6th Grade Science Class

In class on Tuesday, we used questions from a practice math OAA test from the ODE website to play a review game to help the students prepare for testing this week. On Wednesday and Thursday mornings, the students will be taking the Reading and Math OAA test. In the afternoon, the students will continue investigation #3 Microscopic Life out of the Diversity Of Life Science Kit. On Friday, the class will finish investigation #3 Microscopic Life and complete an in class assignment for a grade. The students will also turn in their investigation #3 Microscopic Life packet for an observation and effort grade.

Looking at Paramecium and Euglena (Unicellular Organisms)

In class on Monday, we will continue practicing math for the OAA test looking at math terms and definitions. On Tuesday, we continued investigation #3 Microscopic Life and have a homework assignment out of the Focus On State Standards: Cells Structure and Function Packet p. 17 and 18. On Wednesday, the class will go down to the computer lab and work on myskillstutor. The students will have a homework assignment on Focus On State Standards: Cells Structure and Function Packet p. 19 and 20 which will be due on Thursday. On Thursday, we will go over the homework and continue investigation #3 Microscopic Life. There is no school on Friday.

In class on Monday, we will continue practicing math for the OAA test looking at math terms and definitions. On Tuesday, we finished investigation #2 Introduction to Microscopes from the Diversity Of Life Kit and will take that test on Thursday. We will also start investigation #3 Microscopic Life. On Wednesday the students took a common assessment test in science for the third nine weeks covering concepts in 6th grade Science from all year. It was designed and given by the school district. On Thursday, the students will have homework out of the Focus On State Standards: Cells Structure and Function Packet pages 13, 14, and 15. Students need to have the assignment completed, and we will go over the answers to the homework on Friday. On Friday, the students will continue investigation #3 Microscopic Life out of the Diversity of Life Kit.

In class on Monday, the students played math basketball using practice OAA questions from 6th Grade Math Show What You Know Flash Cards. On Tuesday, the students return back to Science continuing in the Diversity Of Life Kit Investigation #2 Introduction To The Microscope. The students used rulers to figure the length of the field of view in each objective lens. The students were given mesh and had to figure out the diameter of each square in the mesh. They were also given several pieces of ribbon to look through using the microscopes and defining focal plane. On Wednesday, the students will go to the computer lab and work on myskillstutor.com completing activities in math and science. On Thursday and Friday, we will continue back in science hopefully completing Diversity Of Life Kit Investigation #2 Introduction To The Microscope Unit. There will be no homework this week. Once we get to Investigation # 3 on Microscopic Life, there will be homework on cells and cell organelles.
