The 3-2-1 article summary is due on Friday.

Students continued working in groups today to complete their final presentations. For homework, students should share their presentations to someone at home. Students should be able to explain “How we can capture and transform energy from the world around us to help meet our needs.” Students should have models included in their googleslides to help them explain their thinking.

Students also have a 3-2-1 article summary due on Friday. This was assigned 2 weeks ago. The article for each class are below:

2nd Hour- Crazy Putty

3rd Hour- Cake Chemist

4th Hour- Defying Gravity

5th Hour- Earth Rocks

6th Hour- Spot Check

Students have been working on presentations as an ending to the “Off the Grid” unit. Groups of 3-4 students are answering the following question: How can we capture and transform energy from the world around us to help meet our needs. Students are using the following two documents to assist them.

The questions below are due tomorrow. Most of these were completed in class. Questions are to be answered in a complete sentence on page 22A and 22B.
