Week of:   November 16th

A short week for students this week – looking forward to meeting with parents at conferences on Thursday and Friday!

 

 

And the trivia question for the week?  You have a great idea for a Christmas present for your mom.   But, she needs to be sized up by a Brannock Device.   What will you buy your mom for Christmas based on the information you receive from the device?  (remember – first one to email the correct answer wins!)

 

If you have any empty egg cartons available, I would greatly appreciate it if you would send them in for our 6th graders – thanks!

 

 

This week, 6th grade students will complete their work on Lesson s 3 and 4 (Vertebrates and Invertebrates) with a test on Tuesday.   We will review in class on Monday, but you can get a head start by looking at these objectives:

·         Explore differences among invertebrates

·         Compare and contrast the phyla of invertebrates

·         Explain how people interact with invertebrates

·         Explore ways of comparing vertebrates

·         Compare and contrast classes of vertebrates

·         Discuss how people can help save endangered species

 

What’s next for 6th graders?   We will be dissecting Owl Pellets starting on Wednesday!   Now this is going to be fun!

 

 

7th graders – We will continue working with magnets this week with some virtual experiments and a test on Thursday of Chapter 7.   Here are the magnetism objectives:

·         Explain how magnetism can produce electricity

·         Describe how a magnet acts

·         Explain what a magnetic field is

·         Describe the relationship between electricity and magnetism

·         Explain how electricity can produce magnetism

 

Grade 8:   Well, we will continue working on Chapter 2 this week as the test on Thursday indicates we need some more time on this Chapter.   There will be a re-take in Class on Thursday IF we are ready for it.   Otherwise the test will be the following week.   Here are the Chapter 2 objectives again:

o    Describe key experiments that led to the discovery of subatomic particles

o    Discuss the development of the modern atomic model

o    Compare the locations and properties of protons, neutrons and electrons

o    Describe isotopes in terms of atomic number and mass number

o    Describe the process of radioactive decay

o    Define and use the term half life in a sentence

o    Discuss the different uses of radioactive isotopes
