Hello!! Welcome to 5/6 Science! I look forward to this year as we start learning together.
I will post assignments and tasks through Google Classroom, but will strive to keep this update with necessary information and resources.
My email is the best and quickest way to reach me. My goal is to respond within 24 hours (during the school week); or on the day after the weekend. My email is alexander.melissa@battlegroundps.org.
Here are some resources we may use this year:
Amplify - This is our new district curriculum for 6th grade which will be our main focus this year. Students will become familiar with this platform for both inclass and at-home assignments. Students will need access to this program at home - a Chromebook can be checked out, if needed.
Mystery Science - This is a resource your child may be familiar with - The company has complied all the labs they feel would be easy to implement at home. We will be discussing during whole class times.
Newsela - Articles related to science topics for research or to gain background knowledge on a topic
EdPuzzle - Allows use of videos with questions for students to answer
Quizzlet - Interactive Quizzes on a variety of science topics - students can do these on their own or with groups and may be able to repeat the quiz to improve score.
FlipGrid - Allows students to record short video snippets to respond to a prompt or for reflection to a lesson. Students can also respond to other students' work.
Kahoot/Blooket - These are interactive review games that we may do in class to practice or review concepts.
