In your Science Journal:

1. 1. Write down today’s Lesson Title at the top of your next Journal page.
   2. Write today’s learning objective on the first line.
   3. Explore the Module 6 - Lesson 2 presentation below. Today, we’ll learn about the spheres of Earth and how they interact with each other.  We’ll be exploring a Google Slides presentation. It is a presentation that will help introduce you to the idea of the Earth having different spheres.
   4. Write down the important terms and their definitions and important diagrams (yellow boxes) in your Science Journal.
