Thursday, 15 January, 2012

Students will be able to:
use the information from individual reading assignments, group discussions, hands-on activites and teacher discussions to
-review the lowest reporting category information from the Winter interim assessment.

Students reviewed questions one through four from the Winter Interim Assessment.

Students then were placed in differentiated instruction groups to review the area on the exam for which they scored the lowest.

Students read passages on the reporting category, and will also complete a hands-on activity associated with that category.

Those low in the Nature of Science read about experimental set ups and will graph data from an experiment to determine conclusions.

Those low in Physical Science read about gravity and air resistance and will measure how friction affects gravity.

Those low in Life Science read about genetics and heredity and will determine how predicting inherited traits occurs.

Those low in Earth and Space Science read about factors that alter the Earth's crust and will determine how sea floor spreading occurs.

There was no home learning assigned.
