  1. Earth Log

  2. Day 1 – Set Up the Earth Log • Write your Name, Class, and Period on the front of EL • There are 100 WHOLE pages in your EL. Number the first 7 WHOLE pages in the top right hand corner of each page. As we progress you will continue to number them in the same location • Page 1 is your Title Page…decorate it as you wish later • Label page 2 as your Table of Contents • Divide the Table of Contents in half by drawing a vertical line down the center of the front and the back of the page (you may want to fold the page first, then draw the line). • Because there are 100 pages, number 1-100 on the Table of Contents page using the front and back. • Make sure you leave enough space next to each number so that you can write the content next to each number. • Label Page 1 as the Title Page, and page 2 as the Table of Contents • If you would like to go ahead and divide your Table of Contents into sections based on the page numbers…here ya go: • Intro: 3-7 • Astronomy: 8-17 • Chemistry: 18-25 • Minerals and Rocks: 26-39 • Weathering and Erosion: 40-50 • Water: 51-62 • Geological Timeline: 63-77 • Plate Tectonics: 78-89 • Weather and Climate: 90-95 • Final Exam: 96-100
