This week students are taking their annual math and science MEAs. Students will still have regular classes, but on a reduced schedule. Due to the demands of testing and the limited availability of technology for students this week, students will not have assignments they will need to complete outside of class. We will resume our ongoing study of gravity, forces and motion next week.
Have a great testing week!
Students continue to learn about the physics of falling objects by using the online simulation “Free Fall Tower.”
ASSIGNMENTS:
Students are completing their Snow Tube Investigation Report and making any final revisions before turning it in tomorrow. In addition, students have work time to finish their Gravity Webquest and any other science work
ASSIGNMENTS:
I am out today, but students should have everything they need for class using these links and the handout.
Core A – Please work on the Sled Gizmo and complete the class handout
Core B, C, and D: Students will have a self-directed study about gravity today. Use the links below to complete the papers from class:
ASSIGNMENTS:
Students had an amazing day running their investigations at Seacoast Fun Park. Following the trip, students are spending the week working on their investigation reports. The complete assignment has been sent to students in Google Classroom. Students will need to use handouts from class to help them calculate their data, make digital graphs and analyze their findings.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Today we reviewed the rules and procedures related to our Force and Motion Snow Tubing Investigation happening tomorrow. Students practiced their procedures in the hallway in order to allow for a smooth investigation. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
Today students have a quiz reviewing what they have learned about Force and Motion. Following the quiz, students are watching a mythbusters clip testing the force of car crashes. Details for both assignments are in google classroom. Students that missed class due to NAEP testing should plan to take the quiz next week during SLT.
Note: Core A does not meet on Fridays and will take the quiz in two weeks.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Next Tuesday, students will be headed to Seacoast Family Fun Park to investigate this question:
Does linking multiple riders together change the speed the snow tubes go down the hill?
Students need will be writing an analysis of their finding as an assessment for two of our science standards: Scientific Investigation and Force and Motion
Today, students will need to plan their investigation. Any students that missed class have been assigned an investigation group and will need to meet with them before the trip to review the plan and complete their planning document.
Materials from class can be found here: Snow Tube Investigation Planning Day
ASSIGNMENTS:
On Saturday the 2019 Iditarod race began in Alaska. Today students will be checking in on how the race is going and learning about how the science of force and motion relate to dog sledding. Links from class can be found here:
