| 6th grade Science Monday - Today we will take time to finish any last blog posts. More importantly, because students can make up missing blog posts at home, at the library, or after school by making an appointment with me, we will be working on giving feedback by having students read each other's work and leaving comments. We will also go over the lab safety contract. HW - None Tuesday - Today students will be updating their goal planning sheets to write what they learned about energy and what they want to learn about forces. Then we are going to start EMM Lesson 5 on Forces. We are going to start with elastic force. HW - None Wednesday - Today we will continue working on EMM Lesson 5 as we investigate the elastic force of a rubber band. HW - None Thursday - Today student teams will start the actual lab and collect data on the elastic force of a rubber band. HW - None Friday - Today teams will finish their elastic force lab by graphing their data and answering some questions. Then we will start part 2 of Lesson 5 by learning about mass vs weight. HW - None | 8th grade Science Monday - Today we will continue to work on our microscope lessons on pages 11 and 12. Students will then complete the microscopes blog. Then we will work a minipond safari. HW - None Tuesday - Today we are going to try the minipond safari. (My 5th period class spent the whole period doing this because we were finding so many cool little critters in there!) Then students who aren't done with their microscopes blog can work on that while others work on getting their biome badges (they will check their biome project notes and compare them to the standards we targeted to see which standards they learned best and that will be the badge or badges they get!). My 2nd period class went down to the creek to set fish traps today. HW - None Wednesday - Today students who aren't done with their microscopes blog can still work on that while others work on getting their biome badges (they will check their biome project notes and compare them to the standards we targeted to see which standards they learned best and that will be the badge or badges they get!). Then we will watch an ocean acidification video and discuss the implications (this is another example of human impact, this time on the marine biome). My 2nd period class will be visiting the creek again today to see if we caught any fish, identify them, then return them to the creek as we add the counts to a spreadsheet for the Jefferson Conservation District. HW - None Thursday - Today we are going to finish discussing ocean acidification. Then we will work on a Food Miles Activity where 8th graders will calculate how many miles an average lunch travels. The miles will be converted to carbon dioxide to see the carbon footprint of our lunches. HW - None Friday - Today student teams will finish their Food Miles activity. Then they will reflect on what they learned by completing their Food Miles blog assignment. HW - None |
