Students are to complete the 7.3-4 Review on page 38A. The following needs to be completed:
What did we do?
What evidence did we gather?
My answer to the question- What affects the temperature of a system?
How does this connect to the unit challenge?
Vocabulary words. CONSTANT, INDEPENDENT VARIABLE DEPENDANT VARIABLE, SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Here is our float. Advisory students worked cooperatively to build this for the last week.
Students in advisory have been working on the Spirit Day Float. It was great to see how many people came together to figure out how to make the float.
Today was MEME day for spirit week. Students in advisory showed some spirit. Tomorrow is Decade Day. Dress like someone from the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s.
Students completed a test today. The results will be in the computer after each class. Students wishing to retake the test will need to follow the retake policy. Please visit my blog for the retake policy. Remember, the retake test is a different form than the first test. The retake will be on Thursday morning at 7:30 and Thursday after school.
Students have a 3-2-1 Summary due on Friday, February 14th. The articles for each class are as follows: 2nd Hour-We’re Still Here, 3rd Hour- Your Brain on Games, 4th Hour- Saving Slow Lorises, 5th Hour- Monkey Crossing, 6th Hour- Journey to the Deep.
Students read a text about conduction, convection and radiation. Students were to take notes on the information after they annotated the text. Students were given a 12 question sheet on the ways thermal heat is transfered. This is due tomorrow.
In the lab completed on February 4th students discovered thermal energy is transfered at different rates depending on the object the energy is traveling. Below are students taking the temperature of the liquids after heated bolts are added to water and oil.
Students will have science test on Monday, February 10th. The concepts students will need to know have been discussed in the Cocoa Collision Simulation, Hot and Cold Hands Lab, Food Coloring in Hot/Cold Water Lab and the Videos shown in class. Students should have an understanding of the following vocabulary words: convection, conduction, radiation, thermal energy, conventions, energy transfer, random, equilibrium. Students have worksheets in their Interactive Science notebooks to use as a study guide.
