April 27th We will be heading to GHS for the Real World simulation in the morning.
Afternoon classes will enjoy additional activities.


Day 1 Tuesday/ Wednesday 4-3, 4-4      Skyward assignment on experimentation terminology.
 Lesson on scientific method using ripening tomatoes.  Hypothesis - Tomatoes placed in a paper
bag will produce a gas that helps them ripen quicker.  In groups students will write our experimental
designs that best test the hypothesis. We will share our designs with the class and decide what
experimental design best tests the hypothesis.  Second students will be given a packet of multiple
choice questions that they must individually read and answer. Students will be given 20 minutes in
class to complete and return to me before they leave class.  Homework is to complete the training
and practice test on the SAGE web site. http://origin.ut.portal.airast.org/training-tests.stml  There are
two to be completed.  The first one is worth 9 points and the second is worth 15.  When completed
please screenshot the results to my email. Students can complete the practice tests as many times
as they wish to get the best grade possible.
Day 2 Thursday/ Friday 4-5, 4-6      Start with a skyward assignment.  Complete Bottling Honey
and Playground soil NAEP Practice material.  We will discuss the questions and the correct answers
together. Students will then complete California smarter balanced practice test.   The test is found on
my web page and at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp .  We will complete together as
much as we can in class.  What we do not finish is for the students to complete on their own time.  
If time allows I will have paper copies of extra practice questions to work on in class.
Monday All classes 4-9 - Start with skyward assignment.  We will go over the procedures for the
ISA testing tomorrow.  We will complete the WCAP practice test online.
Tuesday 4-10 - ISA testing

Unit - Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition

Essential Questions:
How does interaction between the Earth's lithosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere
lead to the wide range of beautiful and complex landscapes we see today?
How do climate and types of materials influence the landscapes we see in different regions on Earth?
How does classification help us understand the great variety and complexity of Earth's materials?

Day 1 Wednesday/ Thursday 4-11, 4-12   Students start with a skyward assignment on our past
experiments on water.  We will look at the interaction between the atmosphere and the lithosphere.
We will think about climate and its influence on the landscapes in our area.  Students will be asked to
create a proveable hypothesis, design experiment, and then complete the experiment showing the
interactions between wind and land.  Students will have the entire class to complete the process.
They will need to create a graph on a spreadsheet and write a conclusion based on the collected data.  
Day 2  Friday/ Monday 4-13, 4-16 - Complete any work that was not finished on our wind/ land  lab.
Students will read and answer questions in a weathering, erosion, and rock cycle interactive.  If
students have other more interesting lab activities they wish to try we may deviate from our interactivity
and complete the student led lab work.
Day 1 Tuesday/ Wednesday 4-17, 4-18 TBA
Day 2 Thursday/ Friday 4-19, 4-20 TBA
Day 1 Monday/ Tuesday 4-24, 4-24 TBA
Day 2 Wednesday/ Thursday 4-25, 4-26 TBA

4-27 - Morning at GHS Real World Simulation
