Science Classroom Connection

Students are to complete their double journal entries on the rock cycle using ages 28-34. Students have already done the front page as classwork; they need to do the back side of their double journal as homework. This handout will serve as one of the several study guides that the students will be given in class in the coming days.

Students will be evaluated tomorrow on the properties of minerals and their uses based upon our class discussion and the reinforcement study of the material. Students are highly recommended to review their study guides and their double journal entry to be better prepared for tomorrow’s test.

Students are highly advised to study the details of their double journal entry on minerals as well as the review questions that have been assigned on page 7 (1-4) and page 11 (1-4) to be prepared for their evaluation on the material later on this week.

Students are to review their class notes from Tuesday for Wednesday’s post-test assessment on the topics of nature of science that we have discussed and reinforced in class for the past three weeks.

Students will review Monday and Tuesday to prepare for our post-test on the nature of science that is scheduled for Wednesday to determine students’ progress thus far this school year. We will review measurement variables that include mass, volume, calculate density, steps of the scientific method (including data analysis), and Earth’s systems.

Students are to complete their PowerPoint project that is based upon identifying, explaining, and giving an example upon each step of the scientific method as well as elaborating upon the significance of this method in scientific investigations.

Students are to complete the set of review questions on Earth systems and be prepared to share their work with others in class on Wednesday!

Students are to reinforce their study of Earth systems by answering a set of questions that is based upon their reading comprehension of said topic.

Students will learn about how Earth’s systems are interdependent as the students will study the systems’ characteristics and be able to recognize how one system actually influences the other systems over time. students will have an opportunity to read, comment, and share their thoughts on said topic with their classmates as they undertake their reading comprehension assignment in class.

Students need to review their notes on Earth systems thus far. Those who feel that they still need practice on the metric conversions are to redo the set of problems that we did in class today.
