Today's Quote:



The sage 

wisely takes on -

the behaviour of water...A seemingly humble manner of;¤ laying low,¤ flexible in natureAnd¤ flowing with whatever the moment brings forth,steadily along a path of least resistance.Water nourishes All living creatureswithout striving or trying.This element is Most like Tao.





Recap:


6th graders finally got to go outside and do the data collection part of their experiment on solar radiation and will continue to the implementation phase today. I want to remind ALL 6th graders that you were assigned IXL as NIGHTLY homework. It is MANDATORY if you received a D or an F on your progress report.

7th graders finished up the blood serum tests on their bacterial samples and will finish up their labs today in preparation of our test over the cell and cell membrane. 8th graders continued to have their minds blown over quantum theory. They met the entire cast of the Atomic Theory. During the process they learned about Democritus and his model of the atom which was adopted by John Dalton and turned into  his model. They also met Antoine Lavoisier and learned how he came up with the Law of Conservation of Mass which states Matter cannot be created or destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another. We then moved on to JJ Thompson, Earnest Rutherford, Neils Bohr


Brain Bender:

Two identical tanks are being drained at the same time. One of the tanks has one- two-centimeter circular drain outlet and the other has two- one-centimeter circular drain outlets. Will one of the tanks empty faster than the other? Explain your logic?






Agenda:

(This should be written in your planner every day)


7th grade-  Lab  Pathogens, Antibodies, and Vaccines. Finish questions and turn in







6th grade-  Solar Input, a Limit To Growth Part 2














































8th grade-   The Periodic Table advanced and last part of 


Ever wonder what all those elements are used for?




6th Grade Honor's Earth Space Science:

6th Grade Class Information and Syllabus

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. 

Homework: IXL nightly
