Read and write every day! Record the title of the book/text and the pages read each day in your learning log.

• Learn new words. Listen and look for new words each day this week. Create a vocabulary log that includes the new word, its definition, where you read/heard it, and use it in a new sentence. Draw a picture that represents the meaning of the word - that will help you remember it. Make a goal to listen for and read for at least five new words a day. Be sure the new words come from a combination of reading and listening.

• Writing Prompt: Think about how local businesses have been impacted by the stay-at-home orders issued by local and federal officials. Write an essay in which you support your position about whether or not local businesses should be allowed to operate as usual during this time. Give at least two reasons for your position, and each of those reasons should be supported with personal anecdotes or information from other sources.

• Pete’s Pipes designed a layout of pipes for a landscaping project. The design is shown below.

• List all of the angles that are congruent to ∠8. What do you notice about the positioning of this set of angles?

• Confirm that there are no labeled angles in the diagram congruent to ∠5. How is the positioning of ∠5 different from the positioning of the other labeled angle? (To confirm this, you could trace ∠5 on a piece of paper and hover the paper over the other angles.)

  • What do you notice about ∠1 compared to ∠3 and ∠1 compared to ∠8 with respect to their positions and measures?

The local Children’s Science Discovery Center of Weatherford has asked you to create a cell analogy (cell to a school, a factory, an army base, an airport, a mall, etc.) to help visitors understand the structure and function of cell organelles.

• Research the functions of the following organelles:

  • nucleus

  • mitochondrion

  • cell membrane

  • vacuole

  • golgi apparatus

  • endoplasmic reticulum

  • ribosome

  • lysosome

  • chloroplast and cell wall (in plant cells only, if you choose plant cell instead of animal cell, either is fine)

  • Draw and label your analogy (school, army base, etc.) and relate each structure and its function in your analogy to the organelles in cells (example, the lysosome cleans the cell of waste materials and it relates to the latrine on an army base where waste is stored and removed).
