Well back to the magnet theme this week. I have given students the rubric that explains what GLCE's that are to be taught that will meet the state standards. All students received this on Friday. Extra copies will be put in the file cabinet for students to get as needed. All students already know that the project is due June 4th. We have explained that due to everything that is going on at the end of the year, there will not be an opportunity to turn in any projects late.

This week, we are going to be getting most of the science portion of Sustainable Systems unit. We will be talking about the different spheres of the earth, carbon, and climate change. Students will be keeping all the materials from class in their binder to use as their class resource.

Here's the schedule:

Science
Monday, May 18
Lesson on Climate Change. Students will be working on some key vocabulary and then reading an article on climate change. We will look at our posters on climate change and circle any information that we found in the article. We will also answer some questions about the article.

Tuesday, May 19
Today's lesson is on Carbon. Students will be gathering information on carbon from a united streaming video and putting it into a worksheet for their own information. This piece is very important for their project.

Wednesday, May 20
Today we will be going to the computer lab. We will be using a site from the Miami Science Museum. This site tells us about the atmosphere, the geosphere (lithosphere), the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. We will be creating a foldable while we are there to demonstrate our knowledge that will also help us with another of the GLCEs.
