Mystery 7: What's the best way to get rid of mosquitos?
In this Mystery, students investigated mosquito life cycles and habitats and discover the role of mosquitoes in carrying diseases such as malaria. Students needed to come up with different solutions for to help a town deal with an abundance of mosquitoes resulting form a very rainy summer.
Expectations:
Students are expected to do one lesson everyday. They watch the teacher recorded video and fill out their science packet as they watch the video. It is very important that students are completing the assignment and filling out their packet because they are allowed to use the packet and Mystery Science video when taking the Quiz on Day 4. Assignments are always posted on Sparks of Science Team and students need to take accountability for completing their work during this independent work time.
Assignment Notebook
Students should be writing down their daily assignments in their assignment notebook. That way, parents can check the assignment notebook to make sure your student is keeping up with the assigned work. Any work that is not completed during the day is homework and students can check off the completed work as they are going along in their assignment notebook. I have also been posting pictures of the assignment notebook in Teams on my Homeroom Team. You can find it in the "files" tab at the top. I have been posting pictures so that parents know how I am writing down and keeping tracking of assignments and that your student is writing down the same thing. I give students many reminders and opportunities to write down and complete work. Please make sure you are checking your child's assignment notebook every night
