Science Trees and Forest project due Nov 26
Beddington Heights School is supporting the city of Calgary Mayor's Food Drive, along with WE Scare Hunger! We are accepting monetary ($$) donations in the office, and non-perishable food donations. The pick up date is Dec 10th, let's fill up those boxes and help those in need!
Yesterday the students began their day a bit out the norm. From now until the holiday concert students will have extended music in order to give them time to fully practice as a band.
During the middle block of the day students were given time to write a rhyming reflection that explained one thing they learned from poetry but in a rhyme.
Students were given a large chunk today to work on their science projects and mathletics. It was their choice as to which one they wanted to work on first.
As a method of keeping students accountable for their homework I told students that if they did not finish their spelling sentences they had to finish it before they could work on their projects or mathletics.
In Science, we are starting our end of unit project on Tress and Forests.
I have explained the project today in class.
Attached you will find the expectations and task outline and a model slide (level 4).
In class, we will provide about 1hour a day for research and note-taking time this week.
Students are welcome to use our laptops and create a slide-show.
The due date will be November 26th and determine part of their report card mark in Science.
Science:
Inquiry Research project on Alberta's Trees, leaves and forest issues.
Some popular trees being researched in class are:
Coniferous: Lodgepole Pine, Black Spruce, Douglas Fir, White Pine, Jack Pine, Larch
Deciduous: Green Ash, Aspen & Balsam Poplar, Birch, Manitoba Maple, Bur Oak
Students are comparing tree size and growth, type, shape and margin of leaves, structure of bark and as extension: use of wood & fruits.
Useful Links for further research!
