Science 6

Week 9 - 10:   

This week, students will be continuing their exploration of Watersheds.  We previously explored the basics and zones within a given watershed; in Week 9, students will share researched information about factors that affect watersheds, and learn additional specifics as well.  The salmon eggs have arrived to the classroom, so once we wrap up the watershed information, students will explore salmon life cycles and survival needs in Week 10, circling back to explore the factors that contribute to a healthy watershed and help ensure the survival of salmon runs.  

Simultaneously, students are also finishing up their Water Cycle Labs, and presenting their findings to their peers during daily presentations.  These presentations will continue through Weeks 9-10 as we work through all students in the class. 

The Water Cycle Lab Project resources are still linked below.  Other resources from this unit have been moved to the "Archive" section (scroll down to find these.)
