6th grade Science:

Monday - Today we are going to review how the wet cell batteries we built actually worked.
Then we will start lesson 3 on rechargeable batteries.
HW - Here is the lesson 2 work we did in class. If you need to make up any part of it make an arrangement to stay after school so that you can borrow a book.
Tuesday - Today we will finish the lesson 3 lab and work on answering the reflection questions.
HW - None
Wednesday - Today we worked on the lesson 3 reflection questions.
HW - None
Thursday - Today we finished reflecting on lesson 3 and we began lesson 4 on Using and Storing Energy in a Battery.
HW - Lesson 3 notes for those who missed any part of it.
Friday - Today we will be working on the lesson 4 lab.
HW - None

8th grade Science:

Monday - Today we will finish correcting the plate boundary sheet (Scientist's Ideas).
HW - Please complete the first Blog assignment of the 3rd Trimester on the Plate Tectonics project we just finished.
Tuesday -Today we will compare our plate boundary maps to the real thing. I want kids to see how close they came to figuring out where divergent, convergent and transform boundaries are located.
Then we'll start practicing for the Science WASL. I made a packet with all types of questions to prepare for this year's Science WASL. I chose mainly Physical and Life Science questions because this year we have Earth well covered.
Even though the WASL will change form since I have been teaching Science to most of my students since 6th grade I really want them to do their best so that I can see what impact my Science program had on them. I know we've done some great Science and I am hoping their scores will reflect just that.
HW - None
Wednesday - Science WASL practice.
HW - None
Thursday - Science WASL practice.
HW - None
Friday - Today all 8th grade students will be working on Odyssey totem group myths and banners all day.
HW - None
