extreme natural events (floods, fires,
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other severe storms) may
have positive or negative impacts on
living things.
PS 2.1c Water is recycled by natural processes on Earth.

Lesson 6: Let’s Stock Up!
Annotated AnalysisThe tracking of Home Depot Inc. and Lowe’s stocks from 10/17/11 through 10/21/11 indicates that both stocks performed well each day. The graphs showed the increase of prices of both stocks for five days. On no particular day did any of the stock repeat themselves, there’s no mode for Home Depot Inc. or Lowe’s indicating a significant gain in both stock's value. Home Depot started with a price of $34.65 and increased each day by an average price of $0.53 ending the week with an increased price of $36.86. The stock had a range of $2.21 overall, the mean of the stock was $35.72, the median was $35.73, and the stock had a minimum value of $34.65 and maximum value of $36.86. Home Depot's stock prices for the entire week showed a great overall performance for the week. Lowe’s stock showed similar behavior in the stock market. Lowe’s stock price started with a minimum value of $20.80 ending with a maximum value $22.13. The average price increase was $0.56, the mean was $21.40, the median was $21.49, and the stock had a range of $1.33. Lowe’s stock price on each given day was hopeful. Both stocks made a small profit each day for investors, making them stable stocks for long term investments.

IntroductionOur MST Unit entitled, “Interactions of Air Water and Land Natural Disasters” allows teachers, students and parents to retrieved insightful information from useful websites on natural disasters. These websites take students on a scavenger hunt by allowing them to search for important facts and information on nature's greatest natural disasters.
What a Disaster! An Internet Hotlist on Natural Disasters
Filamentality Web PageStudents will be using the Filamentality webpage during Lesson 5. During the lesson students will be working in groups of four based on their learning needs and abilities, social skills, and academic strength which is assessed prior to the lesson. They will be assigned various roles such as researcher, writer, editor, and leader.
Each group will be assigned to a computer station and visit the Filamentality website: http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listnaturalfl.html
They will be responsible for working as a team and find ten hurricane related words found on their worksheets. They have 20 minutes to scavenge online for the answers using the website links.
After the scavenger hunt, the class with regroup to share their results and feelings regarding their online scavenger hunt experience.
Filamentality Web Page
