6TH GRADE CHEETAHS 2015-2016
TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2016
MATH
Students will use their proportional reasoning skills to solve problems this week. We will scale down a soda can and a basketball to see what each would feel like if we had hands as big as Michael Jordan’s. We will also investigate a crime scene and create a wanted poster for a humongous giant – but first we must use proportions to determine his height!
Upcoming Due Dates
Problem Solving Set 16 due Friday 5/20
All Problem Solving Redos due Wednesday 5/25
SCIENCE
This week in Science, we will begin our ecosystems project. Students will choose a specific ecosystem that interests them and research all about it and present it in a creative form using technology. We will also be discussing how to diagram the levels of organization within each ecosystem.
Upcoming Dates
Science End of Course Exam (EOC) on Tuesday 5/24
