Welcome back! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today we are going to examine that 'extra' sense of magnetoreception that dogs have--and look to see if there are other animals out there that use senses that humans do not have.

This week, take a 'gander' at the Science World article, 'Canine Compass'. Read the article and complete the activity and questions related to it. Remember to respond using complete sentences! This assignment will be due on FRIDAY, January 15, 2021.

Today, we will complete the 'Science Video Journal' in your digital notebook and the INB slides for your notes. If you are unsure of any questions--let your fingers do the walking! You are on one of the greatest devices around for discovering information--use it to help you!!!

Today we will continue learning about the mechanism that causes our continents to move! Please remember to complete your assignment and submit before the end of the day!

Today we will begin our study of Plate Tectonics and examine how the theory of continental drift fits into it. To start today, we will complete an EdPuzzle from the Discovery Channel movie, '100 Greatest Earth Science Discoveries'. When that is completed, we will roll into plate tectonics by completing the WATCH IT & READ IT stations.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a Science World article, 'Canine Compass', reading and response activity that will be due on Friday. You will find the assignment under the title SCIENCE WORLD. At any time this week, if you finish what we are working on during class, you may work on that assignment.

Today we will finish our review and note-taking of 'Continental Drift' theory and Alfred Wegener. We will play a game of Gimkit to help review the concept of Continental Drift to reinforce Wegener's theory and prepare us for tomorrow's activity!

Today we will use what we have learned about Alfred Wegener and Continental Drift and create song lyrics to a song of your choice that tells everyone else all about it!

If you would like to make a video of your song for extra credit, there is a Flipgrid link as well.

Today we will continue to look at Continental Drift, 'Explore It, Organize It and Watch It'.....we will not have the 'Science Speaks' today as we will instead take a look at CNN10.

Today we will begin looking at the Earth's crust and how it has changed over time. We will begin with continental drift, using the Read It, Research It and Watch It stations.
To start today, please copy the term of the week in your digital science notebook. By the end of class today, you should complete and turn in your completed input stations.

**For some reason, the information slide for Research It! was deleted. I added it separately below.

Today we will begin with a short video clip of last night's 'Great Conjunction' of Saturn and Jupiter. We will then work on our observational skills with a short game of STARE. From there, we will continue our Escape Room Challenge, picking up in the activity where you left off! If you have already completed and submitted Puzzles #1-6, below you will find Puzzle #7 & #8 to work on. Good luck!

Click the link attached to join the assignment.

Today we will continue with our 'Winter Wonderland Escape Room', working on puzzles #4-6. If you didn't figure out the all of the codes from Friday's puzzles, #1-3, you will begin there and then jump in to #4 today. If you have not finished your 'Density Lab Stations' from last week, you will begin class today finishing them, and then jumping into the puzzles.

Today, we reviewed what density means and how it is calculated. We tried the virtual density escape room, 'Locked in School & It's Winter Break'. Then, we started working on the first few puzzles of the 'Winter Wonderland' Escape Room.

Today we will explore the density of irregular objects through the Research It station work (be sure to turn it in when you finish). If you finish before our Meet ends, follow the link below to visit and play the virtual Escape Room: Trapped in School and It's Winter Break!

Today we will take a look at density (the amount of matter in an object divided by the amount of space that object takes up; D=mass/volume) of IRREGULAR objects. Be sure to complete today's assignment by the end of the day and turn it in for credit. If you finish before class begins, you may practice density with the link posted yesterday or you may play the 'Legends of Learning' Ocean Currents playlist.

Good morning, our little chickadees! Today A group is in person while B & C group will be joining us from home. We will start with our 'Term of the Week', move in to our next topic of study, 'Density of Regular Objects' and, if time permits, catch CNN10 this morning.

Together we will work through the Explore It section...then, you will work on the Research It and Organize It stations independently. Be sure to turn your work in when you are done.

Today, we took a look at the "Joke of the Week", a glimpse of CNN10 and a fun-stem challenge: making two different origami creations!
Please make sure you have completed slide 2 of your STEM CHALLENGE: Origami Creation, created 2 DIFFERENT origami selections and uploaded your video of them on Flipgrid below.

Good morning! Today we will examine how convection currents and density affect ocean currents through EdPuzzle. After that, we will work on completing our 'All About the Ocean' scavenger hunt that we started yesterday. When you complete the Scavenger Hunt, we will work on a 'Legends of Learning' playlist about ocean currents.

We will be working on the 'Ocean Scavenger Hunt' in class today and tomorrow.

Copy the 'Joke of the Week' in your digital notebook. Then, try and guess the punchline.

Today, you will work on completing 'Oceans: INPUT: Research It and Explore It!' stations. Please be sure to complete the work and turn it in at the end of the day.

Today, we will investigate our oceans and the impact we have upon it and the creatures that live in it. We will start with two of the input stations, WATCH IT! & READ IT!

Ah, how good are your problem-solving skills? Were you able to build a paper airplane that flew far? Did you challenge yourself with one of the more difficult airplanes? Today, we are going to tackle another challenge--building a musical instrument!

Today we will be doing the PAPER AIRPLANE STEM CHALLENGE. You can choose any paper airplane you wish to make--challenge yourself and do something more difficult than the basic average paper airplane! Record your design, materials and how far it travels on your design sheet. Take a video of your airplane flying and upload it to Flipgrid, using the link on your assignment page.
