Today students did a cut and paste activity with different Earth Systems Interaction Scenarios. They had to read each scenario and decide which two Earth systems were interacting. 

Homework: Complete the Earth Systems Interaction work from today.

If you were absent, go to Google Classroom for Monday October 2, 2023 to see how to make up today's work.

Today, students made observations every 30 seconds on a beaker that contained room temperature water and a beaker that contained room temperature water with ice. Students observed water condensing on the outside of the beaker with ice over the span of 10 minutes.

If a student was absent, they will need to set up a time to make up the observation portion of the lab.

Today, we played a kahoot with questions about the water cycle, we answered some questions about the water cycle to remind ourselves what we learned last week, and we practiced our vocabulary.

If a student was absent, they need to go to Google Classroom and look under the posting for Tuesday October 10, 2023 for instructions on how to make up the work they missed today.

We had MAP testing today so our class time was a bit shorter. Students completed their participation rubric, finished any recent unfinished work, and made appreciation cards for our flexible seating that was funded through Donors Choose. 

If a student was absent, they need to make up the participation rubric. 

Today we did a water cycle demonstration, read about the water cycle and rock cycle, and watched an EdPuzzle on how rocks form. 

Homework: Finish your EdPuzzle. 

If you were absent, you will need to make up the reading/highlighting notes and watching the EdPuzzle. Please go see today's posting in Google Classroom for instructions on what to make up if you were absent.

Today we did a Gizmos lab online with the rock cycle.

If a student was absent, they will need to come see me to create their Gizmos lab and for instructions to the lab to make it up. 

Homework: Rock Cycle Worksheet Label and a maze. The homework worksheet is two sided. Students can access both sides on Google Classroom under today's posting if they forgot it at home. I provided a partial answer key as well to help them. This is due at the start of class on Monday.

Today we did activities to help us learn more about the carbon cycle and what types of objects contain the element carbon. 

If you were absent, please go to Google Classroom's posting for Monday October 16, 2023 to see how you will need to make up today's work.

The only homework is to make up any MSNG work that you have posted in Aspen.

Today students pretended to be a carbon atom on a journey. They used an interactive Google slide deck and dice to learn the different ways carbon moves around our Earth systems. 

If a student was absent today, they need to go check today's posting in Google Classroom to see how they can make up the missed work.

LMS had MAP testing today. We did not meet for science.

Students are continuing to work on their carbon cycle project. Some students finished documenting their journey while other students began sketching out their comic that would depict their own individual carbon atom adventure.

If a student was absent they will need to go to Google Classroom and look at today's assignment to see how to make up today's missed work.

Today students worked on sketching out their carbon atom's journey in a comic strip. We will have one more day to complete this. Students will have Monday's class time then it will be for homework if it is not completed. This will be due at the start of class on Tuesday.

If you were absent today, please go to Google Classroom under today's posting to see how to make up today's work.

Students, to help you with your learning, you can share the journey with someone at home. Explain what locations you went to and what happened to you at those locations. 

Parents/Guardians, I encourage you to ask your student about their journey. Ask them about the locations their carbon atom traveled to and what happened to them while they were there that led them to go to the next location.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Today was our last class day to work on our Carbon Atom Journey and Comic. 

HOMEWORK: If you did not finish your comic in class, you will need to complete it for homework. MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR CHECKLIST. 

Today we read about the carbon cycle in our eBook on pages 12, 13, and 14. Students then tried to highlight the key information independently to practice their note taking. Once students tried to find the key information on their own they compared their work to mine. We finished class by doing an EdPuzzle video on the carbon cycle. 

HOMEWORK:

Students will need to finish any unfinished work from today's class as homework tonight. They will also need to do any MSNG assignments from Aspen. All MSNG work is going to be due on Friday, November 3rd. I will post a copy of highlighted reading for students to check on the stream in Google Classroom.

If you were absent, go check Google Classroom for instructions on how to make up today's work.

We learned about the phosphorus cycle today through reading, highlighting key points, and doing an EdPuzzle.

Students will need to finish any unfinished work from today's class as homework tonight. (highlighted notes, checking their work, and  the EdPuzzle on Phosphorus) They will also need to do any MSNG assignments from Aspen. All MSNG work is going to be due on Friday, November 3rd. I will post a copy of highlighted reading for students to check on the stream in Google Classroom.

TEST:

Our first test will be on November 3rd for chapter 1 lesson 1. Students will spend the time leading up to the test to review the four different Earth systems, how they interact, the water cycle, rock cycle, carbon cycle, and phosphorus cycle. 

If you were absent, you will need to check Google Classroom for instructions on making up today's work.

Today we used our physical textbooks to start our review questions. The assignment from today was called Chapter 1 Lesson 1 Science Notebook.
