12/15/2017 - Since this is a short week (and, by now, students know the quality of work expected from them), Mrs. Henderson and I will attempt to implement STEMscopes in the form it was meant to be presented in as an online textbook. We will not print the assignments for students and combine them into a packet. Each day, students will be assigned activities in class through their STEMscopes account. As students complete the assignments in class, they will "turn in" the assignments through STEMscopes. We will see how this process works from both the students' perspectives and ours. Please let me know if you have any feedback from a parent's perspective. Thanks!
SCIENCE SUPPLIES NEEDED: If you have any old pennies lying around at home, please consider sending them to school with your child. We will be conducting an experiment on oxidation on Monday (12/18). The more pennies, the merrier! :) |

12/1/2017 - Since we will only be giving short quizzes for each of the STEMscopes in Physical Science, quiz scores will not be sent home on a cover page. Your child can show you their score through their STEMscopes account online.

11/26/2017 - During our investigation of matter, the students will focus on four short Scopes. We
will not have our regularly scheduled two week tests; instead, we will have a short quiz after each scope. Our Matter Scopes will cover the following material:
The Scopes are as follows:

11/7/2017 - Our assessments for Matter Cycles is tentatively scheduled for November 16th. The test will consist of the 5 multiple choice questions and 3 open-ended questions. There will also be a journal and packet check.
|
|
11/1/2017 - The quiz has been moved to Friday, November 3rd.
10/26/2017 - We will not have a formal assessment for this STEMscope. Instead we will use the multiple-choice assessment as a quiz. The tentative date for the quiz is November 2nd. |
|
10/14/17 - Test and note check (packet and journal) for Food Webs is scheduled for 10/19. The test is 5 multiple choice questions and 3 short answer questions in the form of a CER (Claim Evidence Reasoning). You can use your packet handouts and notes to review.

9/29/17 - Our Science test is on Wednesday. Start thinking about the "big idea" (Living things have basic needs that must be met in order for them to survive and thrive. Resources are taken in by organisms and then recycled back into the environment as organisms live, grow, and die. Matter in an organism’s environment is cycled among living and nonliving things. This cycling ensures that an environment’s occupants obtain what they need from the environment while contributing to its health and sustainability.)
9/21/17 - We will begin the Basic Needs STEMscope on Friday, September 22nd. The tentative date for the Basic Needs test is on Wednesday, October 4th. |
