Greetings Rock Stars!
Today marks the end of the first quarter of College in the Class! You've all done a fine job growing as people and living your values more consistently. KEEP DOING THIS AND WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE!

In honor of the upcoming election and debates I give you the early release video of the week! You'll have 20 minutes to wrap up your Tycho Brahe questions, then we'll discuss and do community additions together. Crush it!
Scientists will be able to identify key information in the Tycho Brahe reading and record thoughts in their science journals. Hey All!
We're well into our study of astronomy and but we need more historical background on some key figures before we dive in more. With that, I give you Tycho Brahe. Today, we'll conduct a paired reading and take key notes. While you do that, I'll be grading your scale models of the solar system. Check the Forces in Space folder for the reading today. Scientists will read an article and take out key information to put into their science journals. Hey Scientists!
Today is the final day we'll be creating our scale models of the Solar System. By the end of class today, everyone's project will be graded and ready to hang in the hallway! Our next stop? Tycho Brahe, Galileo and the Moon! Hey Scientists!
Great job yesterday following the procedure to start creating your scale model of the solar system. Today we will create planets that are to-scale and add some detail to each of them. Work shopping on projects will be a great way to end the week! Work hard and crrruuushhh it! Scientists will create a scale model of the solar system. Greetings Scientists!
Now that we've built a little knowledge on the history of thought behind astronomy, it'll be a good time to realize how BIG and how small that our solar system actually is. Today, you and a college teammate will embark on a mission where you will create a scale model of the solar system. Scientists will create a scale model of the solar system. Hey Scientists! I can't believe that the best thinkers/observers for 1600 years thought that the Earth was in the center of the Universe... (It makes me feel pretty smart!) So, with that we'll be looking more deeply into heliocentric vs. geocentric thinking and the related astronomers for each theory. Scientists will be able to explain the difference between heliocentric vs. geocentric and identify related astronomers for each theory. Anyways... Happy early release day and here is the video of the week! (Enjoy Cassy!) Hey Guys!
Today we begin our unit on astronomy and physics! To start we really need to step outside of our own experience and put ourselves in the shoes of the early astronomers. So, first, lets get some background knowledge on cutting edge thought in early astronomy and move forward from there. I'm also going to start using the unit folder on the Science Ninja Website more for curriculum materials. Check Forces in Space folder for more information about today. Scientists will acquire background knowledge on the ideas of early astronomers and record college notes in their science journals. One last note... If you have not yet taken your energy /waves unit final, you must come see me during lunch of immediately after school today. Hey All!
Good luck on the unit test today! I hope you all prepared over the weekend! Make sure you read each question carefully and go through each option thoroughly. You all have worked very hard. Continue that pattern today! Best of Luck, Mr. V Scientists will apply knowledge of energy/waves on a unit exam. |
