JHW Inspire Academy - Rockdale
2nd Six Weeks
Science - Dr. Forsyth
Over the second six-weeks we continued our whirlwind of activity in science! We studied photosynthesis and cellular respiration and explored the chemistry of those reactions using Skittles as atoms. We distinguished among elements, compounds, and mixtures and represented these categories using beads and Monkey String. We examined the cell cycle and cellular reproduction, and DNA replication and protein synthesis. Lastly, we explored motion and force by calculating distance, time, and speed, reading and interpreting distance-time graphs, and building our own catapults.
Math - Mr. Pantaleon
This six weeks we learned about Linear Functions. The students were able to identify functions from tables, graphs, ordered pairs and mapping. They also learned how to calculate the slope from two points and when given a graph.
In addition, students diligently worked on an online tutoring program called Edgenuity MyPath. Students take an initial assessment and are provided lessons and activities tailored to their individual needs for math improvement. Students are demonstrating marked progress as a result of their hard work.
