Students will then analyze the data by creating a graph, which serves as their evidence when they make a claim about the source of the outbreak. Students will then produce a CER (<em>Claim, Evidence, Reasoning<\/em>) explaining their claim. <\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> Lastly, in honor of <strong><em>African American History<\/em><\/strong> month, students will have the opportunity to research the life and accomplishments of a prominent African American in the science world.  They will have the choice of working independently or with a small team of no larger than 3.  After their scientist name is approved by me, they are to summarize their finding in a poster or slide show.  Afterward, they will create a short FLIPGRID video summary of their findings as they post it in their class library.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the link to learn about some of the many African American scientists or inventors : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=glZpu0xMSuM\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=glZpu0xMSuM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a wonderful mid-winter break (February 17-21). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs. Savage  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week in Science, students were introduced to UNIT 6.2 : Body Systems.
