This week in Science:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • We will review for the upcoming Science test on Thursday\/Friday A-B Days<\/strong> regarding the similarities between the structure and function of plant and animal cell organelles. The best study guide<\/strong>\u00a0to prepare them for both the project and test are:\n
      \n
    • Plant and Animal Cell Flipbooks<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
    • Cell Parts Chart Table\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n
    • Lecture powerpoint (posted on Google Classroom)<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Students will be given time in class to work with their small group of 4-5 to finalize their playdoh model of the cell, and their blueprint of a school to reveal their understanding of the organelles and their functions through “Cell to School analogy” project.<\/li>\n
    • Students will get a chance to explain their blueprint and model to their peers as they travel from table to table in a Gallery Walk format.<\/li>\n
    • I wish all the best of luck on their class project, and test this week; BOTH ARE SUMMATIVE and worth 100 points each.<\/li>\n
    • When we return from break, we will be changing gears in Science and move from Life Science (CELLS<\/strong>) to Earth Science (Weather & Climate<\/strong>)!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Have a wonderful week and Winter Break!<\/p>\n

      Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you ALL!<\/p>\n
