http://www.wunderground.com/ Today we started Act. 53. I have attached the sheet I passed out, as I modified the activity from the textbook original. We did not finish, as we had shortened class time as a result of Late Start Day. We will finish this in class tomorrow. There is no homework. ![]()
Today we passed back graded work, and then started the weather in atmosphere unit with Activity 50. Homework is to complete AQ 1-3. I have attached the textbook files and student sheets. I will be out the classroom tomorrow, and will be back on Wednesday. Students will be in good hands with Todd Ashoff. Students will complete Act 53, and have AQ 1-4 as homework on Tuesday. I have attached all necessary documents.
Today was a medley of test completion, make-up work, and working on our vocabulary glossaries. Student homework is to finish defining the vocabulary for the Weather and Atmosphere Unit. I have attached the unit cover page. ![]()
Today we devoted class to studying for the test. I have attached the study guide. Also please remember that your Mar's Lander packet is due today. You may submit this via submitbox. I have attached the Mars lander packet and a video for how to submit a document via submitbox. The 5 essential questions should be answered in a paragraph. Please study for the final assessment tomorrow!
Today we dropped our Mars Landers for the final trial. Students need to answer the questions in the picture below in their packet in paragraph form. Students may turn this in on Submit box or into the bin. This is due tomorrow. Remember, there is a final assessment on Thursday over the Solar System Unit. I have attached the study guide for those who were absent/did not get it today. ![]()
Today in class we finished assembling our Mars Landers and did our initial trials/changes. We will be doing our final drops tomorrow/Wednesday depending on how many students are gone on the backstage pass field trip tomorrow. The homework is to make sure trials one and two have been completed from a drop height of 5.05 meters. Rocks need to be at the bottom of the rock to keep all trials consistent with the final drop. Students may stay before and after school for these trials. I have also attached the study guide for the final assessment of the Exploring Space unit. The final assessment will be on Thursday. ![]()
Today was construction day for our Mars Lander. We are not done, and we will continue to construct these on Monday. Remember you can do your trials come home, but it needs to be done with a raw egg inside of a bag, and the lander needs to be dropped from 5.05 meters onto a hard rocky surface. Trials will be done during class and after school on Monday before the final drop on Tuesday for those who don't have these requirements at home. There is no homework. Enjoy your weekend! Q: Where do snowmen keep their money? A: In a snow bank!! ![]()
Today we finished questions 1-6 of the Mars Lander packet. I have attached pictures below of additional notes/annotations I added to the packet. We will begin building tomorrow. Please remember to bring in your materials to school tomorrow. I have some materials, but it will be to your benefit to bring some extras. Check your recycle bin for materials you could reuse for your projects! Happy Scavenging! ![]()
