If you happen to see a Science text book around the house, please return them to me as soon as possible. Thanks!
Last week In Science we explored Newton's 3rd law. The students worked individually or in teams to demonstrate Newton's 3rd law. There were some pretty creative and unusual demonstrations. We had some hip checks, chest bumps, jello, scooters, trampolines, exploding water bottles, and many types of ball experiments showcased in the class. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction!
We ended the week with a quiz and started our Newton's law flip book (summative) due Tuesday 6/5 . The students are demonstrating their learning of all three laws in words and pictures. Then we are going to prepare for our last test (summative) Thursday 6/7. The students will be able to use a 3*5 card on the test.
How to study:
1. Teach someone else the concepts
2. Go through the text book paragraph by paragraph with sticky notes
3. Look at the questions in the text book (at the end of each section and chapter)
Pg. 89-91, Pg.119-121
4. Repetition of your Cornell notes
5. Watch the instructional videos again and look for something new
6. Explore more videos that pertain to the concepts
7. Make a practice test for study-buddy
8. Flash Cards
9. Create Mnemonic devices
10. Ask questions!
