Unit overview
NGSS Standards: MS-PS4-1, MS-PS4-2, MS-LS1-1, MS-LS1-2, MS-LS1-3, MS-LS1-8
Unit Overview: This unit explores how the body responds to disease by investigating cells, sound waves, and the interconnectedness of body systems. Students will analyze the phenomenon of measles in New Mexico to generate investigative questions, design experiments, build models, and explore relevant careers.
Use this CALENDAR to write in your agenda each MONDAY!!!
Monday, March 10 - Revise/Retake Day OR Start your Independent Project

Tuesday, March 11 - Independent Project Research
Do Now (WORD CLOUD link here): Write ONE WORD that you are interested in learning more about in this unit. Think about what we've experienced so far: measles outbreaks, hearing loss from a disease, cells as the basic unit of life, bacteria and viruses, what makes something living, and how sound works. What is ONE WORD you wonder about after learning what we have so far?
Activities for the day
Complete the Ear Attack Independent Project RUBRIC (it is in Google Classroom and has YOUR NAME on it) to plan your project for this unit (EVERYONE will need to do a project this time)! You can work with a partner who does NOT sit at your table, or you can work on your own.
Choose a PROJECT you want to make to SHOW US what you found in your research (the choices are in GC in the assignment in a separate Google Doc).
Start RESEARCHING the answer to a question you have about MEASLES, DISEASES, CELLS, HEARING or HEARING LOSS, or VACCINES. TYPE what you find in your science portfolio website under the "Independent Projects" page, in the "Ear Attack" section.
WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR RESEARCH, you can show me in order to get permission to start making your project. If you work at home, you can move ahead, but please make sure you do the research FIRST!!!
EXIT TICKET: Agenda complete for the whole week - CHECK OFF OR CROSS OUT today's assignment if you completed it.

Do Now (WATCH THE VIDEO as you prepare to make clay whistles)
Activity today - make a simple clay whistle by following along with the video. WE WILL CLEAN UP WITH 10 minutes to go--MAKE SURE YOU CARVE YOUR NAME INTO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR WHISTLE BEFORE YOU GO TODAY!!!!
NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT BEHAVING SAFELY or are MAKING A LARGE MESS or are NOT ALLOWING US ALL TO CREATE EFFECTIVELY, you will be assigned an alternate assignment on paper or computer with headphones. Please act respectfully and responsibly while we create these together!
If you are at home, not in class, or not participating in clay, please do the Quizziz practice assignments in Google Classroom!

Activities today
Last chance to make a clay whistle by following along with the video. WE WILL CLEAN UP WITH 10 minutes to go--MAKE SURE YOU CARVE YOUR NAME INTO THE BOTTOM OF YOUR WHISTLE BEFORE YOU GO TODAY!!!!
While those who want to finish a whistle work, the rest of us will figure out how sound works, usng an OSCILLOSCOPE! We will write these notes on page 58!!!
