Gradebook Update
Hi science families,
Thank you for your patience as I enter grades for this quarter. For my classroom policy, I allow students 2 weeks to turn in missing work or fix their work after I enter it in the gradebook. If they are missing an assignment, please encourage them to turn it in or get a blank copy to complete the work!
Please reach out with any questions and have a great weekend!
7th Science 1/22-1/26
Hello Science families!
We have officially began our new unit of Heredity and your students are loving it! I am hoping they came home talking about the traits that they have that you may or may not have (like being able to roll your tongue!). This week, we will be:
- Review Punnett squares
- Create their own monster with its own alleles, genotypes and phenotype
- Create a “baby” monster with a partner using the genotypes that each of their monsters have (practicing looking for genotypes and determining traits with the Punnett square)
- Take a quiz on Mendelian Genetics (traits, genotypes, phenotypes, Punnett Squares)
As always, please reach out with any questions and have a great week!
7th science 1/8 - 1/12
Welcome back!
I hope you had a restful break! We will finish our Energenics unit. We were unable to finish it before break since I came down with covid. This week we will:
- Review classroom routines and procedures
- Have a lesson with Ms. Charlie about trophic pyramids and complete a fun activity
- Complete their individual ecosystem trophic pyramid
Please reach out with any questions or concerns and have a great week!
7th Grade Science 11/27 - 12/1
Hello science families!
I hope you had a great week! In science, we are starting a new unit that we should be able to finish before winter break. We are starting our Energy Flow unit where we will learn about photosynthesis, how energy flows through an ecosystem and trophic pyramids. This week, we will:
- Complete a photosynthesis QR quest
- Complete notes
- Review with an activity
- Complete a quiz
As a reminder, students are able to complete test corrections for our Cells Unit and turn them in to me by this Friday (12/1). Please reach out with any questions or concerns and have a great week!
Test Corrections
- put the question number
- record their original answer
- record the correct answer
- give a 2-3 sentence explaining why it is the correct answer
7th Grade Science 11/6-11/10
- Finish our cell cycle notes
- Create a cell cycle paper plate note keeper
- Determine why and how cancer is formed
- Learn about cell regulation
7th Grade Science - 10/30 - 11/3
- Monday -Review cellular transportation and the cell membrane and then take an informal "quiz" (will be graded as an assignment, not assessment)
- Tuesday morning - pumpkin catapult; Tuesday afternoon - none (Halloween party)
- Wednesday - Cell Cycle Click and Learn (the afternoon class will be split into other classes as my advocacy will be going on a walking field trip to get our advocacy class pet)
- Thursday and Friday - Cell Cycle notes and practice
7th Grade Science 10/23-10/27
Hello 7th grade science families!
I hope you had a great week. This past Tuesday I unexpectedly lost my cat, and I was out on Tuesday and Wednesday. Because of this, we are about a day behind than what I planned but I know we can get caught up! I appreciate your patience as I get caught up on grades as well. This week, we will:
- Review cell membrane
- Determine how cells move materials in and out of the cell
- Learn how osmosis works and complete a virtual lab
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns. Have a great week!
7th grade science 10/16 - 10/20
Hello 7th grade science families!
Hope you all had a wonderful break and are ready for second quarter! We ended the quarter by completing a cell choice board activity and that will be the first grade in the gradebook. This week, we will:
- Understand why and how the leaves change colors
- Determine how the cell membrane works
- Understand the structure of the cell membrane
- Complete an interactive activity by defending the cell and creating their own cell membrane
Please reach out with any questions and have a great week!
7th grade science
- Research about an individual organelle to them teach their classmates
- Fill in a note catcher about 14 specific organelles
- Compare and contrast which organelles are in plant and animal cells
7th grade science 9/5 - 9/8
- Look at key vocabulary words for this unit
- Learn about cell theory
- Compare and contrast Prokaryotic Vs Eukaryotic Cells
7th Grade Science 8/21 - 8/25
- Life science prefixes and suffixes
- Characteristics of life
- Properties of water
7th Grade Science 8/14-8/18
- Start with a pre-assessment for everything they will learn this year. This will go into the gradebook but it will not affect their grade as it isn't weighted! This is just to be able to look at their growth.
- Review scientific method/ CER
- Began learning the Prefixes, Suffixes and Roots that we will need this year.
