Meme. Vids. Study, Study. Moar Study.

Once we hit the door of the classroom and head out into the glaring sunlight, something happens to most of us: we mentally move on to other activities and forget all about Geography class.

Oops.

Maybe that was the teacher's fault...because the Monty Python song was so memorable. (BTW, here's a cool version, especially if you like astronomy.)



Okay, so back to studying.

What to do before Monday:

• Focus this weekend on the readings, first. Break them down into manageable sections and read a few pages a night.
• Take notes on the reading material.
• Try answering the study guide questions at the end of the lecture notes.
• Ask someone to quiz you on the study guide questions.
• Review the slides.
• Work on the last of the lab work, if you still have some to finish. You don't want to be pulling an all-nighter to get lab work done before exam day! Read the text on those lab pages--there's good info there to support the lab work.

When you're done with all of that, if you'd like to check out more supporting material, check out the first three videos in this Khan Academy segment on Earth's Rotation and Tilt. Or watch the whole Vsauce video, How Earth Moves, that we saw a very small portion of, today. Most of it is pretty advanced, so consider it dessert after your main study meal.

There are so many resources out there on the Internet and in the Real World, you could totally hack your education and test out of this course, if you were feeling driven. But then I wouldn't have a job. And I know you wouldn't want to make your teacher homeless. O_o

Don't forget, you can email, text, call me, or come by my office if you're ever stuck. I'm here to help!

Here are today's slides:
