SCIENCE 7:
TEST ON FRIDAY -
Science 7: Kinetic Energy & Potential Energy on Roller Coasters. Science 8: Sickle Cell Anemia & Bird Simulator on the Theory of Evolution. Bird Simulator Link: sepuplhs.org/high/sgi/teachers/evolution_act11_sim.html
SCIENCE 7: Finding Kinetic Energy Lab.
SCIENCE 8: Natural Selection in Salamanders and Gene Mutation in Fruit Flies and Sickle Cell Anemia. wnmu.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/tdc02.sci.life.gen.mutationstory/a-mutation-story/#.WcmExbKGPcs https://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/novat10_vid_fruitfly/ Discussion Questions:
GRADE 7 & 8 SCIENCE: YOUTH IN THE OUTDOORS LINK BELOW:
SENEY WILDLIFE REFUGE: www.fws.gov/refuge/seney/yo.html SCIENCE 7: Finish PE LAB. PE is determined by Mass, Gravity and Height. SCIENCE 8: 1st & 2nd Hour: viewed and discussed deer adaptation and natural selection in an urban environment. 7th hour: Took the Mendel Experiment test. SCIENCE 7 & 8: Hiking opportunity available for students and families on September 30. The form is located below to be printed. ENJOY! SCIENCE 7: Students assessed over Friction & Gravity.....2 types of Forces. SCIENCE 8: Students assessed over Mendel and Genetics today.
Science 7:
Gravity and it's relationship to mass and Kinetic Energy. Science 8: Continue to fill out Frayer Model Vocabulary sheets for Genetic terms. SCIENCE 7:
Friction and Motion simulator. The net force of an object can be found out by subtracting the applied force from the frictional force. SCIENCE 8: Students are learning how to discuss important terms beyond just their definition. Students will be working on a non-linguistic representation, samples and their own reflection for the terms listed below. WEEKS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT SCIENCE VOCABULARY:
SCIENCE 7: Students are able to solve for Force, mass and acceleration from the worksheet below. SCIENCE 8: Students able to apply the following terms to Punnett Squares based on the video from September 12 post.
SCIENCE 7:
Worked on motion in relation to Speed and Time. The power point below will be reviewed on Wednesday 9/13. Discovered "cheat codes" for Force and Speed equations. SCIENCE 8: Finalized the desert pocket mouse assimilation based on gene mutation and natural selection. The video and notes below will be introduced on 9/13, |
