This week we will present our Characteristics of Life posters that we worked on last week. The kids worked well last week, flipping through magazines finding acceptable and relevant pictures for their posters. In addition to the "science kowledge" part of the project, we also discussed what makes a poster presentation effective. I am eager to hear their presentations and how they have realized the similarities among living things.
This week we will do our first "real" science lab as we analyze the content of foods. If at all possible, please try not to be absent Thursday or Friday. This will be a lab that is difficult to complete at a later date without a group.
Plan for a test over this unit early next week. Some students need to begin the studying process now. There is a lot of information in this unit. Remember, the objective list (in each student's OneNote file) functions as the review sheet.
