We will continue to look at clouds and how they impact weather. We are going to spend some time today defining a few specific terms that will be essential for being successful in this unit.

Weather & Climate

We will be starting our final unit of the year, weather. We will go over the I Can Statements, pretest & probe on how clouds are created. The main focus of this unit will be looking at how certain patterns and properties of the atmosphere impact the weather and climate. We will look specifically at the jet stream, ocean currents, global winds & composition/layers of the atmosphere.

Osmosis Jones

To finish up the Human Body Unit we will be watching Osmosis Jones. You will have a short assignment over the video. You will be asked to make connections between the video and your research, looking for examples of how systems or body parts work together or how a breakdown affects the body. You will do this on a piece of paper.

Finalize Mag. Article & Finish CCTT/Survey

You will have 20 minutes to finish your Body Mag. article and submit it through the link on the blog. After that we will use the remainder of class to finish up the CCTT and the choir kids that missed the survey can complete that as well. If you need to finish your article please start on it immediately, thanks.

Finalize Body Articles

We will be finalizing your body articles for the human body performance assessment. Remember this is your final assessment for the human body unit. Please take your time and make sure you have included everything necessary to receive the grade you want. Today will be the last day in class to work on the articles.

Peer Editing

We will continue with working on your article.  You will get into groups of 3 and read each others articles. You will be given a checklist of things to look for and a section to leave notes on what they can improve overall all and what you feel they did a really good job on. Remember you are partially in charge of your group members success. They will be looking at your feedback to decide what changes they possible will need to make.
