8/27/2013 Daily Objective 7.4, 7.4B: We will learn about science safety and look at the safety contract. Wrap Up: Why is it important to know safety symbols in the classroom?

8/27/2013 This is what your first warm up should look like:

SKIP ONE LINE THEN WRITE THIS DATE AND OBJECTIVE 8/28/2013 Daily Objective 7.4: We will design safety symbols and review safety equipment. Wrap Up: Write down the safety rule that you think is the most important and give one reason.

8/28/2013 This is what your warm up should look like now:

SKIP ONE LINE THEN WRITE THIS DATE AND OBJECTIVE. You can write on the back of the page. 8/29/2013 Daily Objective 7.4: We will identify different lab equipment and how to use it safely. Wrap Up: If you are working in a lab, why is it important to use the right equipment for the experiment?

8/30/2013 Daily Objective: COUNSELOR LESSON Syllabus and Safety Contract are DUE! Turn your spiral in to my desk. Wrap Up: None

START A NEW PAGE. IT CAN BE ON THE FRONT OR BACK OF THE PAGE. 9/3/2013 Daily Objective 7.4A, 7.5A : We will learn that radiant energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Wrap Up: Why is photosynthesis necessary to sustain life on Earth?

9/4/2013 Daily Objective 7.1A, 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5A: We will look at chlorophyll and other plant pigments. Turn in your signed grade sheet Wrap Up: What happens to the pigments in leaves when they change color in the fall and winter?

9/5/2013 Daily Objective 7.1A, 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5A : We will investigate leaf structures that are necessary for photosynthesis and look at microscope parts. Wrap Up: During a drought, plants need to keep in as much water as possible. Do you think their stomata are open or closed?

9/6/2013 Daily Objective 7.4A, 7.5A: We will demonstrate what we have learned about photosynthesis. Wrap Up: What would happen if the process of photosynthesis stopped?

9/9/2013 Daily Objective 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5A: We will learn about energy cycles by setting up a compost column. Wrap Up: What do you predict will happen to the biomass in the compost column?

9/10/2013 Daily Objective 7.5: We will explain the cycling of matter and diagram food chains, webs and pyramids. Turn in your signed grade sheets. Wrap Up: How does energy get transferred from one level to another in an ecosystem?

9/11/2013 Daily Objective 7.5: We will identify producers and consumers and diagram the flow of energy through food webs. Wrap Up: How are food webs different from food chains?

9/12/2013 Daily Objective 7.5: We will diagram the flow of energy through pyramids and food webs. Wrap Up: When living things die, or we throw away food, what happens to the energy trapped in that matter?

9/13/2013 Daily Objective: We will organize and turn in our science binders for a quiz grade. Wrap Up: Do you think keeping a binder will help you this year?

9/16/2013 Daily Objective 7.1A, 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5B, C: We will demonstrate the decrease in available energy in an ecosystem Wrap Up: What happens to most of the energy in a living organism when it dies or is eaten?

9/17/2013 Daily Objective 7.5B, C: We will diagram the flow of energy through living systems including food chains, webs, and pyramids. Turn in signed grade sheets Wrap Up: Why are decomposers so important for any ecosystem?

9/18/2013 Daily Objective 7.5B, C: We will diagram the flow of energy through living systems including food chains, webs, and pyramids. Wrap Up: Describe how a secondary consumer is dependent on the sun for its energy?

9/19/2013 Daily Objective 7.5B, C: We will learn about forces that affect motion in plants and animals. Wrap Up: List at least three different forces that can act on a plant.

9/20/2013 Daily Objective 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.7: We will demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in plants. Wrap Up: If a force acting on a plant causes motion, is work being done?

9/23/2013 Daily Objective 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.7: We will demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in plants. Wrap Up: List one interesting thing you discovered from the plant labs.

9/24/2013 Daily Objective 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.7: We will demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in plants. Wrap Up: Diagram how you think a plant would grow if it were kept upside down.

9/25/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will learn about the science definition of work. Wrap Up: If you hold a weight over your head for 2 hours without the weight moving, are you doing work?

9/26/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will compare the amount of work done by moving an object with and without a ramp. Wrap Up: If you had to push a heavy object up a ramp, would you rather have a long or short ramp?

9/27/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will compare situations in which work is or is not done using cartoons. Wrap Up: Does applying a force always cause an object to move?

9/30/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will complete situations in which work is or is not done using cartoons. Wrap Up: If there is force but no movement, is work done?

10/1/2013 Daily Objective 7.5, 7.7: We will review what we have learned about energy flow and work. Wrap Up: Did the binder help you on the review?

10/2/2013 Daily Objective : Make sure your binder has been turned in. Wrap Up: My binder has helped me in science by_______
