5th Grade Science (Period 5A)

Posts

Class Dojo

Make sure we are all on Class dojo! I post a lot more assignments and updates on class dojo because most families are and it is easier to reach out there. 
 
We have been sending invites to everyone just in case you did not. Please contact me: [email protected] if you did not get an invite over the past few weeks when we've sent them out. 

Human Systems Test

Make sure we are reviewing out human system notes (skeletal, muscular, and nervous). The assessment will be next week. 

Cell Structure and Division Test on Friday

5A and 5B will have a Cell structure and Division test on Friday!
There will be a review guide going out to them. 
 
I am breaking their tests up so they do not have as much information for each one. Instead of having a few BIG tests, I'm going to have many smaller tests.

Lab Equipment Test Reminder (40 points)

Hello Everyone!
 
There will be a lab equipment test on Monday, August 19th for Sections 7B, 6A, 6B, 6C, 5A, and 5B! Section 7A will take it on Thursday, August 22nd! It is 40 points
 
There will be a few questions about the scientific process that we are covering this week too. I will not have as many questions on that topic because it is newer material. 
 
Test is multiple choice, some labeling, and some short answer. If students would like, I can make a review worksheet. 

Fossil Picture Inquiry Activity

This the the document the classes looked at for their fossil observation activity. Students are to observe the fossils and determine what animal they think it is. They had to support their thought based on the fossil features like, tail, limbs, head, teeth, shape, bone structure, and more. Groups then tried to determine what the animal ate, where it lived, and even how it moved based on their observations. 
 
This activity is used to introduce how important observations are instead of inferences. We use prior knowledge to help guide us but observing in detail is very important. 
 
This is posted for those students that missed class on Monday, August 12th. If you missed class, please write down on a piece of paper what animal you think it is (explain why based on the fossil features), what you think it eats(explain based on fossil features you see), where it lives (explain), and even how it might move around (explain). 

Lab Safety Contract (5points)

Lab Safety Contract MUST be signed by Friday August 9th. Students that do not have a signed contract WILL NOT be able to participate as this is a state requirement. Everyone must turn in a signed contract. For each day the assignment is late, students will lost 10% from their score. 

Lab Safety Test (30points)

There will be a lab safety test on Thursday August 8th! There will be 30 multiple choice questions. Please student the safety contract and the lab stations activity. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out for help! I will provide review for Bell work.
