This week we will begin unit 2, the relationships between the Earth, Moon, and Sun. We will focus this week on Moon Phases and why we see different shades of the moon. Students will get to experience a simulation of the moon phases. Science Fair Hypothesis' are due this week. Hypothesis Statements for Science Fair -Write a possible solution for the problem based on what you have read. -Make sure this possible solution is a complete sentence and testable. -Ways to write the hypothesis:
Astronomy is quickly coming to an end. Study guide - We will receive a study guide on Wednesday (1st and 2nd) and Thursday (3rd, 4th 5th). The study guide will be turned in on testing day. Review - We will review for the test Monday (1st period), Tuesday (2nd - 4th periods), and Wednesday for 5th period. Test - We will test Wednesday (1st - 2nd period) and Thursday (3rd - 5th periods). Please use the link below to practice on a Quizziz.....please use your name. Study and research what you are unsure of... joinmyquiz.com and enter this code 532719 We spent a class period this week putting together the first few pages of our Science Fair logbooks. Each student now has a question and some students have chosen to work with a partner from their science class. The next step for students is to begin research on their topic. They need to gather enough information to formulate a hypothesis, an educated guess of what they think the results of their experiment will be. At the end of their experiment, they might learn that their hypothesis was wrong, and that is okay. I have included below numerous Science Fair resources.
Everyone should have receive the guidelines for our planet project yesterday/today. You will get two classes periods to work on the project; make sure you bring all materials needed such as 4x6 index cards, coloring materials, and/or pictures you may use. PLEASE read the instructions for the project; and I have also uploaded the planet project guidelines/rubric below. The project will be due Friday for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd period and Monday for 4th and 5th period. Also, I have posted the website for the planets as an additional resource. All the information you need should be on your planets graphic organizer that we completed in class.
