6th Grade Science Class

In science class yesterday, we played an OAA Prep review game in math to prepare the students for the state test that they will be taking at the end of April and beginning of May. We were using Math Show What You Know questions for OAA Prep. In Tuesday's class, the students continued to work out of the Diversity Life Kit. The classes took a walk down to the elementary school to get pond samples to look at under the microscope for investigation #3 microscopic life. I decided to take the classes today because of the nicer weather. On Wednesday, the students are continuing to prepare for OAA test by completing activities from myskillstutor.com. On Thursday and Friday, I am hoping to complete investigation #1 what is life as we continue to discuss the characteristics of living organisms and looking at substances to determine if they are living or nonliving. There is no homework for this week.
