Today students did another "On-Demand Performance Assessment."  This one was a Personal Narrative. Students wrote about a small moment in their lives in narrative style.  They printed and turned it in.

Homework: Find a poem and either print it and paste in journal or copy it in journal for tonight's journal entry.  This entry should be AT LEAST number 1.7.  We will be checking in poems and using them in class tomorrow for an activity.

 

Science- Thursday, September 24, 2015

Classwork: Completed the notes we started on Tuesday. Students then took the concepts discussed in the notes and applied them to the Investigation we did last week.

Homework: Scientific Processes worksheet (see science folder for a copy). Students were asked to write great short answers on a separate sheet. No incomplete work accepted.

Discussion Starters: Try to design an experiment at home and talk about what the independent, dependent and control variables might be. For example, if you wanted to experiment with a recipe for spaghetti, maybe you would experiment with which types of noodles went best with different sauces.
