Science 8---Block 3/4

Block 3/4 of Science 8 went to the computer lab and started to work on the conclusion of the Gummy Lab.   This should be done in ABCDE paragraph format.  A: State whether you accept or reject your hypothesis.   B: Background, tell me the overview of your procedure.       C: citation, refer back to graphs or tables to talk about results.        D: Discussion: Why do you think the lab turned out the way it did?  Try to explain your results.     E: Extension: Comment on the reliability of your results.   What would you change if you did the lab again?     The whole lab is due on MONDAY....with the data page, graph and conclusion.   

Science 8

Today we went to the computer lab to write up our ABCDE paragraphs for the Gummy Lab report.  When you are done, practice scientific method by doing the online escape room found HERE.  Also check back to last Friday's blog entry (Sept. 13th)  for more practice problems.

Biology 11

Today we completed notes on how cells obtain and use energy.   Use the link at the top of the blog for online text B to read up on how cells get and Use energy.    Next we prepped some climate rally booths to teach kids about climate change and climate change mitigation.   Useful websites below:

Science 8:  Block 7/8

Today we worked on the results of our gummy bear lab.  You need to complete the two graphs for homework if you have not done so yet:  1) Change in masses of gummy bears  2) Change in length of gummy bears.

CLIMATE ACTION IDEAS 

Science 8

Today we continued to add to our power point notes on Scientific Method.  Next we look at the results of our gummy bear add and added some qualitative observations to our results.  We will make a graph of mass and length change next class.  Make sure you have completed the scientific method practice questions.  There will be a quiz on Scientific Method next week.  Online practice of Scientific Method Found HERE.  Questions #2-11 are for YOU!!  Practice #2.   Practice #3.
