Wednesday Class

Today we introduced our first design challenge of the year!

Design a bottle eco-column that highlights the components of an ecosystem. 

After we introduced the challenge we did a number of things:

1. Developed our Need To Know List
2. Developed Groups and established core group values.
3. Handed out Journals and submitted journal entry: " What can I bring to my team to make this project successful?

Tuesday Class

Today in science we kicked off our first project of the year. This project is based around some general ecological concepts. Tomorrow we will introduce the design challenge. However, we first held a "entry event" today to get everyone thinking about how things interact in nature...we did this by doing a ecological scavenger hunt!

Monday Class

First of all...Welcome to a new group of 7th grade science students!!!!

Here is a link to today's pre-assessment.

Today we do three things:

1. Talk with Mr. Kramer and Mr. Frens
2. Pre-Assessment
3. Resource Tools Search

Wednesday Class (Last Day of School Year)

Driving Question: How can we bring to "life" the "magic" of chemistry?

Wednesday Class

Driving Question: How can we bring to "life" the "magic" of chemistry?

Today we split up into two groups:

1. The first group traveled with Mr. Wandel to the lab room to run a lab on physical change. A major point of emphasis of this lab is to teach proper safety procedures.

2. The second group worked with Mr. Malefyt on their demonstration research.

The Major Demonstration Database will give you resources to begin searching for ideas for your final demonstration.
