Here are some documents to help you guide your review for the assessment on Thursday December 19th.
Some of you needed the Lab Sheets from Lessons 3.1 and 2.3 on the black worm and WOWBug.

Tuesday and Wednesday October 22nd and 23rd
Students worked through Ecobeaker Ex #3 today - Big Fish Little Fish.
Goal: Students should gain a solid understanding behind a trophic cascade. They should understand that a change in the population of one organism in an ecosystem has a direct impact on the other organisms within that ecosystem.
We are also digging into the idea behind invasive species.
Here is an article from Science Magazine on invasive species.
Native Frogs Beat Invasive Toads
and here is a video on aquatic invasives

2:51 - 5:45 on the Invasive Species Lionfish.

October 17th - EcoBeaker Go Fish
Students are working on the 2nd Exercise - "Go Fish" in the EcoBeaker Program.
This exercise looks at what happens to the different trophic levels when an organism is removed from the lake habitat.
Here is a link to the worksheet. - "Go Fish"
Students need to work hard to collect good data from the modeling program, analyze the data nd come to good conclusions backing up their ideas with supporting evidence.

Monday September 30th and Tuesday October 1st
Students had a work day for their Greatest Scientific Discovery Projects. Project page linked here.
Here are two important links to:
Here are two important links to:
We also had a review day in class and students organized materials together to study with.
The key materials that should be reviewed are:
- Vocabulary of an experiment page. (see link)
- Check-in scenarios #1-5
- Readings: Bills' Cake, LifeSaver Article, Scientific Method Article
- Example experiment - Growth of plant and amount of sunlight.
- Penny Lab Post Lab and Aluminum Boat Post Lab.
The Quiz Format will be:
1. Short Answer
2. Matching
3. Scenario given with questions (just like the Check-ins).
Good Luck and Happy Studying!

Thursday September 5th
Today we reviewed the Mystery Box Activity and allowed students to sketch and discuss what they felt was on the bottom of the cube. Here is a look into some of their work:
We followed up this activity with a reading on Asteroids and dinosaurs: unexpected twists to an unfinished story, explaining Walter Alverez exploration into the extinction of dinosaurs. All of this draws out practices that describe "good" practices in science.
