Today we reviewed for the Unit 2 Test. The review is on pages 153-156 in the textbook. I sent home a review guide that can be signed for 5 bonus points. Students also need to study the notes taken in class. Unit 2 Test tomorrow.
Today we took a quiz over Unit 2 Lesson 2: Moon Phases. We also completed Lesson 3: Tides in the textbook (pages 141-147). Tomorrow we will review for the Unit 2 test on Friday.
Today we completed a lab using oreos. Students were placed in groups and used the cookies to demonstrate their knowledge of the moon's phases. They completed the lab in class and turned it in. Tomorrow there is a quiz on Unit 2 Lesson 2: Moon Phases and Eclipses.
Today we discussed moon phases and eclipses. We read pages 131-137 in the book, and took notes. We also completed a moon phase worksheet. Lastly, I assigned the moon phase project, which is due on October 15. Students are to observe the moon daily, note the time and date and draw the moon phase. Unit 2 Test on Friday. Remember you can use the Online Textbook link at the top of my page.
Today we continued and finished Unit 2, Lesson 1. Tomorrow we will take a quiz over Unit 2, Lesson 1. We read pages 120-121 in the book and worked an online simulation (highered.mheducation.com/olcweb/cgi/pluginpop.cgi?it=swf::800::600::/sites/dl/free/007299181x/78778/Seasons_Nav.swf::Seasons). Students need to complete the questions below for homework if they did not complete them during the time given in class:
Today we set up our Science Unit 2 Notebook. So far we have the Contents page, the warm up page, vocab, and Lesson 1 notes. We also read pages 116-119 in the book. We took notes, which are in my classroom in the Example Notebook for those who missed to copy. We also watched the "Seasons" Brainpop. Unit 2 Test will be on September 21, the Friday before Fall break.
Today we took the Unit 2 Pre Test and continued Unit 2 Vocabulary. There is no homework. Tomorrow we will begin Unit 2.
Successful people in our society set clear goals and measure their progress towards those goals. These people also spend serious time reflecting on their work, and how their actions contributed to progress or got in the way of reaching goals. Each time we take an assessment each student will have the opportunity to reflect on his/her work and share with my why he/she earned the score on the assessment. Today we completed the assessment reflection from Friday's Unit 1 Astronomy Assessment in class.
