Today we started science by looking at the lab from last week Wednesday and viewing this presentation:
We also had an opportunity to bring some of this presentation into some you tube clips that show some of this.

Today in science:
1. We did a Numbers, Pyramids, and Biomass lab from the owl pellet data we collected. Click here to access the lab. STudents will also receive a hard copy of this lab.
2. If students finish #1 they can finish any work they have not gotten done this past week.
3. We are going to do an Exit Ticket using This Website!!!!! For Mr. Malefyt's Class you will enter the following class number: 13784
3. Have a safe and AWESOME 4 day weekend!!!!
LEARNING TARGET: I can evaluate organisms based upon their eating habits and reconstruct the food web they are part of.

Monday Class
Today we continue our owl pellet lab. The following things are on the agenda for today:
1. Students should finish their dissection of the owl pellet.
2. Students need to ID all the animals in their pellet. This is done by looking at the SKULLS only. Here is a classification key that needs to be used.
3. Students should pick ONE animal to reconstruct. Start this process by picking out bones that belong to that animal. Click here to access our resource page that has various bone charts on it.

Today in science we did three things in the shortened class periods (due to MEAP).
1. We watched a collection of student PSA's from the Parasite PSA challenge last week. We had a chance to discuss some of them.
2. We took a quiz on symbiosis.
3. We watched the following TED talk about water. This came about with our discussion on our PSA's.

Wednesday Science Class
Today in science we started off by taking a small quiz on abiotic and biotic factors. During english class today students will be finishing their cause and effect papers that we did earlier in the week.
After the quiz we spent some time discussing the following items:
