7th Grade Life Science

"Explain that cells take in nutrients in order to grow and divide and to make needed materials."

We finished the Amoeba Sisters video about cellular respiration and fermentation, then we looked at the potential test questions.

Reminder: TEST FRIDAY - first hour study guide & second hour study guide

If you did NOT turn in test questions, please complete them here.

Homework: Complete this form to submit your lab report. The reports I got back today were not nearly what I was hoping for, so we are going to submit them online instead. DUE MONDAY, 12/5.

Absent? Research how yeast makes bread rise and complete the homework form with the information you learned (for observations, write facts you learned.

6th Grade Earth Science

"Recognize that lithospheric plates constantly move and cause major geological events on the earth's surface."

We continued our powerpoint on the types of plate movements and then continued working as a class to make earthquake-proof houses. The goal is to complete the project by Friday, 12/2.

Homework: Do research on what makes a home earthquake-proof. Bring ideas to class for the project.

Absent? Communicate with other classmates about how you can assist with the project, such as doing research on earthquake-proof houses or bringing materials for tomorrow.

EXTRA CREDIT: Log in to Office 365 for the school. Go to Newsfeed. Click on the number under "I'm following" to see who you are following (it's probably 0). Click on the word "follow" in the phrase "follow multiple people". Search for Emily Martin. My name should appear as a supply teacher (don't worry, I'm not a supply teacher - I'm here until May!). Click on my name to follow me. Once you do and that's saved, click on the word Newsfeed on the left navigation bar. You will see instructions for the extra credit that I've posted!
