This is HL 3. Answers only on your own paper.
This is HL 4. Answers only on the back of the same page as HL 3.

Students will be able to:
-describe the physical properties of the sun.
-determine how the sun produces energy.

Students reviewed the following questions from the mini lesson on the electromagnetic spectrum:


1. Which feature best distinguishes one form of electromagnetic energy from  another? SC.7.P.10.1
     a. color
     b. wavelength  
     c. surface temperature
     d. distance traveled


2. Denise was driving east over a hill in the afternoon, shortly after a rain shower. Suddenly the sun 
    broke through the clouds, and she saw a rainbow ahead of her. Which of the following made the 
    rainbow possible?  SC.7.P.10.1
    a. Raindrops act like a prism and separate the white light in sunlight.
    b. Water reflects sunlight like a mirror to make it look colored.
    c. Overhead black clouds reflect in puddles to cause a mirage.
    d. Air pollution causes the sky to look colored under these conditions.

Students completed the lesson on the electromagnetic spectrum by viewing a power point presentation that included definitions and a page to color the visible light spectra. Students also watched a BrainPop video on waves as part of the presentation and completed a GIZMO on the Herschel Experiment. All of these handouts should be placed in the interactive notebook.

Students then took notes, using the Cornell notes format on the sun. Students write a quick write, and collaborated on a think/write/pair/share on the sun. They then watched a BrainPop movie on the Sun. Students received handouts and took notes on the Sun. STudents completed the Costa's leveled questions and the summary for the notes, being sure to color coordinate the questions and the three leveled questions.

Home learnings 3 and 4, to be done on the SAME sheet of loose leaf paper )HL 3 on the front, HL 4 on the back), can be found at the top of this blog. These home learnings are due on Wednesday.
