Quia Wordstudy List #13....
3 Puck Chuck...
As you know-- we are studying Forces and Motion in Science. I found a great game called, 3-puck Chuck, that involves the physics of motion with an interactive game.
Hmm....
Thinking.....
Thinking.....
I know!!!
Create a rivalry!!
I had students draw a mural on the whiteboard during BCO dedicated to Logan playing Roni tomorrow (along with everyone else) in the computer lab.
It created an atmosphere akin to this:
Yep...I think its safe to say-- there's interest.
Newton's Laws of Motion Lab...
Before the test I gave each group a tub filled with odds and ends. I would put up one of the Newton Laws of Motion on the screen and groups had to collectively, brainstorm, and then demonstrate what that law looks like.

Superheo Nicknames....
The other day we did a write chat in Science. I ask them 3 content-related questions and 1 silly question. They all write them down on a big sheet of paper and then circulate and comment on each others answers.
My question the other day was: What is your superhero name and what are your super powers?
I'd like to share some names with you..

Miah: Dry Ice Woman
Conner: The Metamorph.
Gage: Web Guy (to which Cayla replied "Superman would sue you!!"
Lilly: Magic Mind

This one made me laugh the most...
Alexander Spohn's superhero name is.....Alexander Spohn (I always tell Alex that his name sounds like either a super hero or a villain)

We talked about paragraphs because they still struggle with writing god ones. I showed them a powerpoint and modeled how to write one.
Math I:
Math Lab on how to represent fractions on a hundredths graph.
Math II:
We did Investigation 4.4: Changing Forms.
Students had to be able to convert between fractions, percents and decimals.
That's all for Investigation 4, and that is all for Bits and Pieces...We will be taking the Bits and Pieces Unit Test on Friday.
