Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.
Choose one of the following tasks pertaining to the role of enzymes:
Research online to find journal articles about new discoveries concerning enzymes. Write a review of the articles, discussing the potential for the experiments to be replicated, the design of the experiments, the quality and quantity of data, and an analysis of the hypothesis generated.
OR
Research the role of enzymes in cell repair. Create an imaginary enzyme which will help increase human’s lifespan.
Create an advertisement poster promoting the enzyme and explaining why the enzymes humans currently have don’t work forever. The poster can include drawings and diagrams as well as slogans.

Instruction:
Read StemScopedia Section C.10GH - Acids & Bases - Take notes and answer the questions as you read. When you have finished, write a summary of what you learned.
Activities:
Virtual Lab - Go to the PhET simulation pH Scale. Complete the lab by following this procedure: Investigation of Acids & Bases. You will be asked to make a copy of the Google document in your drive. Save the document with Acids & Bases Lab as the file name. Complete the procedure, recording data and answering the questions on the Google document or notebook paper as you go. When you are finished, submit the completed lab assignment into Canvas or email it to your teacher.
Review:
Complete the Quizizz assignment found here using the join code provided by your teacher.
Draw and label models of both series and parallel circuits including a power source, a switch, and at least one light per electrical path.
Use various materials to demonstrate the circuit can be broken or maintained depending on the conductive properties of the material. Describe the flow of electrons as they flow through the circuits.
Write your conclusion to your learning by answering the following question:
Why would you want to buy Christmas lights that have parallel circuits rather than series circuits?

Directions for Instruction
Read through the physics classroom tutorial on electric circuits and take notes
Activities:
Choose enough activities so that you are able to complete 1 hour worth of work from the following list to explore electric properties and electric circuits. Send evidence of your work as a photo through email.
Create a T-chart identifying a minimum 5 conductors and 5 insulators in your house. Include a description of the electrical properties of each category in the chart.
Using the physics classroom concept builder investigate properties of a series circuit and ohm’s law. Show work on notebook paper to submit for evidence of learning. https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Concept-Builders/Circuits/Series-Circuits
Using the physics classroom concept builder investigate properties of a parallel circuit and ohm’s law. Show work on notebook paper to submit for evidence of learning. https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Concept-Builders/Circuits/Parallel-Circuits
Draw the following circuits either digitally or on paper and email a picture.
A closed circuit with two light bulbs, battery and a switch in series
A closed circuit with two light bulbs in parallel with a battery.
A closed circuit with three light bulbs and a switch that will turn off only two lights and a battery.
Digestive Disorder Video
Choose a topic and create a short 1:30-2:00min video explaining a digestive disorder. The presentation should include symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis with & without treatment, & pictures of normal vs abnormal digestive functioning. You must include sources in your video.
