TCAP WEEK!!!! Make sure your child is going to bed early and eating a well-balanced breakfast.We will be on an abbreviated schedule all week due to testing. When we have science, we will be completing a lab called “Metric Olympics.” When we finish, we will begin chapter 17 on the Electromagnectic Spectrum and interactions of light.
Monday: STudents will demonstrate eclipses, tide, seasons, moon phases, rotation, revolution, and orbit. When done we will watch Brainpops on refraction, light, rainbow, heat, and forms of energy.HW: get ThinkLink results signed by Wednesday. Study for test tomorrow. Bring in extra credit items! Tuesday: STudents will take a test over positions of the sun, earth, and moon, and light interactions. When done, we will split up into pairs and be assigned an s.p.i. to present.HW: Get thinklink results signed by tomorrow. Bring in extra credit. Wednesday: Students will work on their presentations of their assigned s.p.i. We will also watch Brainpop videos on vision problems, eyes, telescopes, and cameras. HW: Bring in extra credit. Thursday: Students will present their s.p.i. Friday: Students will complete a lab on convex and concave mirrors/lenses in the book
Monday: Students will finish their drawing of the seasons. When done we will discuss the different tides and the force responsible. We will also review the position of the sun, Earth, and moon at each eclipse, moon phase, rotation, revolution, orbit, and season.Tuesday: Students will have a quiz over the position of the Earth, sun, and moon. When done we will discuss how mirrors and lenses work by using pages 520-527. Students will get to experiment with concave and convex lenses and mirrors.Wednesday: We will review mirrors and lenses and discuss how our eye works on pages 527-529. we will complete the lab on page 536.Thursday: Students will have a test over heat, light, lenses, mirrors, and the position of the sun, earth, and moon. After the test, we will begin our s.p.i. review. Each student will get an s.p.i. covered this year to review and reteach to the class. Students should be as creative as possible in their presentation. They can do a demonstration, a skit, a song/rap/poem, write a story, make a comic, illustrate the concept, etc. This will count as a lab grade. The presentations will begin tomorrow.Friday: S.p.i. review presentations!!!

We will observe some demonstrations in the lab. 6.14.1, 6.5.3Wednesday: Bellringer: Students will complete some practice questions on organism interaction. We will review how heat is transferred and discuss the interactions of light. Students will demonstrate reflection with a mirror and flashlight, refraction with a prism and flashlight, and absorption with a flashlight.Thursday: Bellringer: Students will complete a practice COACH packet on Adaptations, pgs. 66-71. We will review the interactions of light and take a quiz over heat and light interactions.
