Tomorrow we will be working with Mic Crenshaw in the morning from 10:25 - 11:25 (AMAZING 4 bars that you all shared this afternoon by the way!) and Marv Pemberton around climate change in the afternoon 12:05 - 1:05. As a result, you have no homework due tomorrow.

HOWEVER, you will have your OMSI - Ice Worlds field study assignment due MONDAY, 2/10. We brainstormed evidence and worked on this in class for 30 minutes this afternoon. Finish this up sooner, rather than later, so that you don't have a rush of homework on Sunday evening.

Ice Worlds is a tour of the icy landscapes of our solar system, especially our home planet Earth. In Ice Worlds audiences explore the critical relationship between ice and life – “a tale of friend and foe, enabling, challenging, supporting and adapting” – that has developed over millions of years.
