Science Times
By: Mr. Kottkey (Issue #16)
Announcements
Last week in science, we started the mitosis unit (INB pages 54, 55, and 56.) We will finish up page 56 on Monday. My plan is to collect INBs at the beginning of class Tuesday and give them credit for those pages. This week we will continue Mitosis and complete INB pages up through page 59.
If the kids use their class time wisely this week, there should not be much homework. I would appreciate it if parents would take a look through and discuss the last 10-15 pages (up through pg 56) of their INBs with their kids. . Remember, I will take any missing work/make-up work/ or corrections up through January 22.
Reminder: the planner, text book pages, instructional videos, handouts, and copies of the notes can also be found on my website.
How to study:
1. Teach someone else the concepts
2. Go through the textbook paragraph by paragraph with sticky notes
3. Look at the questions in the text book (at the end of each section and chapter)
4. Repetition of your Cornell notes
5. Re-watch the instructional videos
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!
