6th grade Science

Monday - Students are working on writing a public service announcement blog.  For the last three weeks of class students read about water pollution and took notes to be able to write a scientifically accurate piece.

Those who want more experience points can take more notes at home and turn them in to me via email or google doc or on paper.

HW - None if you're all caught up (see previous three weeks).

Tuesday - Today we're on an Early Release schedule for periods 1, 3, and 5 (each period will be about an hour long).

Today students should finish their rough draft, have a teammate read it and provide feedback, edit their work and publish or republish it. 

Students also need to put a picture on their blog with a title. Using pizap.com to put the title on the image and watching my video tutorials numbers 7 through 10 will show kids how to do it all.

HW - Finish your water pollution Public Service Announcement at home if you have Internet. If you don't have Internet then just finish it on paper.

Wednesday - Today we're on an Early Release schedule for periods 2, 4, and 6 (each period will be about an hour long).

Thursday - Today we will begin to make the transition to the next topic of study: Benthic Macroinvertebrates and Biological Integrity of Rivers, Streams, or Creeks.

HW - See Wednesday.

Friday - Today students will be working on a Benthic Macroinvertebrate Activity in preparation for a guest presenter from the North Olympic Salmon Coalition next week.

HW - See Wednesday.
8th grade Science

Monday - Today students worked on their Punnett Square drawings. They chose traits from two parents, made Punnett Squares to find the probability of the offspring's traits and they draw one possible offspring showing the genotype of the traits and the probability of the offspring actually having those traits.

HW - None

Tuesday - Today we're on an Early Release schedule for periods 1, 3, and 5 (each period will be about an hour long).

Today students will finish the Punnett Square drawing activity and share their offspring and genotype results on their Genetics Blog Assignment.

HW - None

Wednesday - Today we're on an Early Release schedule for periods 2, 4, and 6 (each period will be about an hour long).

Today students will finish the Punnett Square drawing activity and share their offspring and genotype results on their Genetics Blog Assignment.

HW - None

Thursday - Today students will finish their Genetics Blog Assignment

HW - Finish your Genetics Blog Assignment if you didn't finish in class.

Friday - Today students will do a Spongebob Genetics activity to review everything we've been learning about Mendelian Genetics.

HW - Same as yesterday.
