Mr. González's Classes Homework/ Daily Activities Week 3, 1/4 to 1/8

6th grade Science: Monday - Turn in your Case of the Mysterious Macros notes (or make sure your notebook is in the correct cubby). Then students will assess their work on the macro notes and the data collecting they did at the creek (students will use this sheet). Research continued as students use this sheet as a graphic organizer to record their research. They will use these websites to conduct their research. HW - None, unless your Macro notes aren't done. Tuesday - Today I will give all 6th graders a progress report in paper form. The online progress reports are also updated and they get updated more frequently than the paper copies. This week students will continue their water quality research using this sheet as a graphic organizer to record their research. They will use these websites to conduct their research.

Thursday -Water Quality Research Continued. HW - Same as Tuesday. Friday - Water Quality Research Continued. After consulting with student teams we are ready to start moving on next week. By Monday students should be either done or mostly done with their research. If teams aren't done they can finish their research at home or they can finish their research while working on the next two phases of this project coming up next week. HW - Same as Tuesday. If you are far behind on your research notes work on those this weekend.

7/8 grade Science: Monday - Seventh and eighth graders will get progress reports today to see what they still need to do. Then they will update their notebook table of contents and glue all their returned papers into their notebooks. As we approach the half-way point of this school year students will have the choice of keeping their current notebook until the end of the year or starting a new one. Which ever way students go they need to take work from their current notebook to place in their portfolios for student-led conferences. HW - Share your progress report with your parents. Catch up as needed. Turn it in signed tomorrow for an extra two points. Tuesday - Today students will continue to work on the properties of Earth materials lab. HW - Same as Monday. Wednesday - Today we will complete our properties of Earth materials lab. HW - Same as Monday. Thursday - Today students will answer some questions about density. We will go over those answers in class. Then I am going to have students blog about what they've learned about density so far and I'm going to have them try something new. Glogging! Yes, they will create a glog and we'll try and put them on our blogs. Too much fun. HW - Same as Monday. Friday - Today students will work on blogging and glogging about Density. HW - Finish your density glog for homework.
