Lesson 1 - Monday, Mar 2
Today in science: Students received their graded KWoW #1 & #2 today, as well as some important tips on how to complete their future KWows. During this lesson, students got a chance to see KWoWs completed by both Dr. M and Mrs. Lill to serve as models for future student work.
Homework: There is no science homework tonight.
Lesson 2 - Tuesday, Mar 3
Today in science: Students received their graded 12-point set of practice problems completed and turned in during last Friday’s science class. To help students prepare for Friday’s measuring volume (with graduated cylinders) quiz, students were asked to do a series of practice problems requiring them to figure out how much each ‘graduation’ was worth when given a particular measurement scale. As they improved, students were then asked to practice reading some graduated cylinders with liquid levels shown on them.
Homework: Students can begin preparing for Friday’s quiz by making use of their practice materials.
Lesson 3 - Wed, Mar 4 (C, D) & Thu, Mar 5 (E)
Today in science: We completed the food molecule testing portion of INV#5 today! For C & D periods, this meant completing both the Benedict’s and Ethanol Emulsion tests while for E period this meant completing only the Benedict’s test (to which we added some experimental test tubes full of table sugar).
Homework: Students can continue preparing for Friday’s quiz by making use of their practice materials, which include their 12-point practice quiz and their digital graduated cylinder worksheets.
Lesson 4 - Friday, Mar 6
Today in science: After finishing writing the “Results,” “Conclusions,” and “Wondering” sections for INV#5 (Food Molecule Testing), students completed the 10-question Measuring Volume (Graduated Cylinders) quiz on Exam.net. Although C & D period did not have enough time to do so, E period began preparing their notebooks for next week’s INV#6 – Chew On It!
Homework: As per the TASIS MS school homework policy, there is no weekend science homework (due on Monday).
