Wednesday Class

Yesterday we introduced the year end island project. We also divided the students into their groups. While this year end project is an evaluation, we also have made it into a competition that we refer to as the science apprentice.

Today we had our first day working in groups. Tasks that groups did today include:
1. Brainstorm Sheet
2. Sketching of Map
3. Set up plan for project responsibilities.

The page for this project can be found on our resource pages!

Monday Class (5/24/10)

Today in science we did an activity based on the book, "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss. This is a lead in to the project that we start tomorrow.

Friday Class

Today we took the year end common assessment. This assessment covered all the topics that we learned throughout the year.

Monday we will kick off our year end project called the "Science Apprentice...Survivor Island". We will start that off by doing a one day activity on Dr. Seuss' book "The Lorax."

There is no homework assigned! Have a great weekend everyone!

Wave Web Quest (Monday Class)

Today you will be doing a web quest on waves. Click here to access the quest. Make sure you follow the procedure!

Today in science we did two things:
1. Finished the presentations that we started yesterday on the characteristics of waves.
2. Did a "exploration" lab on sound and sound waves. This lab is not available online, but nothing will be handed in from this lab.

Tomorrow we will do our Chemistry Magic Show that the students are really looking forward too:) We couldn't do this at the original scheduled day due to weather. Some of our "tricks" need to be done outdoors!
