- Language Arts - Finish the book - QUIZ upon completion!
FOUND: Book one of The Missing by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
- we work at daily reading goals, comprehension quizzes, and character development queries.
..........................................................
~ Writing: - MONDAY - return all stories - all grade except 4 late ones... Abbi, Sierra, Alisha, and Jacob
~SHARING ALOUD IS VOLUNTARY.
.................................................................................
- Word Power Lists ~no list this week!
.................................................................................
- Math -Finished with GRAPHING USING TRANSFORMATIONS:
- graphing (x,y) coordinates and making polygons on a Cartesian Coordinate Plane
- then, we translate (slide), apply reflections (flips), or apply rotations (turns)
~TESTS RETURNED ON MONDAY.
~ WE WILL TRY SOME SKILL SETS & SOME MATH GAMES ...............................................................................
- Science: WRAP-UP Extreme Environments
- STUDENTS PRESENT THEIR RESEARCH & MODEL PROJECT COMPONENTS
- HAND-IN THE PINK PAGES TOO!
Extreme Environments (EE)
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
BC Grade 6 - Prescribed Learning Outcomes
* explain obstacles unique to exploration of a
specific EE.
* assess technologies used for EE.
* describe contributions of Canadians to exploration
technologies.
..........................................................................................................................................................................
Research
Component: your goal is to create a partner
research project on 1 EE. Use a device in class!
Goal 1: to state
5 characteristics of your chosen EE’s on earth / space (10 points)
+ *(35 points)
- what conditions make it extreme?
*Prior research
- state the location on earth /
space
- list the website / book source
Goal 2: to find
one extremophile in your EE. (5points)
- what is its name?
- what adaptations does it have to live in
this EE? How is it able to live there?
- print out or sketch or copy and
save a picture on your device of the extremophile
Goal 3: to give
specific examples of how technology is used by humans to travel to or explore
the EE.
- identify types of equipment and
methods used to explore EE’s (ie. fibre optics, Newt Suit, robotics,…)
- what Canadian technologies are
used? (satellite telecommunications,
ocean mapping, submarine
technology, robots developed by
Canadians,…) (10 points) – COMPLETED!
Goal 4: to
explain if you think it is necessary for humans to take living samples from
your EE’s or should you
leave the environment alone, undisturbed?
Explain in three or four sentences. (5 points)
Explain in three or four sentences. (5 points)
Presentation: Organize
your research on a piece of art paper, make a live report, create a video,
other ideas will be considered.
– neatly
- all parts labeled with headings or sub-headings
- colorful
(10points)
-
balanced
- easy to read / view
- accurate information
- resources (websites and books used on a separate page)
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
3-D Model
Challenge Component: (25 points)
~ Select the
most challenging EE you studied
~ design and
build a complete model for traveling into your EE and living in it for 3
months.
~ make sure
your model has features that will be able to withstand the extreme conditions
of your EE.
~ present your
3-D model to the class and speak about all its features.
