These are the practice CER Questions for our Unit 2 Exam which we'll be taking Tuesday. This practice has two CER questions, but in our real exam, we'll only have 1 to complete. If you complete this before test day, I'll excuse/replace another missing assignment in the grade book.

This is an extra credit opportunity for lesson 3.1. Students will be reading about Fiber Optic Cables and learning how we use light waves to communicate.

This grade will replace an old missing/low classwork or homework grade. I do not give partial credit on extra credit assignments .

Today we'll continue lesson 3.1. We're still answering the chapter question: Why does Australia get more UV light than other parts of the world?

To do this we're going to use our light wave simulation to learn more about what happens to light as it travels and build our vocabulary so we can use science terms when discussing what is happening to our light.

*** We're one day behind so students will complete this assignment during 12/10 asynchronous day. Due by Friday 12/11) ****

Today we're wrapping up our evidence collection + reasoning to help us decide the cause of Australia having a higher rate of skin cancer.

Today we'll begin lesson 3.1. We're going to begin to answer the chapter question: Why does Australia get more UV light than other parts of the world?

To do this we're going to first start to learn more about what happens to light as it travels.

*** We began going over this together in class and students are completing on their own by the end of the day THURSDAY ****

These are the practice Multiple Choice Questions for our Unit 2 Exam which we'll be taking Wednesday. The real exam will also be 12 MC Questions (+CER). If you complete this before test day, I'll excuse/replace a missing assignment in the grade book.

Today we'll be wrapping up lesson 2.5 with a CER.

We're going to be continuing practicing our evidence gathering. On Monday students will be tasked with writing a CER. The evidence from the CER will be taken from this week's activities.

Included in this post is a video walkthrough of today's assignment

The main activity for today will be to analyze different pieces of information in order to practice gathering evidence and using that evidence to help us answer a question. These skills are important for developing our ability to write CERs. The directions for each activity are below, but here is a video walkthrough of what we’re doing today: Walkthrough

Follow up writing activity to yesterday's SIM activity. Includes a video walkthrough on what you're supposed to do.

Hello studnets, today we will be reading an article titled: What is Melanin? You all will read the short article, summarize each paragraph, and will answer two question on the entire article. This assignment shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes.

I'm also including a link to the article being read out loud, if that's something you would like.

This is going to be our second asynchronous assignment for the week. Students will be taking the official exit ticket (remember exit tickets + quizzes are 30% of your grade) on Waves.

To do you best on this activity, please make sure you've completed the Monday and first synchronous activity (Tuesday's assignment for Cohort A/ Wednesday's assignment for Cohort B).

This is the second synchronous activity for the week! Please complete whenever your Cohort has zoom class.

Asynchronous assignment for this week! This needs to be done before your synchronous lesson, otherwise you will be behind & confused!
Estimated to take 30 mins & includes a Do now, Reading, and Simulation (video for those who can't access amplify)

Asynchronous assignment for Lesson 2.3
Article Reading + Review Questions
Extra Credit Opportunity embedded

Synchronous assignment!
We'll be learning more about wavelength and amplitude & taking an exit ticket at the end

Are you panicking about your grades?
Do you need a list of the assignments that are worth the most or easiest to do to bring your grade up?
Well this is the document for you!

Note: Check your grades before you complete these assignments. This is a general list. DON’T waste your time re-doing things you’ve already done/scored well on.

I complied this list because I was getting too many emails asking which assignment students can redo. Everything on this document is fair game. Nothing from Unit 1 will be accepted after Sunday.

This is the retake for the Unit 1 Exam. Although they look similar, I have made changes.

You have until Sunday at 5pm to complete this re-take. This gives you 6 days to study & take the exam. It is in your best interest to complete any missing work and practice assignments BEFORE you do the re-take. Don't just rush through things, actually take your time and LEARN.

This will be the only opportunity for retakes. You cannot edit your responses after you submit them Take your time and try your best!

Today we will be going over our Monday + Tuesday Asynch Assignments on Lesson 1.4 + Beginning Lesson 2.1

This is the exit ticket that goes along with our Thursday activity. You will be deciding an answer to the Investigative Question (Is all light the same? ) and supporting or refuting a student's claim based on evidence you will be collecting from a simulation.

Hi Scientists!

1. Today we will be completing our asynchronous activity on Google Forms, since I got some feedback that you guys liked forms better than google docs!

2. I tried to make the form as straight forward & clear as possible, but it's my first time so sorry in advance if there are any typos/confusion.

3. I recorded a video of myself walking through each part of the assignment, where I read everything out loud. I also try to give a few tips as well, so please use this in case you get stuck / need that support.

4. You can save & edit your responses if you can't do it all at once, but please just remember to hit SUBMIT. The form will not save your answers if you don't hit submit. You also have to use your student email. I won't grade this until Thursday morning, so you have until then to work on/finish this assignment!

This assignment is broken down into 3 parts. Each part has its own video guide and set of questions for students to complete. We will not be completing this in class, so please make sure this is completed by the time we are asynchronous.

Total length of videos = 8 minutes

The following document will begin or collection of evidence to prove whether or not light carries energy. Watch the attached videos, and answer the 3 activity questions, along with the exit ticket at the end.

Here's today's asynch assignment!

Pre-Assessments are for a completion grade. Completing this pre-assessment can replace the Unit 1 Pre-assessment grade.
Write on the document & highlight your answer choices.

This practice exam is the same length as our unit exam (10 Multiple Choice Questions + 1 CER). Although there is no time limit, you will have 45 minutes for the exam tomorrow, so time yourself to see if you can complete the exam in time.

This practice is a completion grade, so as long as you have turned it in filled out, you will get credit. I am not scoring for accuracy. At the end of the day, I will post a key so you may check your answers.

There is extra tutoring today from 3:30 -4:00 if you would like to join & talk about any questions, the upcoming exam, or CER. Use the normal class zoom link to join.

Lastly, I included our slide show from yesterday if you want to go over CERs again. In the last few slides I have some tips for our CER tomorrow as well.

Follow along the CER presentation and complete the CER practice at the bottom (you can ignore the who won question for now). We'll be sharing and going over in class Wednesday!

Asynchronous Assignment for today!

Instructions: As you read the article, highlight the main scientific idea of each paragraph and type in your answer to the questions for each paragraph in the column to the right. The first paragraph has been completed for you as an example.

This Asynchronous assignment will be completed by all 8th Grade Integrated Science students. I want you to use this template to create a powerpoint presentation about yourself (like Ramzi did last week). Each slides tells you what you should include. You can use your own pictures or pictures from google. You can change the theme/include gifs or memes/ etc. Be creative! Have Fun!
