6th grade Science:

Monday - Today students will finish decorating and setting up their notebooks. Students got a copy of the table of contents and a new copy of the lab safety contract to put in pages two and three of their notebooks. The very first page is to be decorated with their ideas of energy. What energy means to them. They need to color that.
Then we will begin the lab preparation work for lesson 2 of the Energy, Machines and Motion (EMM) unit. Lesson 2 is on making a battery.
HW - None
Tuesday - Today students completed the EMM Lesson 2 lab, Making a Battery. Here is a link to what students are doing in class with lesson 2.
HW - None
Wednesday - Student-Led Conferences all day today. I'll see my Eagle Time students today. Look forward to watching your conferences!
HW - None
Thursday - Today we will start by debriefing the lesson 2 lab. Then students will complete the reflection questions on p. 15. See the lesson 2 document I wrote in class.
