Welcome to the second week of online learning. This week we will begin a new topic. Mrs. NeSmith, a fabulous 6th Grade Science Teacher at Griffin created a YouTube video that will take you through the activity. Feel free to pause the video as we work through it together. This activity we would have done in class this week and it will be fun to attempt it at home. The video is at the bottom of this post. The session has 3 parts: Egg Activity (video at bottom of post), Textbook Assignment, and Form (button of this post). STEP 1 You will need 1 hardboiled egg. If you are unable to get / make a hardboiled egg, you can still follow along with the video. However, the activity is much better if you can use your own egg 😊. Please create the drawing of the egg and the table on a sheet of paper. (Open the attached instructions, "Week 2 Egg Instructions," to see what you need to draw). At the end, there is a quick form to complete so I can gauge your understanding. (See button at the bottom of the blog post.) Procedure for Part 1 - Observe: 1. Place the hard-boiled egg on the paper towel and GENTLY tap the egg on a hard surface. Be careful to keep the different portions as complete as possible. CAUTION: DO NOT TAP THE EGG TOO HARD OR TOO MANY TIMES!!! 2. Trace along several of the large cracks with a colored marker or crayon. 3. Diagram A: Sketch a diagram of the front (yolk side) of the egg AND give a short description of each layer. Diagram B: Sketch a diagram of the rear views of the egg to show where the cracks are located. 4. VERY gently begin separating the layers of the egg. Create a table similar to the one on the "Week 2 Egg Instructions Document" to explain each layer. Egg Layer Description Feels Like… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. STEP 2 Sign into the Digital Textbook and complete the short assignments for this week. It is 5 pages to read on Earth's Layers and an interactive video. If you are using your phone – Log on to the digital text by scrolling down to the bottom of this page. Select the ‘Digital Textbook’ button. Also, the pages will look better if you turn your phone horizontally (sideways). Note: If you have an Apple phone, you will need to ENABLE popups in settings to be able to use the textbook. I am confident you can figure this out. 😊 If you are using a computer – Look to the right, select ‘Digital Textbook’
STEP 3 Complete the "End of Activity Quick Form" by clicking the button at the bottom of this post. Stay Classy my Grove Kids! Email if you have questions or need help. Week 2 Session 2 Assignment will be posted Wednesday.
