Time to show what you know! Sorry, can't use your notes for this one. Complete every step.

Love this one! Start off with watching the videos to get an idea of what this is all about. Then, open the Earth Day Virtual Field Trip file and enter slideshow mode. Click on the tickets first then proceed to each numbered step. Full credit for complete sentences and be sure to check your spelling. 


The final step is the Photo Album. For the images, I would like for you to either select images from the web that demonstrate or support this year's theme for Earth Day, or.... create your own images that support the theme. *Hint, how you interpret the theme.

Time for your last assignment for this unit, Energy License Plate. In class (or if you are at home choose one), you will select from my jar of "plates". Next, taking inspiration from the message and what you have learned about the topic, design a license plate that captures the message. You may design it on paper or digitally.

Breakdown of what I am looking for, 25 points each:
Colorful
Precision, quality work
Details
Connection to plate topic

And now for round 2....do your best!

OK, here we go...time to show what you know! 😉

There are loads of different words for what a campaign is, some people say activist, change maker, protester, community leader, community organizer etc. I think of a campaigner as anyone who sees something that they want to change in the world and goes about trying to do that. 

In this unit we have learn all about energy; where it comes from, different types, and renewable sources. For your final project, it's time to bring it all together in a campaign for energy. 

Your task 

1. Select a form of energy that is inspiring and fascinating to you. You will be convincing us that your energy source is the ideal energy source so I encourage you to find something you are passionate about. 
2. Research and plan your topic and check that all of your facts are correct. What information will you represent and how will you present? Must include local, national, and global impact your energy source has. 
3. Create a slogan (a catchphrase or series of words) that represent your energy source
4. A short presentation on your source. Consider a speech or commercial. Convince and inform your audience!
5. A poster/campaign device that captures your message. Samples attached. 
It is OK to work alongside of others to share resources, skills, and ideas. Scholars may get help from home too with practicing presentations and making campaign items. You will be presenting your own work and are required to complete all steps listed above. Get creative and have fun! Share your passion for this type of energy source! 

***Check the rubric and check in with me often, to ensure you are on the right track and meeting the assignment requirements. ***

**Upload or turn in any documents here. You will receive your grade through the GC rubric. 
PRESENTATIONS BEGIN MARCH 30

Round 2! Let's improve that score and deepen your understanding. Good luck! Highest grade will be kept in Powerschool.

Howdy! As we discussed this week, it is an asynchronous day which means you do some work by 4:00 PM, then call it good. It is the home energy survey I mentioned. You can print it out or transfer your answer to paper/doc. Do the best you can. 

Part 1- do the survey
Part 2- enter your score here in GC (in this posted question)
Done 💡

Today will be a tiny, itty bit tricky in regards to technology. I do know that it is easier to watch the video while not in the meet, so we will be meeting briefly to take attendance and discuss the assignment then end the meet to allow time for you to watch the video.  


**Tip: Read over the questions in the form first. Then watch the video. Finally,  do the form and have the video up alongside in split screen if needed. **

This documentary is about the possibilities of alternative energy sources and what is involved in generating and applying energy. There is a Google form with 10 questions that connect with this video so have it up next to your form to ensure accuracy. It is expected that your answers are in complete sentences and you have checked grammar and spelling. 

🧑🏼‍🏫 Grading scale on this one:
All 10 correct 100 😎
less than 7 is NC 😲
Focus on the accuracy of your answers. Follow through all parts.  👍👍

Happy Monday! Today is the last day before the unit test tomorrow guys and based on your Topic Close, I want to extend one more opportunity when it comes to the Gas Laws. Follow the Edpuzzle link and be sure to login. Complete the lesson, click submit. THEN, go back over all 3 lessons and revisit your science binder, to check your understanding. Spend at least 20-30 minutes + in study mode. 

1. Complete the Edpuzzle- Gas Laws
2. Review lessons 1-3 and your science binder, set a timer, stay focused. 
3. Complete any late work
*During your meet today, I am asking for volunteers to share their brochures with the class.

The time has come, let's do this! Yes, you may use your binder. You will be online the whole time with me, then be excused right after. If you are able, secure a quiet space and headphones. Good Luck! 🍀

This one is a cool one! This assignment is a joint project with Mrs. Miller (computers & tech) and what we have been learning in our class. She will teach you the tech side of things and you get to show all the S,L, & G information you have learned in science. The best part, this assignment counts for 2 grades! You get credit in her class and mine! 


Your task:  Create an engaging and accurate brochure that not only demonstrates your learning but also informs your reader. Make it exciting and something that you would want to pick out of a bunch of brochures, how will yours be unique? Each section is labeled with specific details as to what should be included. Use your textbook (Savaas) as your primary resource. 



Grading is based on (100): 
quality of work, attention to detail, spelling
accuracy and completion of required information
DO NOT JUST COPY & PASTE

This is the end of the unit time and since we are at home learning this week, our usual closure is now unusual. Please complete all the notebook sections, just watch the lab video (you may do at home), and submit by Friday.

Today, we will review any questions you may have on L3 Gas Behaviors and I want to go over the plan for this week including a final project and your upcoming end of unit test. Please be on time, see you soon! 😉

Let's check your vocabulary for this unit. You will not have access to your cards and the lock mode will turn on during the quiz (*Update, it's turned off, try) . Do your best, then go back and study the rest. 😉 MUST GET QUIZ DONE TODAY. 


After our LIVE meets, spend the remaining class time and work on your Gas Poster.

Hello and Happy Monday! Today is a "regular schedule" day and we will be diving a tad deeper into Changing States of Matter from Lesson 2 and resume the remainder of this unit when we return after the holiday break. Your assignment is due by Wednesday and you may work on this during the time for finals too. If you are at home, same info applies.

Again, pay close attention to the due date, we have grades this week.

Hey there everyone! I hope you are enjoying some much deserved rest and relaxation time. For our two async days, I have combined them into one post so you can complete this on your own time. This assignment, both parts, are due by the end of Tuesday at 5 PM. 


Part 1- Thanksgiving States of Matter 
Read the questions in column A
Answer questions in column B
If you answer is correct, as you advance to another question, the grey area to the right will automatically fill in with a color. If you are wrong, no color change.The end results is a complete image which you will submit in this assignment. 
Part 2- Matter Escape Room
Follow the link provided and explore the Matter Escape Room. There is a special message (task) you will receive when you "escape" the room. Upload a picture in this assignment and submit with Part 1. 
Have fun! I will enter the grade for this beginning at 5 PM Tuesday (11/23). 🦃🥧🍗🌽
Continue to work on your science fair project too!

Here we go, let's get started with the main idea and a quick check-in. Then, watch the video on our final quest project.

Complete Lesson 3 and the virtual lab. This will be scored and entered into Powerschool.

Time to check out what you know about the vocabulary in unit 1. You will not have access to your cards and the lock mode will turn on during the quiz.

This is an independent project in which you are assigned an element and will conduct research and create a slide show about the details of your element. This project in broken into three parts: 
Part 1: Research your element and begin filling out the slides about the details
Part 2: Upload your slide show here and begin practicing your presentation. Be the expert on your element, know this, through and through. Don't just read off a slide or mispronounce words. 
Part 3: Complete your mini element for the class PTE which you will place on the day of your presentation. (I will hand these out directly to you)

Task: Create a small movie scene that demonstrates physical and or chemical changes through a special effect. The scene will be film, the background (stage) is provided by me, you and your lab partner bring the magic alive! Nothing combustible. Create the illusion. 


This assignment is broken down into 4 parts:
   
      1.   Topic Launch link: Complete the first 2 tasks and mark complete in the task bar. There is a video and question section. Task 3 & 4 are the project, you will mark this complete on the 23rd after you present your work. 
      2.  WITH LAB PARTNER Create a story board of your scene either on paper or using the storyboardthat.com site. What is the setting, details, and scene that you would recreate? 
NEXT, write a short script for the scene (can be written on storyboard).
      3. Build the scene, think about what will be in the scene. Where, when, and how will your special effect occur? How are the two of you going to pull this off? Identify the physical and chemical changes. FILM it! You get less than 20 seconds to film your scene. 
      4. Present it! You and your partner will upload your video in GC along with your storyboard and script here.

Pre-Test Time, let' see what you know so we can see where to go.

This form will serve as a reflection opportunity. How well do you know these concepts? Did you get to demonstrate everything you know on your test? This is for you to reflect and it is an opportunity for you to make a plan for the next unit and concepts missed in this unit. Answer honesty, only you and I will view this and it is not a part of your grade. You this reflection as a tool!

The Final assessment for Unit 1 is attached and ready for your creative magic. Be detailed, go beyond expectations to truly represent what you learned about the science method. Check the rubric BEFORE you submit. There will not be an opportunity to boost this grade, it is final.

Check your knowledge of variables now, in your response, list the types of variables, what is it with an example. Do not use your notes or the internet, its time to see what you know.

This is going to be a fun one! We are bringing it all together...the scientific method! Use those smart skills you have acquired and work with your lab partner to tackle Part One and Part Two in the Jamboard. Everyone will complete and submit their own Jamboard. Part Three is a reflection followed by take a selfie time! You will insert 3 selfies that you take while in class.

Write one good scientific question; must be clearly defined and measurable.  This will be graded and count towards your final grade.
