Hello Hornets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week was a very busy week for our seventh graders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monday and Tuesday we finished up our packet on learning what well-defined Criteria and Constraints are. Students finished their packet comparing two different bridges: Mackinac and Tacoma Bridge. We learned that the Mackinac Bridge did not collapse and was a successful design because the constraints were met, and both criteria & constraints were well defined. After finishing the packet students were given a summative exit ticket which was collected at the end of the hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will be grading this weekend so grades will be updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wednesday and Thursday we officially started our first unit 7.1: Off the Grid. Students were introduced to the unit challenge which talked about what life would be like without electricity. When we are “off the grid” we do not have access to electricity\/power. When we are “on the grid” we do have access to electricity\/power. Then we jotted down notes about our morning routines and what part of our daily lives rely or require electricity. Then we went a step further and brainstormed ways our home, town\/city, and country would be like if we were “off the grid”. We put all of our notes on our graphic organizer (bubble map) using guided questions to drive our group\/class discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next week we will be taking a pre-test. Every unit begins with a pre-test. Do not worry about the test because it is used just to see what we know and what we don’t know. At the end of the unit we will take a post-test which will be graded and used to compare to the pre-test to see how much we learned from each unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday- Diamond Jack Field Trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a wonderful weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
