Tuesday October 27, 2015 Planner: – HW: Finish Monocot and Dicot Lab You Need: – Today: Daily 5 To Do: – Pick up the handout at the front of the class. – Quietly read the directions – A’s bring me your (not your table)notebooks please

Learning Target We will observe, draw, label and reflect on the structure and function of plants.

Monocot and Dicot Lab Front Page of Lab 1.Alstroemeria 2. Radish 3. Leek 4. Green Onion Back Page of Lab 5. Swiss Chard 6. Carrot 7. Tulip 8.Parsley

Monocot and Dicot Lab 8 stations - on each side of the class Tables 1-4 will use one green stations Tables 5-8 will use orange stations

Monocot and Dicot Lab At each station - sketch plant - focus on leaves, stem, flower and/or root Be thinking “how can I tell if it is a monocot or dicot plant?

Directions for Stations/Change A/B partners will move together - but individual work C/D partners will work together Listen for start point for your group - then move to the NEXT number 1 goes to 2, 3 goes to 4 and 8 comes back to 1

REMINDER HW: Finish Monocot and Dicot Lab to hand in tomorrow! When dismissed please push in your chair and use EXIT door!

Wednesday October 28, 2015 Planner: – HW: Complete Lesson 5 You Need: – Today: Daily 5 To Do: – Turn in your monocot and dicot lab to the INBOX – Pick up the handout at the front of the class. – trim and tape the knowledge map into your notebook ( like a book, 2 pieces tape) into page 5

Learning Target We will observe, draw, label and reflect on the structure and function of plants.

4 5

Knowledge Map 137 Questions - this is the information you should know at the end of 6th grade science Every Wednesday - Learning Check (like a quiz)on 15 random questions from map You will track your progress - p. 4 of NB I will track the class progress - on the door

Let’s Finish Lesson 5

Bean and Corn Observation p. 11 Day 10 Day 18 Label any of the following that you see: cotyledons, roots, stem and leaves on each of the 2 plants

Compare and Contrast these Structures p. 12

Thursday October 29, 2015 Planner: – HW: Test next Friday on Lessons #1-5 and 9 – ALL LATE work due by Thursday You Need: – Today: Daily 5 To Do: – What are the living things in your pond? What are the non living things? ( write your thoughts on NB page #23 under your Lesson 4)

Learning Target We will predict, observe, draw, label, and reflect on changes over time to a model pond ecosystem.

Page 3 - Day 16 Count and note how many Lemna you see? Label all the pond ingredients and use a ruler to show where each is located

Pond Observation - Micro C’s get pond from back of room for your table everyone else - to stations and set-up You will take one drop of pond water - using the pipette and place it into a depression slide. You will take a second drop of water and make a 2nd depression slide. 2 microscopes. Look for any organisms and draw any you see - 2 drawings on medium

Micro - TIPS for SUCCESS Adjust the diaphragm of microscope - less light! Start on low and scan for organisms - move to medium power when you see movement 2 samples and try to get at least one sample from down lower in your pond (near rice)

Pond Observation - Micro A’s responsible for cleaning (rinse in water) the slides and pipette and putting back in bin B’s responsible for putting microscope away

Pond Observation - Macro This is day 16 Count the number of lemna “fronds” you see Draw a detailed picture of your pond - label all the ingredients (even new ones you see) using a ruler

Ponds “D’s” return ponds to windowsill and loosen cover On page 22, under last week’s notes, reflect and write about what changed since your last pond observation - this will help you with the “pond paper assignment” at the end of the lesson

Correct Lesson 4 Reading Excuse Me But…... Lesson 4 on p. 5 - from the beginning of the lesson
