Monday Class

Today we started discussing owl pellets and barn owls. This week students will begin an owl pellet lab.  To help with these we showed some clips embedded at the end of this post.

Students also took an assessment on producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Students also had some time to finish their writing from last week.

Wednesday Class

After a good morning of MEAP we get to have shorter class periods...

We split into two groups today...One group worked on some concepts from our last assessment on species, population, community, and ecosystems.

The other group worked on an activity about producers, consumers, and decomposers. That activity can be found on edmodo or by clicking here! This activity will take a couple of days to complete in class...especially given the shorter class periods.

Friday Primetime Class (Malefyt)

For those students who have Mr. Malefyt in Primetime today....

So sorry I could not be with your class today :) I hope that you are having a good day! Here is the procedure for today's class:

1.  Each student will need to complete a self evaluation on flexibility and adaptability today. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THAT EVALUATION! I ask that you spend some time reading through it and putting effort in creating an honest response! 

2. Watch the following Video on WHY these people do what they do...

Nikon - WHY from Corey Rich on Vimeo.





3. Using any app of your choice...Create something that demonstrates the WHY behind something you enjoy. This will be shown in class on Monday!

CONCLUSION: We will be talking on Monday about changing a focus from the What to the Why...Being Flexible... 

Thursday Class

Today in science students had a variety of options:
1. Some students had a chance to relearn some ideas from the last assessment on the scientific process.
2. Some students finished all the bottle biology road map.
3. Some worked on the questions activity part 2 for the anchor project.

 Some students in Mr. Malefyt's primetime will need to complete a self evaluation on flexibility and adaptability today. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THAT EVALUATION!
