Monday - Friday All classes everyday!!
All material will be worked on together in class. Students who are absent can complete the work and email me a screenshot of the final page.
Monday -Start with a short 4 question Physical science practice test from Varsity tutors, located on my Earth Science web page at the bottom of the first page. Second we will work together on practice tests; https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/science_2009/ict_tasks.asp Bottling Honey and http://wa.portal.airast.org/training-tests/ Washington practice test. Homework is to write a procedure to the hypothesis “The smaller the sediment size the slower the water will pass through the material.” Make sure to use amounts and unit labels as well as clearly identify the controls and the independent manipulated variable. Please be very detailed. This will be due on Thursday, no late assignments will be accepted.
Wednesday - New York paper practice test 85 questions- We will complete on paper in class. The web page is for absent students. http://www.nysedregents.org/grade8/science/616/ils62016-test.pdf. Absent students will need to review the material and write the answers to the questions and turned in within 24 hours of returning to school.
Thursday- Finish New York test and complete Playground Soil. https://www.nationsreportcard.gov/science_2009/ict_tasks.asp I will collect homework from Monday.
We will discuss the good and not so good procedures that were written for our hypothesis. No late work on this assignment will be accepted. (Only fair since we will be going over answers in class.)If you are absent please note that you have 3 days to complete the assignment that should take about 15 minutes, please turn in the assignment no later than 24 hours after you return to school.
Friday - Sample test question from NGSS on paper completed in groups in class. Finish with Kahoot quiz.
Work this week is to prepare/review for the Illinois Science Assessment. I am also working in the topic of soil as much as I can to go along with our current NGSS material. The 2016 ISA test was based on 57% physical science which was taught in the 6th grade. Therefore I felt it necessary to review with the students not only computer procedures of the test but physical science content as well.
The ISA testing date is April 24th and 25th. All students are required to take the test.
