Students will be able to:
update their interactive science notebook.
Students should add all the information from the last few weeks into their interactive notebooks as follows:
After correctly entering the needed information in your Table of Contents, turn to the next available page and follow the instructions listed.

Use the following info: Date-Benchmark-Topic-Pages/Papers-Instructions on what to do
2/20 SC.6.E.7.1 Heat HL 9/HL 10, handout Heat Transfer through Earth’s Systems date, page number, and topic, tape in the Heat Transfer Through Earth’s System pages, glue in HL 9/10 on Heat and Heat Transfer
2/27 SC.8.P.8.5 Physical Properties and Changes in Matter HL 11 What is Matter HL 12 What are physical and chemical changes? handout date, page number and topic. tape in the handout on physical properties of matter. glue in Hl 11 and 12.
3/4 or 3/5 SC.8.E.5.9 Phases of the Moon HL 13, GIZMO Phases of the Moon, handout on phases of the moon, handout that says clicker quiz, bell ringer sheet Moonlight date, page number and topic. make a Cornell notes page (count 6 lines from the bottom and draw a line all the way across the page. Make a column on the left to the RIGHT of the pink/red line. in the center, paste in the bellringer probe Moonlight. on the next page, tape in the completed GIZMO phases of the moon/ on the next page, glue in HL 13 and the handout on the moon phases, and the clicker quiz
be sure to write your three leveled questions and color coordinate the questions with the answers: 1)what are the phases of the moon, 2)compare and contrast the new moon and the full moon, 3)hypothesize about what would happen if the moon’s rate of rotation on its axis were not equal to its time to revolve around the earth. Also write a summary: The changing relative positions of the moon, Earth, and sun cause the phases of the moon. As the moon revolves around Earth, the amount of the moon’s surface that is lit remains the same. The part of the lit surface that can be seen from Earth changes. These changes we see as the phases of the moon. There are 8 phases of the moon.
3/6 SC.8.E.5.9 Tides HL 14, GIZMO Ocean Tides, handout on Tides, bell ringer sheet High and Dry date, page number and topic. make a Cornell notes page and paste the bell ringer in the center. on the NEXT page, tape in the completed GIZMO on Phases of the Moon, On the NEXT page, glue in HL 14, the handout on Tides
be sure to write your three leveled questions and color coordinate the questions with the answers: 1) what causes tides? 2)compare and contrast spring and neap tides 3) hypothesize what would happen if a spring tide coincided with an earthquake. Also write a summary: Tides are caused by differences in how much gravity from the moon and the sun pulls on different parts of earth. A spring tide occurs during a new moon and a full moon. A neap tide occurs during a first and a third quarter moon.
3/7 or 3/8 SC.8.E.5.9 Solar and Lunar Eclipses HL 15 (2 pages-How does an eclipse of the moon occur? How does an eclipse of the sun occur?, handout on eclipses, bell ringer on solar and lunar eclipse, GIZMO on Eclipse date, page number and topic. make a Cornell notes page and DRAW something to remind you of eclipses. on the NEXT page, tape in the GIZMO on Eclipses, on the NEXT page, glue in HL 15, the handout on eclipses, and the bell ringer on solar and lunar eclipses
be sure to write your three leveled questions and color coordinate the questions with the answers: 1) what is an eclipse? 2) compare and contrast solar and lunar eclipses 3) explain why a total lunar eclipse is visible to more people on earth than a total lunar eclipse. Also write a summary: When an object in space comes between the sun and a third object, it casts a shadow on that object, causing an eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between earth and the sun, blocking sunlight form earth. A lunar eclipse occurs at a full moon when earth is directly between the moon and the sun.
3/11 or 3/12 SC.8.E.5.9 Seasons HL 16 What causes the seasons? bell ringer probe Summer Talk, GIZMO Summer and Winter, date, page number and topic. Make a Cornell notes page and paste in the bell ringer summer talk in the center section. on the NEXT page, tape in the GIZMO Summer and Winter.
be sure to write your three leveled questions and color coordinate the questions with the answers: 1) what causes seasons? 2) how do seasons in the northern hemisphere compare with those in the southern hemisphere? 3)hypothesize about how the seasons would change if the earth’s axis tilt were either 0 or much greater than 34 degrees. Also write a summary: earth has seasons because its axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun. When the earth’s axis is tilted towards the sun, there are more hours of daylight and the sun’s rays are concentrated, making it summer there. The sun’s energy is spread over a larger area and the sun is low in the sky, so it is winter.
3/13 SC.6.L.14.1 Organization of Living Things handout organization of living things date, page number and topic. paste in handout
3/13 SC.6.L.14.2 Cell Theory HL 17, handout scenarios for cell theory date, page number and topic. tape in handout, paste in HL 17
3/14 or 3/15 SC.6.L.14.4 Cells and Organelles HL 18 (what are the main parts/what are the other cell parts?), coloring sheet plant and animal cell, cell city analogy, how is a cell related to a school date, page number and topic. paste or tape in coloring sheet of plant and animal cell, cell city analogy, and handout how is a cell related to a school
3/18 or 3/19 SC.6.L.15.1 Classification classification notes, classification of living things handout date, page number, and topic. paste or tape in classification notes handout and classification of living things handout.
3/20 SC.6.L.14.5 Human Body Systems handouts on human body, digestive system bell ringer, clicker activity handout date, page number, and topic. paste or take in all handouts
