Students were asked to draw a model of a system in class last Thursday. That model was a summative grade. Students have the opportunity to redo the model either in the morning at 7:20 in Mr. Bailey’s classroom, or after school in my classroom. The diagram should only take 20 minutes to complete. Students who wish to complete the retake must follow the retake policy. The retake policy is on this blog, was talked about in class 3 times. discussed at open house and was sent home in a brochure.

Today in class we discussed what good models should include. We also read about annotating text. Students received an ANNOTATION DIRECTION paper which was to be glued into their ISN on page B of their appendix.

Students have an article about Modeling which is to be read and annotated like was modeled in class today. Below are copies of the Modeling article and the Annotating Text directions.

Students used today to organizer their 100 page composition notebook. Students started with a the purpose and the norms of the Interactive Science Notebook (ISN). After that students added 5 pages of table of contents and then numbered the first 12 pages. Students will use this notebook for all science work. Below is the first page which shows the purpose and the norms for the ISN.

This is the first page to the ISN which all students should have each day in science class.
