6th Grade Science
Monday -
ITBS testing this week!
Today we will
grade our soil drainage lab packets and our students will score
their lab write-ups.
The water
in the creek is way too high and fast today. We will not set any
traps this week until the water level goes down and until it slows
down!
HW - None
Tuesday -
Today
we will finish grading the lab packet and/or scoring
the lab write-ups. As groups finish scoring their lab write-ups
(or finish their lab write-ups), they can work on their Geology
Hyperstudio stacks to make them better before I score them.
BMX Assembly today.
HW - None
Wednesday
- Today
will be everyone's last chance to either finish their lab write-up
and get it scored, or to make their Geology
Hyperstudios as excellent and exciting as possible.
Early release
today.
HW - None
Thursday
- In
science, we will begin a math and science exploration in science
this week!
We will begin
today by observing some viscous branching examples and having
a discussion about the patterns students will see. Vocabulary
word for today (viscous/viscosity).
HW - Learn
that viscosity is the resistance a liquid has to change its
shape. For example, in our predicting lava flows lab, the molasses
represented high silica lava, both high viscosity or viscous
liquids. The cornstarch and water mixture represented low silica
lava (like pahoehoe) which is a low viscosity liquid.
Friday -
Today we will look at
randomness. Students will conduct a lab on coin flipping to graph
the results and compare their graphs. (What did we find out? The
more trials we did the more our graphs displayed a bell shaped
curve, revealing that heads will come almost 50% of the time every
time!)
HW - None
