Good Afternoon,

This week in Science we created our front cover for our ISN, which should be filled with Science-related drawings.

The Rubrics should be completed (text marked with 2 different colored pencils and smiley faces).

Students used a hard copy handout of the Cell Theory to take Cornell Notes, which should also be completed.  We watched a video on The Cell Theory in class today.

The Cell Theory Timeline was supposed to be done by the end of class today, however there was a fire forcing the entire school to evacuate the classrooms for approximately 20 minutes, therefore I felt it only fair to give the students until next class, which is Wednesday.  The timeline should be in color (at least 4 colors) and all the information is within their Cornell Notes and the Handout, in addition to the video we watched in class. 

Wednesday we will start with Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells---powerpoint presentation and students will be taking Cornell Notes. Students will be processing content information via a Yes Ma'am "chant" (they will create their own using the provided template).  Then they will complete a structure and function worksheet.

The following class we will be starting Cells, beginning with a pictorial.  Students will write in content while I draw it, write it, and reivew it, on a huge triple-wide poster.  He will need his colored pencils (which he did not have today).  After two classes students will be creating their own cell using an analogy (my example will be that of a Cookie Factory).

Hope this information helps!
