Preparing for tomorrow's test

Preparing for the test on Hurricane Katrina, Global Climates, and Global Warming

Part of the test will cover the video The Storm That Drowned a City: Hurricane Katrina (which can be viewed again here). You should refer to the notes you took while you watched. You may also refer to the accompanying website.

You are also responsible for the material on Global Climates found on p. 53 – 55 in your text. Be familiar with the five processes that influence our global climate.

There will be questions on the test about Global Warming that refer to p. 56 – 61 in your text. Be able to identify causes of Global Warming, and be able to identify the greenhouse gases and their sources. Based on this material, and our class discussions, you should also be able to tell the difference between a true statement, a false statement, and a statement of opinion.

This test will be taken on paper, so remember to bring a pen. Questions will be fill in the blank, multiple choice, and short answer, plus you will write a brief essay. You may refer to your notes, blogs and websites while taking the test. You may not refer to your textbook.

The test is worth 100 points. Study hard and good things will happen!
