Tuesday, 5/28/19- B Day- NGSS Schedule Periods 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6, & 7

Lesson Question:

How does friction influence the amount of force needed to move an object?

Learning Tasks:

1. Do Now– Get out your science notebook and add to the Table of Contents- “Friction Notes p.75 (Right Side). Head page 75 properly with “Friction-Notes from Reading-5/28/19.”
2. Video/Scientific Language Key Word/Notes– Watch “Expedition 3: Fundamental Forces” to meet Kobie Boykins, a mechanical engineer at NASA. Record the lesson question on ISNp.75: “How does friction influence the amount of force needed to move an object?” Set up ISN p.75 to record the definitions of the following scientific language keywords: force, net force, & friction. Record the same terms and page numbers in the Index in the back of your ISN. On ISN p.75, take notes on the reading.

Wednesday, 3/22/17- B Day- Practice CMT

Practice CMT is tomorrow during Period 7. You will test with your homeroom with a few exceptions. You will be dismissed tomorrow from Practice CMT at the end of Period 1 (9:09 am). 

To my students:

I will be absent from school today. I am at a workshop learning about NGSS, the new science standards. I look forward to bringing new ideas back to our classroom! In my absence, please remember to be respectful, be cooperative, and use self-control.

Kindly, Mrs. Vigliotti
