Lesson 1 - Monday, Apr 13
Today in science: After discussing the accomplishments of NASA’s recent Artemis II mission, students were given time to begin revising for Friday’s Human Digestive System quiz. This involved working in pairs and using past work (e.g., the class Review Table, our science notebooks, etc.) to complete a copy of the Human Digestive System quiz completed by most students before the Spring vacation.
Homework: Students should be spending their science homework time prepared for Friday’s Human Digestive System quiz.
Lesson 2 - Tuesday, Apr 14
Today in science: Students continued revising for Friday’s Human Digestive System quiz. This meant…
1. Learning about new study resources housed in the Google Science Classroom (e.g., videos, notes, a link to 12 Review Questions).
2. Completing two different practice quizzes on Exam.net, including a longer one on the Human Digestive System (Exam key: 5iDV1K) and a shorter one on Food Molecules & Food Molecule Testing (Exam key: GwB8kT). Students were invited to complete these practice tests a) in pairs with open notes, b) in pairs without notes, c) individually with open notes, and d) individually without notes.
3. For any students completing both of the revision options with time still left in the lesson, Dr. M suggested a third study strategy that makes use of a previously-used A3 paper showing a human body silhouette with the organs of the digestive system inside it.
Homework: Students should be spending their science homework time prepared for Friday’s Human Digestive System quiz.
