Video of the Day: Water Cycle by The Bazillions
Grade 7 Agenda:
Homework:
Quiz: Water Cycle and Systems tomorrow
Do Now:
Take a copy of the DIAGRAM below.
identify names for processes that occur in this cycle
label location(s) where you think they occur
Lesson:
You will be assigned one of the colored boundaries in the diagram shown below.
get into your color group
create a system sketch base don your assigned boundary
add inputs, processes, outputs to your diagram
Use the WORD-BANK below
terms may be used or not used as many times as needed
condensation evaporation convection (energy) groundwater flow
precipitation radiation (energy) raindrop growth raindrops
root absorption runoff stream-flow transpiration
water droplets water vapor
Extensions:
Identify and discuss 3 states of water in the water cycle - solid, liquid gas
Identify and discuss changes of state - liquid to vapor, vapor to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to liquid
Identify and discuss changes in energy
evaporation (absorbs)
condensation (releases)
transpiration (absorbs)
WIN:
Soc-emo survey
Grade 8 agenda:
Homework:
Make five data tables in your science notebook identical to the one below for each of five offspring.
Do Now:
Get out your folders.
Place your finished critters and chromosomes on the table for a check please.
Lesson:
Finish chromosome construction per these instructions
Color both sides on your chromosome models as instructed on the chromosome sheet.
Label each gene with the alleles (genotype) you determine from your critter’s phenotype. Write this on the back (the side without the trait label). Also write your initials on this side so you can identify it if it gets mixed up.
Cut the chromosomes into genes (colored bands). You should have two genes of identical color (one from each chromosome).
For the sex chromosomes, keep the whole chromosome in a single piece.
