Physical Science Unit 4 Day 4

Language Objective: same as yesterday!


Questions:

• What have you learned from this unit about the behavior of gases?
• How does what we've been learning in this unit connect to other units in this class?

Physical Science Unit 4 Day 3

Language Objective: Students will learn about gas laws  by building a hot air 

balloon and will interpret  and evaluate data in

 writing using 

technical vocabulary: volume, temperature, pressure, molecules.


Questions:

1. How do gas molecules behave when heated? 
2. How do you think gas molecules behave when you keep the temperature the same but increase the pressure? 

Biology Unit 4 Day 2

Language Objective: Students will learn about ecosystems by creating a word cloud and will describe the interdependence that occurs using technical vocabulary: abiotic factors, biotic factors, limiting factors.


Question:

• Define the following: abiotic factor, biotic factor, limiting factor. 

We will use the following websites in class:

1. Link for your word cloud
2. Link for researching your ecosystem.

Physical Science Unit 4 Day 2

Language Objective: Students will learn about gas laws using a computer simulation and will interpret data and make generalizations in writing using technical vocabulary: volume, temperature, pressure, molecules.


Directions:

• Complete page one of the simulation packet from Ms Friedrich. You do not need a do now sheet for today.
• Go to the following website for your packet:Gas Properties Simulation

Biology Unit 4 CST Day

Language Objective: Students will take the CST

Questions:

1. What resources do you think populations need to succeed?
2. How do you think populations achieve genetic diversity?

Physical Science Unit 4 CST day

Language Objective: Students will take the unit CST.

Questions:

1. How do you think molecules in a gas move? Solid?
2. What's the difference between a liquid and a gas?

Biology Unit 4 Day 1

Language Objective: Students will learn about the contents of unit 4 and 

will explain the diagnostic with notes and will write a summary using the 3-

2-1 template.


Questions:

1. How are new species created?
2. Why do you think populations of plants/animals are constantly changing? 

Physical Science Unit 4 Day 1

Language Objective: Students will learn about the contents of unit 4 and will explain the diagnostic with notes and will write a summary using the 3-2-1 template.

Questions:

1. What do you think happens when atoms and molecules are heated? Cooled?
2. What makes hot air balloons fly?

Biology Unit 3 Day 6 TST day

Language Objective: Students will learn about natural selection by creating a collage and will speculate in writing about successful populations using Claim-Evidence-Reasoning and technical vocabulary: variation, heredity, differentiated survival and reproduction. 

1. Is it fair the all animals are not created equal?
2. What do you think are the best traits to have to be successful in nature?

Biology Unit 3 Day 5

Language Objective: Students will learn about natural selection by doing a simulation and will analyze and interpret their results in writing using technical vocabulary: variation, hereditary, differentiated survival.

Question:

1. Read the packet from Ms Friedrich (background).
2. Write 3 bullet points summarizing the background.

Physical Science Unit 3 Lab Day 2

Language Objective:Students will learn about the Law of Conservation of 

Mass by designing a lab to prove it and then interpret and analyze the data 

in writing using technical vocabulary: reactants, products, chemical 

reaction.

Questions:

1. Why doesn't the mass change during a chemical reaction?
2. What has been the most challenging part of this lab and data collection?

Biology Unit 3 Day 3

Language Objective: Students will learn about biodiversity and will interpret and analyze maps and data using technical vocabulary: variation, natural selection.

Questions:

1. When do you think a mutation considered an adaptation?
2. Can a trait be an adaptation in one ecosystem but a disadvantage in another? Give an example.

Physical Science Unit 3 Day 3

Language Objective: Students will learn about the Law of Conservation of Mass by designing a lab to prove it and then interpret and analyze the data in writing using technical vocabulary: reactants, products, chemical reaction.

Questions:

1. Research: What is a "closed system" in science?
2. Research: What is the chemical formula for baking soda? Vinegar? 

Biology Unit 3 CST day

Language Objective: Students will take the unit 3 cst.

Questions:

1. What do you think makes the "perfect" animal?
2. How do you think species and populations benefit from variation in survival and reproduction?

Physical Science Unit 3 CST day

Language Objective: Students will take the unit 3 CST

Questions:

1. What happens to atoms and molecules during a chemical reaction? Do you think the mass changes?
2. Research: List 5 types of chemical reactions.
