SCHOOL HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2016 The make up day is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving!
Today's Quote:
Recap:
In class on Tuesday, I went over how students should sign into Quizlet to finish their weekly vocabulary lesson and then how they will sign in to take the test online. I warned many students, especially 6th graders that they should not wait until the last minute to sign in. They have had over a week to practice this and set up their accounts and about 40% still, have not logged in. I reminded them that this is one of the things they were to bring to our partnership.
Students completed a 3x5 card for me with their personality type and Quizlet username on it, so I would know who earned what score.
The remainder of the period was spent modeling for students how they would engage in editing each other's paragraph for homework. There are still students who have not written their paragraph about how the data we collected about their personalities, learning styles and intelligence types can help them be a better student. They have now had 3 weeks to hone their thoughts into a well-written paragraph with evidence and proper citation (Def 5). I reminded all classes that we are using the standard rubric for writing used by the language arts department and that the highest grade they can earn on ANY written assignment in my class is a 60% if it does not have proper citation. I will model this for them today.

Brain Bender:
Mitch watched in horror as the convertible sports car seemed to lose control. It crashed through the guard rail, causing the driver to be thrown out of the car and down a 50-meter cliff. Mitch scrambled down the incline to the body. The bloodied driver was pronounced dead. About 10 meters away the car lay on it's side. Mitch examined the car and immediately noticed several things; the buckle from the driver's seat belt was missing, the driver's seat was covered in fresh blood, and one of the four new tires was punctured by a large nail. Mitch was certain the driver had not been killed in the car accident but was already dead- possibly the victim of foul play. Why?
Agenda:
(This should be written in your planner every day)
Graphing Basics PowerPoint- student lead discussion- continue on from Scatter plot
1. Turn in the paragraph you edited (make sure YOUR NAME is on it where you did the editing.).
2. Finish graphing basic and record data set of personality types to create your graph at home this weekend. Google Sheets Due to the storm, do not worry about trying to do the graph at this time!
How to Use Google Spreadsheet to Make a Graph
3. Discussion of citation and evidence.
Homework: ALL GRADE LEVELS:
1.Word process the final edit of your paragraph- Due Monday
2. Create your graph of personalities. Use Google tools or Excel.- Due Monday
Article explaining graphing differences between math and science. This MAY be on your upcoming test.
6th Grade Honor's Earth Space Science:
6th Grade Class Information and Syllabus
Unit Essential Question:
What are the basic ideas behind the process of science?
Key Learning Statement:
Science is a process based upon observational and experimental studies using scientific methods to develop or explore scientific theories or laws.
7th Grade Honors Life Science
7th Grade Class Information and Syllabus
Unit Essential Question: What methods do scientists use to answer questions and solve problems in the natural world?
Key Learning Statement: Scientific inquiry involves forming a testable hypothesis and developing a valid investigation using scientific skills and tools to determine if the hypothesis is supported or not supported. Data from scientific investigations helps scientists explain natural events through the use of scientific theories and scientific laws.
8th Grade Honors Physical Science
Unit Essential Question: What is required to carry out a valid scientific investigation?
Key Learning Statement: A valid scientific investigation uses prior knowledge, observations, and empirical evidence to test a hypothesis and draw conclusions that must be validated through repetition and replication.
