Week of
Sept. 8th - 19th
*Note: This Science Question of the Week is a bit more complicated, so I'm giving you an extra week. If you choose to complete it and do a good job, you'll get 2 pieces of candy for this one!
Step 1: Watch all 4 videos about Uncovering Evolutionary Relationships with Extinct Species at this link. Take notes on each video and submit them to me via email or by sharing a Google Doc.
Step 2: Email me at sindt.kathleen@westside66.net to get a copy of the pdf I've linked below. Upon receiving your request, I'll put a copy in your homeroom teacher's mailbox.
Step 3: Complete the Comparative Anatomy: Extinct vs. Modern Species Mini-Project where you will compare the anatomy of an extinct species from Museum Alive with David Attenborough to that of a modern-day animal. Use visual evidence and scientific reasoning to show how similarities and differences in body structures help scientists understand evolution.
Step 4: Ask your homeroom or science teacher to put your completed PDF in my mailbox sometime before the due date.
Email Mr. Condon for more information!
All WMS 7th & 8th graders will have an opportunity to take a Science Bee qualifying test - date to be determined. This test will be taken during the day in Science class. The top scorers on the qualifying test will be invited to participate in the WMS Science Bee. This contest is sponsored by IAC-International Academic Competitions.
