On Wednesday, I want you to watch the Exploration part of our next Mystery Science lesson by yourself. STOP when you get to the "Activity Video"

At each discussion question, pause to think about your response. I will post a Question to GC for you to answer the discussion questions.

On Thursday, we will meet on Zoom to complete the activity together

Be sure to watch the Mystery Science video (attached + directions in separate post) first!

Then, answer the following questions:

1. What places would YOU visit in our Solar System? What kinds of dangers would you have to protect yourself from?
2. How would YOU decide which exoplanet to visit FIRST?

Your test is posted!

There are 3 sections:
1. Multiple Choice and Matching--Read everything carefully! Choose the BEST answer.

2. True or False--Again, read carefully! At the end, you will choose 1 false statement to make true.

3. Short Answer + Bonus--Each short answer is 2 points, so be sure to give full, complete answers! You can even cite evidence from our Mystery Science activities. Bonus questions are optional!

You may take the test at any time today; HOWEVER, I will not be available for questions before 11:30AM.

If you missed the Zoom Review game, you can still play! The Escape Room is in the attached form. You need to answer the questions in order to find the correct code. You may want to watch a bit of the Zoom for directions.

We have our Space Test next Tuesday! On Friday, we will review for the test on Zoom! Be sure to bring any questions you may have.

We will be doing a Mystery Science on the moon! You do not need to print out anything, but see the materials and setup below. At the end of the mystery, you will complete the mystery assessment as an exit ticket.

Materials & Setup--try your best to have these materials and setup so you can see the phases of the moon!
-If you can be in a room that can get dark, that would be best!
-Sun: flashlight
-Moon: In yesterday's video, my moon was a clay ball on a popsicle stick. Smooth styrofoam balls work too. If you have clay or play doh, you can roll it into a ball and put it on a pen or pencil! A smooth styrofoam ball also works well. If you do not have any of these materials, you can also just use a small ball to hold in your hand.

Materials needed:
-Universe in a Box printed (2 pages)

Great job on your Earth Day & Arbor Day assignments last week. I hope you enjoyed them!

This week we will be reviewing the Earth System topics we've been studying. We will have a Zoom Class review session on Thursday, and you will take a test on Friday (on Google Forms).

For Tuesday & Wednesday, I want you to start reviewing the material independently. I created a study guide and review Slides for you to use. Here is a suggested schedule:

TUESDAY:
1. Look over the attached study guide to see what topics will be on Friday's test.

2. Start working through the review slides--you will also have tomorrow to work on this!

WEDNESDAY:
1. Complete your review slides & turn them in.

2. *Optional---though recommended*
Use the study guide to create flashcards, or make a more detailed study guide. You may need to review your past classwork assignments (on Google Classroom) to help you!

Today is Arbor Day!

1. Watch my instructional video first:
http://somup.com/cYf3YCiTy0

2. Complete the tasks in Slides

3. Turn it in when complete!

*TIPS*
If it is difficult for you to type your work into the Slide, you can also print out the slides and write on them directly. Then, take photos of your work, upload them to the assignment, and turn them in. If you are unsure how to do this, please let me know!

*BONUS*
The last two slides are optional!

Yesterday, you saw why & how plastic was created, and that plastic can certainly have good uses, but that it can also harm the environment.

Today, we are going to look at how plastic gets into oceans, and the types of harm it can cause there. You will watch a video that talks about nurdles, which are just tiny pieces of plastic. It's a funny word, and the video makes them seem very cute, BUT they can cause A LOT of harm in our oceans.

1. Watch the video: Nurdles' Quest for Ocean Domination

2. Answer the questions in the form.

*TIPS*
It can be helpful to read the questions before the video.

*BONUS/OPTIONAL*
Sketch up your idea for a technology or process that could clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Label its parts to help show how it would work.

Let me know if you need any help, or have any questions!

Today's activity is about recycling!

1. Watch the Mystery Science mini-lesson on how plastic is made (linked below). After Doug's video, be sure to open the 2nd BONUS video!

2. As you watch, or after you watch, answer the questions in the attached form.

OPTIONAL: Find a way to REUSE plastic in your own home! Maybe you can make something from the Mystery Science video, or maybe you have your own idea. Send me a picture of your completed project!

Good morning 5th Grade!

Did you know that this Wednesday, April 22, is Earth Day? AND that Friday, April 24th, is Arbor Day? What a week to be in science class!

TODAY, you will learn some important vocabulary terms related to Earth Day. Some of these terms you should already be familiar with, but I am sure you will be able to expand your definitions of each term!

Follow the directions in the assignment below. Be sure to watch the video clips when prompted!

After watching, reading, and/or studying each source, record your findings in the table on Page 7.

Then, use the information you gathered to explain what climate is, what weather is, and how they are different. When you integrate all the information to write your explanation, you should be writing complete sentences!

This should be completed over 3 days!
-Monday: Complete 2-3 tasks (and those notes)
-Tuesday: Finish the rest of the tasks (and notes)
