Home Learning Assignments for both A and B days 09/05/2014

Everyone has the following assignments. How much you did in class will determine how much you have left to do. Due dates: A = 09/08 and B = 09/09/2014.

·       Finish setting up your Science Project  Journal. If you were absent you will need to pick up the directions at your next class.

·       Brainstorm 5-10 science project questions or ideas. Write them in ink in your Science Project Journal (SPJ) starting on p. 10. Write only in ink. Number all pages. Initial and date each entry in your journal.

·       Finish Vocabulary foldable. This is a shutterfold foldable. take a piece of white paper and fold it hotdog, then hotdog again, then hamburger. It's now a rectangle. Open the rectangle and fold the left edge to the center and the right edge to the center. It now looks like two flaps meeting in the middle. Open the entire paper and turn it landscape. fold the left edge to the center and the right edge to the center. You should have 4 blocks on each side of the center. Carefully cut between the clocks from the edge to the first fold. You should now have 8 flaps. On each flap write one vocabulary word (see below). Then under the flap write the definition of the word. Use your textbook pp. 26-37 to develop definitions.  On the reverse of each flap draw a visualization to help you remember the meaning of each word.

·       GIZMO: Growing Plants- do the Assessment questions. These will be picked up electronically during your class. Remember, the public library will let you use computers.   If you did poorly on  Part C this past week here are the directions again and perhaps you will re-do or complete the assignment to do better.  Directions for Part C.  Follow directions and ill in the question. Write a hypothesis. Remember,  you only use one test variable for a hypothesis and your outcome variable must be measureable.  RUN 10 trials for your control group and each of your experimental groups. Record all data in data tables. See the earlier post with a data table. After recording the data develop a conclusion.
