Today there is a video follow-up to the first part of the Fizz Quiz lesson. We talk about the idea of "conservation of matter" and how when mixing chemicals, there is nothing created (added in) or lost (removed) when a chemical reaction/change takes place- only the particles are rearranged to make something new.
I JUST updated the Google Classroom folder with the picture of the precipitate in bag three and the evaporation dish with the mysterious salt (I promised it would be there!) There is ONE page marked MANDATORY that you will need to fill out. I have found the best way is to simply use text boxes over where the text belongs.

Today's lesson has two parts- one is to work on reducing fractions down to simplest form (lowest terms). In the video, I show two different ways: cross-cancelling which only works for multiplication (but is really helpful when we multiply mixed numbers) and reducing after computation. This last strategy is what you parents will be more familiar with and it works for ALL operations, not just multiplying.
The other skill is multiplying whole numbers by fractions without using models. There is ONE page that is marked as MANDATORY. You will need to complete this, including reducing/simplifying. The remaining materials are for extra practice. Hi kids! So beginning this week, you will only have official STEM "assignments" from me on Mondays and Wednesdays and you will get Humanities assignments from Ms. Newton on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
MATH: A new lesson will be posted via video on each STEM day. The lesson will likely cover 1-2 skills that go together: example rounding and estimating. There will be ONE page that is marked "Mandatory Assignment Sheet". This is the ONE page that must be resubmitted for me to check over. I will also provide extra practice and possibly IXL skills, but unless they are marked "Mandatory" it is not required. SCIENCE: A new lesson will be posted via video on each STEM day. There may be notes that accompany the lesson or activity pages for you to fill out while the lesson is taking place. These will be provided for you to download or fill-in digitally. There will be a link to your "assignment", most likely through Google Forms that will automatically send it to me when you are done. FUN FRIDAY: On Friday's I plan to do some virtual get togethers with each homeroom- it will be a time when we can check-in with one another - I will send out an invitation for that later this week. So far only 16 of you have responded to the Exit ticket from my video on Thursday. Please make sure that you have watched the video- it is about 22 minutes long- and answered the exit ticket link. Both are on the Thursday blog post.
Hi all- Sorry for late post, but my internet was not cooperating last night.
Just one page to review the work from yesterday. Please turn it in by emailing me a picture Today you are going to watch this video where I do a quick lesson about multiplying simple fractions. I am going to review the models, because it has been a while. Tomorrow, I will be doing a video that goes over a couple of strategies for multiplying a fraction and a whole number. The materials at the bottom are to give you options for practice. Please complete 20 minutes of practice (not including watching the video) for today and tomorrow. Send me what work you complete in an email or let me know if you have done IXL (please remember to do the IXLs that I am assigning). IXL M20 and M21 will help support the concepts from the video. You may also work on IXL skills M1-7 as a review.
Today you are going to watch a video of me and my son, Josh, creating three different solutions using combinations of 2 solutes in each solution. We are trying to determine whether the two solutes dissolved into water create a chemical reaction. Please pardon the bumps along the way as I try to figure out how to video WITH me in the frame :)
Before getting started, you will need a copy of this page from Google Docs. You can either print it, screenshot it on your iPad or make a copy of my doc and save it to your drive. If all else fails, draw it out and create one for yourself (like I did in the video). When the video is done, please go answer the two questions on this Google Form. Please try and complete this task by Friday. Hi all, I wanted to give everyone a day to catch up. There are A LOT of you that I have not heard from yet.
Please try and work on the crash course videos/questions (From Monday) and the Mystery Science (From Yesterday) and complete the "Exit Ticket" on google forms, even if you don't get to do the activity. For Math, please show me what you have been working on, be it worksheets or IXL skills. You should have about 40 minutes of work from the past 2 days. For those of you who are caught up, take the day off or find something fun to do. I found a Science Mom video on Chemistry and Fractions (perfect combo for us!) in case you are interested in that. I have not had a chance to watch the whole thing, so you'll need to let me know what you think. I'll keep updating, but I am guessing most of the snow has melted at this point :) Hi all, please take the time to watch the Crash Course videos and send me your answers if you haven't done so already. Some teammates have only given me answers for one video but not both. I have created a google form "worksheet" in case that is easier for you to fill out since it will automatically go to me when you are done.
For today, I am giving you a hands-on activity through Mystery Science. You will need to clink on the link to Mystery Science and then go through the slide show. You MUST get your parents permission to do the hands-on activity BEFORE you start. All of the materials should be available in your house. If you do the activity you will need this google doc to fill out. Even if you do not do the activity part, please fill out this Exit Ticket on Google Forms so that I know what you think about the activity and if it was worthwhile. I know there is a lot of links today...trying to figure out "work collection" from afar. Miss you all....happy sciencing! |
