Today's Quote:
"We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the Universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of Nature, a unique action of the total Universe."
~Alan Watts~
Recap:
Students in 6th grade were supposed to create a graph based on the previous day's demonstration, however it became evident after the first few minutes that very few of the 6th graders are spending much time studying at home as we had to stop the graphing activity and review graphing again. To review, if I assign homework that is extra work to provide practice on a concept, vocabulary, or idea. If there is no assigned homework, it is EXPECTED that students will finish the homework from other classes and then turn their attention to science. As they think back over the lessons we have learned they should open their notes or use their textbook to STUDY the concepts and things they are weak in. In this way, technically, students have homework EVERY NIGHT.
7th Grade- It was a smelly day in science as the students completed their onion skin lab. Students cut a small piece of onion and then made a wet mount slide using an iodine stain. They then tried to identify the organelles that were visible.
Brain bender:
Two cars made their way along the winding country road and came to an abrupt stop at the park's gate. Seven men got out of the two cars and were walking along a footpath when it began to rain. Six of the men began to walk faster to get out of the rain but the seventh man couldn't be bothered. Ironically, it was the seventh man who remained dry as the other six got soaked. Since all seven men arrived at their destination together, how was this possible?
Agenda:
(This should be written in your planner every day)

Weather and Atmosphere:
Unit Essential Question: How do the relationships among the five spheres affect life on Earth
How do the relationships among the five spheres affect life on Earth?
Key Learning Statement: The atmosphere is layered and within these layers are weather patterns that affect life and are caused by interactions among spheres. Water is constantly being recycled through the spheres. Heat transfer affects the development of weather.
