LIFE SCIENCE - CHAPTER 2C

Chapter 2C is about the classification of living organisms.  Here is the link for the Power Point.

CHAPTER 2C

We are also working on a Living Kingdoms Notebook or Power Point.  We discussed the project in class and each student received the instructions.  There is a place for the parents' signature that needs to be returned tomorrow.   Here is a link for the instructions.  

LIVING KINGDOMS PROJECT

If you have any questions, please email me or send in a note.  This is a big project, but the benefits have been communicated to me by students after they have graduated.  They say that they were able to use what they learned about taxonomy doing this project.  However, they also learned how to research, which was even more valuabl

I'm looking forward to seeing their best, creative work!

CHAPTER 19 - ELEMENTS OF WEATHER

On Friday, February 6, we did some simple air pressure experiments.

This first video shows that increased pressure causes the air in the dropper to contract.  That makes the water level in the dropper to increase to the point that the dropper sinks because it is more dense.

We also discussed Bernoulli's effect.  A moving fluid (air) will cause a low pressure area.  Substances will move toward a high pressure into a low pressure.  The slip of paper moves up into the low pressure created by the moving air above it.

These "Kissing Balloons" illustrate Bernoulli's effect as well.

CHAPTER 18 POWER POINTS

We have finished our space exploration study, and we are beginning a new section.  We will be studying meteorology for the next few weeks.  The first chapter covers the atmosphere.

Here are the Google links for the Power Points.

I am looking forward to Spirit Week next week and Jog-a-Thon next Friday.   It should be a great week of fun and laughs!  Plan to participate every day!

Happy New Year!

As we finish up our study of space exploration, we will be learning about manned space flight.  We will talk about the race to the moon, space stations, and the space shuttle.

Here are the Google Drive links for the three Power Points for this section.
