Whew, ACT testing is finally over! My apologies to all my students; I really appreciate your patience in going beyond the normal schedule. An especially big thank you to the students who actually DID their work that I assigned. Your effort did not go unappreciated.
Here's what's in store for this week: 1. IS periods 1&2: we're studying the Periodic Table of Elements and using it to identify and classify all the various elements. We'll identify all the metals, metalloids and non-metals. then we'll distinguish between all the various classes, including alkalis, alkali-based earth substances, noble gases, etc. We'll be coloring our Periodic Tables on Tuesday, using that to answer questions on Wednesday and Thursday, and then a review, quiz and video omniscience's Friday. 2. Biology period 4: We're working on Unit 8, which deals with classification. Tuesday, we'll review notes and some exercises. On Wednesday & Thursday, we'll work with interpreting a dichotomous key. Friday, a quick Quizizz exercise and a video. If we get through this week, then we'll be ready for Spring Break all next week! Hang in there. UPDATE: just found out that Spring Fest will be during 3rd and 4th periods on Friday, so scratch the whole Quizizz thing for Friday. I am trying a wonderful new site called "Quizziz" to help withour assessment of skills throughout the week. Basically, it works like "Kahoot", but without the need for everyone to be on the screen at the same time. You answer questions like on a regular quiz/test. At the same time, you will be competing against others in your room. All scores are recorded in the system.
Here's how this will work for us. If you take the quiz on Quizziz, you will not be required to take the written quiz on Friday. In other words, your Quizziz results can stand as your quiz grade, if it is acceptable. This will eliminate the need to make numerous paper copies (which will waste paper and have to be graded by hand) and using Google Forms (which I'm not a big fan of). Try it tomorrow and see what happens. Class Biology Date 3/15/17 Subject/Period Chemistry/ Atomic Structure Objective(s) (Learning Target{s}) We will relate how favorable mutations help in selection. Agenda
Class Biology
Date 3/14/17 Subject/Period Unit 7 Objective(s) (Learning Target{s}) We will determine adaptations that will allow certain animals to be able to survive. Agenda
Class IS 1/2
Date 3/14/17 Subject/Period Chemistry Objective(s) (Learning Target{s}) We will determine the atomic structure of certain elements. Agenda 1.Bellringer 2.Atomic Structure Practice: students will complete the chart given certain information about each element. They will determine the number of neutrons, protons, electrons, atomic number, mass number, charge, and in some cases, the element itself. 3.Students will also create a Lewis model of each atom to determine the number of valence electrons in each. 4.Exit Slip |
