Students worked on the GIZMO Tides in class. The completed GIZMO will be placed in the notebook with this week's notes.
Remediation Week of 3/19/12
SC.7.L.15.2 Explore the scientific theory of evolution by recognizing and explaining ways in which genetic variation and environmental factors contribute to evolution by natural selection and diversity of organisms.
1. Do ALL Pearson assigned activities
2. Also, go to Dr Gayden’s Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com). There are two activities that deal with this topic. Do both. Use the handout provided to do the Explore Learning activity.
3. Seventh Grade Coach book pages 100-103.
SC.7.L.15.3 Explore the scientific theory of evolution by relating how the inability of a species to adapt within a changing environment may contribute to the extinction of that species.
1. Do ALL Pearson assigned activities.
2. Also, go to Dr Gayden’s Science Zone (drgcdms.podomatic.com). Click the link to learn more about the topic.
SC.7.L.16.1 Understand and explain that every organism requires a set of instructions that specifies its traits, that this hereditary information (DNA) contains genes located in the chromosomes of each cell, and that heredity is the passage of these instructions from one generation to another.
1. Do ALL Pearson assigned activities.
