1. Home Room SEL Monday August 26th
Focus Breathing: (1 minute)
• Sit up straight
• Feet firmly planted on the floor
• Hands relaxed on your legs
• Take one deep breath in
• One deep breath out
• Take another deep breath in
• And another deep breath out • (Repeat as needed/desired)

2. SEL Champs C=0 when teacher speaks and provides instruction H= none
A=Don’t crack a smile
M= Getting in a circle
P= Looks like students getting into a circle and waiting for the teacher to provide instruction. If teacher raises hand remain at a conversation zero.
S=Check for success

3. Activity Group Activity: (20 minutes) Mrs. Marbles
1. The point is to pass a simple message around the circle without showing your teeth (as if your mouth is full of marbles)
2. First participant says to the one on the left, “Hi! Have you seen Mrs. Marbles?” That participant responds, “No I haven’t but let me ask my neighbor!” The process is repeated around the circle
3. When someone smiles or laughs, the questioning stops briefly and begins again with the person who laughed
4. The activity continues until the message gets around the circle without interruption of smiling or laughing
Adaptations: One person is “it” and stands in center of the circle. It approaches each circle participant with the same question. It can add body gestures to provoke or laughing. Notes: Good for relieving group tension

4. Conversation and debrief
C=0 when teacher speaks and provides instruction level 2 with partner
H= partner
A=Discussion
M= Stand up, hands up and pair up
P= Looks like students pairing up and waiting for teacher to present questions. Student with the longest hair will go first
S=Check for success

5. Debrief Questions Turn and Talk as you answer the below questions.

9. Bell work on New Sheet of Paper August 25
Cindy predicts that plastic foam insulates cold drinks better than metal or ceramic materials do. To test the hypothesis, she fills cups made from these materials with equal amounts of cold water. She records the temperature of the water in each cup, using scientific thermometers, every 10 minutes until the water reaches room temperature. Which of these conditions must be the same for this experiment to be valid?
A. the thermometer that is in each cup
B. the starting temperature of the water in each cup
C. the ending temperature of the water in each cup
D. the material that makes up each cup

10. Objective Today I will take a safety test and identify variables
So that I can (1) measure my gains regarding lab safety (2) Explain the difference between independent, dependent and control.
I know I have it when I have scored a 70 percent or higher and completed my handout with 100 percent accuracy.

11. Monday August 25th Test Set UP
C=0
H=none
A= Safety Test
M=none
P= (1) Write your name on your scantron and bubble in 000 then I.D. Number.
(2) Set your folders up and wait quietly as I pass out Safety Test.
(3) When you are finished raise your hand and I will collect your safety test.
S= 70 percent or higher

12. Identifying Variable Worksheet (Don’t write on paper)
C= 0 when teacher speaks and level 2 with a partner
H= partner
A= Identifying variables
M=none
P= Rally Coach (1) partner (A) solves and explains to partner (B) will watch, listen, coach, check and praise. (2) (B) will solve and explain to partner (A) will watch, listen, coach, check and praise. Continue back in forth until done.

13. Let’s Practice
For the following experiments, define the IV (independent variable), DV (dependent variable), and CG (control group).
1. Different rose bushes are grown in a greenhouse for two months. The number of flowers on each bush is counted at the end of the experiment.
IV Different rose bushes
DV The number of flowers on each bush

14. 2. You water three sunflower plants with salt water
2. You water three sunflower plants with salt water. Each plant receives a different concentration of salt solutions. A fourth plant receives pure water. After a two-week period, the height is measured.
IV Each plant receives a different concentration of salt solutions
DV A fourth plant receives pure water.
CG height is measured

15. 3. Three redwood trees are kept at different humidity levels inside a greenhouse for 12 weeks. One tree is left outside in normal conditions. The heights of the trees are measured once a week.
IV Three redwood trees are kept at different humidity levels inside a greenhouse
DV One tree is left outside in normal conditions
CG The heights of the trees are measured once a week

16. 4. Pea plant clones are giving different amounts of water for three-week period. The first pea plant receives 400 milliliters a day. The second pea plant receives 200 milliliters a day. The third pea plant receives 100 milliliters a day. The fourth pea plant does not receive any extra water: the plant only receives natural ways of receiving water. The heights of the pea plants are recorded daily.
IV Pea plant clones are giving different amounts of water for three-week period
DV The fourth pea plant does not receive any extra water:
CG The heights of the pea plants are recorded daily.

17. 5. One tank of gold fish is fed the normal amount of food once a day
5. One tank of gold fish is fed the normal amount of food once a day. A second tank is fed twice a day. A third tank is fed four times a day during a six week study. The fish’s weight is recoded daily.
IV Fish fed different amounts of food
DV One tank of gold fish is fed the normal amount of food once a day
CG The fish’s weight is recoded daily.

18. 6. You decide to clean the bathroom
6. You decide to clean the bathroom. You notice that the shower is covered in a strange green slime. You try to get rid of this slime by adding lemonade juice. You spray half of the shower with lemonade juice and spray the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of spraying equal amounts 3 times a day, there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

CG shower side with water

19. 7. You decide to clean your bedroom
7. You decide to clean your bedroom. You notice that your floor is covered with clothes. You try to get rid of the clothes by throwing them into the air. You throw clothes from 1/3 of the room into the closet and a second 1/3 of the room straight up in the air. The last 1/3 of the room you leave the clothes on the floor. After 30 minutes of “cleaning” the floor of the room is now visible.
IV Different ways of getting rid of clothes
DV the amount of visible clothes seen in bedroom
CG clothes left on the floor

20. You want to test which size of soccer ball is easiest to juggle with your feet. You test a size 3, size 4, and size 5 ball. You count the seconds the ball stays in the air for each of the trials. You allow yourself to use both of your feet, knees, and head to juggle the ball.
IV Which size ball is easiest to juggle
DV amount of seconds ball stays in the air.

21. Exit slip
Renee rolls a steel ball down a ramp. She conducts multiple trials by releasing the ball from varying heights on the ramp. For each trial, she measures and records the release height of the ball and the distance the ball travels away from the ramp before falling to the ground. The figure below shows the experiment.
In this experiment, which variable is the dependent variable?
A. distance traveled by the ball
B. path of ball once it leaves the ramp
C. height from which the ball is released
D. time is takes the ball to hit the ground

22. Matching Challenge C= 2 with group H= group A= Matching Review M= none
