Thursday, 9 February, 2012

Students will be able to:
use the information from virtual activites and classroom discussions to
-describe the structure of the sun.
-recognize the features of the sun.

Students took notes today on the features of the sun.

However, before adding these notes to their interactive journal, students updated the journal with the notes from 1/31. The benchmark was SC.8.E.5.4 and the topic was Gravity and Motion. Be sure to add this information to your table of contents. In addition, set up a Cornell notes page with the date and topic. Be sure to draw something to remind you of gravity. Then, on the next page, paste in the three pages of notes via graphic organizers. Next, paste in the three home learnings (1, 2, and 3). Finally, paste in the GIZMO Gravity Pitch. All this should take four pages. Don't forget to write your three leveled questions, use your highlighters to find the answers to the questions in your notes, and to write your summary at the bottom of the Cornell notes page.

For today's lesson, write this information in the table of contents: Date 2/9 Benchmark: SC.8.E.5.5. Topic: The Sun. After skipping the four pages you saved for the notes on Gravity, begin a new Cornell notes page. Draw and label the sun or something that reminds you of the essential questions for the section on the sun (pages 123-127). Also, paste in home learnings 4, 5, and 6 after these notes. Then, place the GIZMO handout on Star Spectra in your notebook. Make sure that you draw a two column notes section on the page directly adjourning the input page for this topic. Make sure you write notes on: The three layers of the sun, the layers of the Sun's atmosphere, and on the features seen on the sun.

There was no nightly home learning.
