DId you finish your homework?

Students were to read pages C46-C51 in their science textbooks and answer the five questions along with writing a poem about mutualism... Make sure you get this into me tomorrow if you didn't finish.

MEAP MEAP

Whew... Finally we have closed the books on the MEAP test. Students seemed to have done their best, which is all we can ask of them. "Write what you know." We can get things back to normal around here now. Remember to check your kids for homework! They can't use the MEAP test as an excuse for not having any. :)

Thanks Jessica for editing my work here... :)

Building an Ecosystem

Students began working on building a class ecosystem by role playing different organisms that will live there. Students will debate in the next couple days which important changes should be made to our ecosystem to keep it healthy and balanced...

MI GLCE- L.EC.06.11 List examples of populations, communities, and ecosystems including the Great Lakes region.

Science Hangman Site

Students really enjoyed playing the science hangman game in class yesterday. If you click on this link it will allow you to play against your friends or parents...
Guess the correct science vocabulary word....



Click here hangman

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Producers, Consumers, Decomposers

Here are the Michigan GLCES that we have been learning more about this past week.


L.OL.06.51 Classify organisms (producers, consumers, and
decomposers) based on their source of energy for growth and development.
L.OL.06.52 Distinguish between the ways in which consumers and
decomposers obtain energy.

Click on the link to play a classification game and learn more about the energy pyramid and producers, consumers, and decomposers...

Play the game here.... Classification

Homework question!!!!

Leave a comment for your homework...

As we look at classification, we are left pondering how we are affected when certain organisms are placed on the endangered species list. Find an animal on the endangered species list and find what it eats. How long has it been on the list? No student should have the same organism chosen. Click on this link to view the list, then research what it eats...

Endangered List in MI

List the organism, what it eats, where it can be found...

Homework!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tonight...

Science homework for tonight!!

Students read an article on Bloodsuckers in class today. The assignment was for the students to write a comparison paper on all the animals that were mentioned in the article. Keep in mind the questions, Where can we find them? What characteristics do they have? What type of animals do they feed on?.

Students must compile the information in a comparison paper. COMPLETE PARAGRAPHS AND SENTENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This paper is due at the beginning of class tomorrow.
