Since we have covered the three NGSS Units that we are covering this year, for the remainder of the year we will be doing supplemental activities that may or may not be structured like typical NGSS assessments.
I will be posting these agendas here in this one post with a brief desciption of the aim for the assignments, updating as we go.
Week 26 Marine Plastics and Plastic Chemistry Week
- For this series of assignments I wanted to continue on from their capstone projects, looking at resource consumption. I also wanted to bring back in some chemistry as a review for the CAST and for the students to refresh on for high school science.
Week 27 Finishing Plastics and Video Project
- For this assignment I wanted them to sort of review material from the year or work on answering a science question that interested them, but was never covered in class. So the aim is both to give them support in researching an interesting topic and somewhat indirectly review the material from the year.
Week 28 Finishing Video Project
Week 29 Cast Review
Week 30 Cast Testing and Bio Activity
- For this week I am bringing in some biology material with a simple engineering challenge. The students will be designing beaks that could be used to pick up rice and beans.
Week 31 Bio Activity
- This week they'll be testing out their beak designs and then we will move onto an inquiry topic about the structure of DNA.
Week 32 Bio Activity and Random
- This week will have the students finishing with DNA and then has some random activities and challenges built in. The schedule can be somewhat unpredictable and the students will not have iPads this week.
