VIRTUAL LEARNING – WEEK OF APRIL 20TH, 2020<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6th Grade Science<\/strong> \u2013
This week, we\u2019ll be studying, analyzing, and investigating the connections between force and motion. Students will be examining concepts such as Newton\u2019s Laws of Motion, net force, acceleration, and the difference between balanced & unbalanced forces. In addition, we\u2019ll be focusing our efforts on preparing for the Digital Science Fair<\/strong>, which will take place on May 4th, 2020<\/strong>. During this time, students should be finishing their experiments at home, collecting data, and taking photographs of their experimentation process. Since our school building will be closed for the remainder of the academic year, we\u2019ll be switching from a traditional Science Fair to a DIGITAL Science Fair on May 4th, 2020.  Students will continue to carry out their Science Fair experiments and projects at home as planned, but instead of bringing a physical presentation board to school on the day of the fair, they will be submitting a digital Google Slides presentation board to their teachers in Google Classroom instead. All Digital Science Fair instructions, details, deadlines, and rubrics are available in Google Classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOMEWORK<\/u><\/em><\/strong>
1 \u2013 IXL Science 6.B.5 \u2013 Understand an Experimental Protocol about Plant Growth (Work on this anytime Monday-Friday: DUE ON FRIDAY) \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>Complete IXL Science 6.B.5 \u2013 you will need to earn at least a 95% to receive credit for this assignment. Since you\u2019ll complete this work directly in the IXL website, you do not need to turn this into Google Classroom, however, YOU MUST LOG INTO IXL in order for your score to be recorded. Complete this IXL before the end of the school day on FRIDAY (2:15pm). https:\/\/www.ixl.com\/science\/grade-6\/understand-an-experimental-protocol-about-plant-growth<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – MiSTAR 6.4.4 – PhET Collision Virtual Experiment & Lab Report (Work on this anytime \u2013 Monday-Friday: DUE ON FRIDAY) \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>Spend some time checking out this neat PhET simulation to learn more about how force, mass, and elasticity effect collisions. Make sure to click through each of the options and manipulate the settings to create multiple different collisions. Then, answer the lab report questions on the Collision Virtual Experiment Lab Report worksheet). NOTE \u2013 If you\u2019re having a hard time getting the PhET website to load, make sure that you don\u2019t have a pop-up blocker turned on that is preventing the simulation from running. Complete this experiment and lab report before the end of the school day on FRIDAY (2:15pm). https:\/\/phet.colorado.edu\/sims\/collision-lab\/collision-lab_en.html<\/a>

3 \u2013 Do Nows \u2013 Semester 4 (Work on this anytime Monday-Friday: DUE ON FRIDAY) <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Read over the following Do Now prompts and write your Do Now answers in your Semester 4 Google Doc (just update your Do Now Google Doc as you have been doing all semester in class). Make sure to include the date, prompt number, and your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
