Monday Class

Last day of the Bottle Design Challenge.

1. Students were assessed on their bottles within small group interactions.

2. Students completed a journal reflection on what their eco-columns would look like 2 weeks from now.

3. Students cleaned-up their projects and work space.

We look forward to beginning our next project, "Bee the Hope" later this week!

Friday Class

Today in science, students had a chance to finalize their revisions from yesterday's bottle eco-column work. We had a chance to go outside to recollect items needed to increase biodiversity in our eco-columns. Monday we will re-assess each of the columns!

Thursday Class

Today in science we accomplished the following:

1. Content Assessment: Here is a link to today's assessment on our ecology content from the Bottle Biology Project. All students will be taking this.

2. Reflection Journal:

3. Revision of Bottles Based on yesterday's feedback and grades...students have the opportunity to improve their prototypes and revise their structure. Tomorrow we will be outside with different tools to collect a more diverse factor set!

Wednesday Class

Today in science we had shorter class periods due to the ACT Explore testing in the morning. Students completed their eco-columns and were graded on their product. Tomorrow we will take a content assessment, assess our collaboration, and reflect on our work.

Monday Class

Today students had a choice:
1. Stay inside to finish the construction of their eco-columns. or...

2. Go Outside and collect organisms to go in their eco-columns.

The Deliverable for this project is a constructed eco-column. Here is a link to the rubric that will be used to grade the products. The Deliverable date set is this WEDNESDAY. 

Friday Class

Today in science was a build day! Students built their bottle eco-columns. Here is a link to the rubric that will be used to grade the products.

On Monday and Tuesday, students will have the opportunity to go outside to a variety of habitats to collect factors for their eco-columns.

The deliverable date for the end product is next Wednesday, September 25.
