Monday and Tuesday, 27 and 28 February, 2012

Students will be able to:
use the information from virtual activities, textbooks, and classroom discussions to
-explain why we see moon phases.
-relate moon phases to the moon's position.
-name the phases of the moon.

Students will not have home learning on Monday and Tuesday, but they will have an assignment on Wednesday.

Students submitted notebooks for notebook check.

Students received the GIZMO sheet for Phases of the Moon. This will be placed in the notebook after notes on the moon's phases and the home learning on the moon's phases.

Students also received the remediation sheet. This week's remediation reviews the sixth grade earth and space benchmarks. Use the information below to complete your understanding of these topics.

Remediation Week of 2/27/12

SC.6.P.13.1 Investigate and describe types of forces including contact forces and forces acting at a distance, such as electrical, magnetic, and gravitational.
If you got questions 10, 14, 15, and/or 16 wrong:
1. Do the Pearson assigned activities:
How are forces described?
What are the main types of forces?
2. Also, go to the Explore tab and click the link for Chapter 9 and then Chapter 9.1 Types of Forces. Click the Elaborate tab and complete the Art in Motion activity.
3. Then, go to ylearn.co.uk and do the activity Types of Forces. Use your name and the access code: sc6p131

SC.6.P.13.2 Explore the Law of Gravity by recognizing that every object exerts gravitational force on every other object ant that the force depends on how much mass the objects have and how far apart they are.
If you got questions 2, 5, and/or 12 wrong:
1. Do the Pearson assigned activity:
What factors affect gravity?
2. Then, go to Dr. Gayden’s Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com) click the link for the pHet activity. Follow the directions to learn about mass and distance and forces!

SC.6.P.13.3 Investigate and describe that an unbalanced force acting on an object changes its speed, or direction of motion, or both.
If you got questions 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, and/or 17 wrong:
1. Do the Pearson assigned activities:
How do forces affect motion?
What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?
What is Newton’s Second Law of Motion?
What is Newton’s Third Law of Motion?
2. Also, go to the Explore Tab and click the link for Chapter 9 and then Chapter 9.2 Balanced and Unbalanced Forces. Click the Elaborate tab and complete the Interactive Art activity AND the Apply it! activity.
3. Then, go to the Explore Tab and click the link for Chapter 9 and then Chapter 9.3 Newton’s Laws of Motion. Click the Elaborate tab and complete the Directed Interactive Lab.
3. Then, go to ylearn.co.uk and do the activity Balanced and Unbalanced Forces. Use your name and the access code: sc6p133
