Power schools has been updated with Bill Nye simple machine homework. Additionally, the classwork score for week six stations has been added. This week I will be adding a classwork grade for week 5. Many students struggled to complete an accurate graph for their hotwheel speed lab. Setting up a graph-x axis intervals, y axis intervals, and plotting coordinate pairs based on real data is an important part of hands on science.
This upcoming week our unit of study will focus on electricity moving through electrical circuits-series/parallel. Monday-simple machine assessment, 7th grade. Tuesday-direct teacher instruction on electrical circuits-series/parallel. Wednesday/Thursday students will rotate through stations on electrical circuits and cumulative review of motion, Newton’s laws, forces. Friday students will begin working on their end of quarter physic project. In class time for the project will be offered Friday 9/1-Wednesday 9/6. Students can work in partner pairs with parent permission. This week's homework is an outstanding electricity/electrical circuit video less than 10mins long. Watch the video, pause after each minute and create a personal study guide. I would suggest keywords, examples and illustrations all be included to support your understanding of this week’s unit. https://safeshare.tv/my/safeviews/ss59a158809cb04/play ***if link is not working for you.....type into google hila science video electricity you tube

Power schools has been updated with Force brainpop/Newton's laws homework and force test taken Friday. Later this week the score for week six stations will be added.
This upcoming week our unit of study will focus on how force is used by machines. Monday we will have direct instruction-notes of six simple machines. Tuesday we will do whole group activities related to the six simple machines. Wednesday/Thursday students will rotate through stations on the six simple machine, one review/enrichment station on 8 types of forces and a momentum lab. Friday students will have a test on what has been learned through out the week. This week's homework is a Bill Nye video on simple machines. See link below. https://safeshare.tv/x/ss59979082b833b The video will be an excellent way to review/re mediate/study. Please set aside 30-40 minutes of time when you can focus on the video details-examples and explanations. All classes will be doing stations on Wednesday/Thursday. The stations will focus on content already covered, review/reinforcement. The new content focus for this week will be Newton's laws of motion and forces. Monday/Tuesday 7/1 students will be doing a webquest on Newton's laws of motion. Friday there will be an assessment Forces.
This week 7/1 students need to watch, STUDY, and then complete-submit the classic quiz for the Newton's laws of motion brainpop and Forces brainpop. When prompted send your classic quiz results to [email protected] MANY 7/1 students are waiting until the end of the week to do their science homework. It looses its effectiveness when done at the last minute. I post Sunday and collect Friday so everyone can complete the work when they have quality time/focused time. Test and quiz score will improve if homework is used as out of school instruction. While having my Saturday morning coffee- cup moving relative to my stationary deck and table-reference points, I GREATLY enjoyed reading ALL the quality assignments done and turned in by most 7/1 students!:)-thank you for your dedication, perseverance, and personal standards of excellence. We will continue to work on motion details in the coming weeks.
This week most 7/1 science classes will have students leaders. I am excited to see each classroom community exhibiting and recognizing one another for PRIDE excellence! To those selected by their peers to be the first classroom leaders-congratulations. This week's homework will review and reinforce the motion graph notes on Monday. The motion graph collaboration on Tuesday. The 8 motion stations on Wednesday/Thursday and the motion unit test on Friday. Science homework: Watch the following video on graphing motion. https://safeshare.tv/x/cQO_JklUsgs Create the motion graph explained in the video on a sheet of notebook paper. Use the same colors shown. Next to each line segment write down what type of motion is taking place. homework suggestions: ***use graph paper ***use a ruler for straight lines ***use the entire space for a neat-easy to read study tool |
