Your Math lesson is posted on Google classroom to help you move through Chapter 1 - Lesson 8. The textbook pages are also posted on Google Classroom. Please remember to click onto the "Classwork" tab at the top of your Google classroom and you will find all of the pages are under the Math PDF section.

Science: 

1. Catch up on your science from last week if you are not finished. This means posting a Flipgrid showing the materials you are going to use for your final product.
2. Read the documents posted on Google Classroom. Pay close attention to the RUBRIC to ensure you are meeting all requirements and are demonstrating your understanding of how you can modify sound including volume and pitch.
3. Once you are done creating your original musical instrument, respond to the Flipgrid I have posted to demonstrate how it works. Remember you must show HOW it works, as well as how it makes different volumes and pitches.

Quick Versus Deep Thinking Questions

Remember our Quick versus Deep Thinking Questions!

Quick Questions about the picture:

• Is there a turtle in the picture?
• How many fish is there in the picture?
• Where is the picture being taken?
• Is the turtle swimming?
• What color is the coral?

Deep Thinking Questions - there is more than one right answer, and you have to use your deep thinking pose..

• What is the turtle doing?
• Swimming away from a shark
• Looking for something to eat
• Racing and playing with her/his friends
• Looking for somewhere to rest
• Who is taking the picture and why are they down there?
• Could be a submarine on a mission
• Maybe a scuba diver - could be a man or a woman!
• Maybe a robot with a camera

Our Deep thinking questions make it so we don't stop thinking.. once we answer part of the question, we continue to WONDER about the rest of what might be happening. A deep thinking question gets you to continue to think. Quick questions get you to answer quickly and then move on, sometime to something else!

Human Impacts on Habitats

Endangered Animals - Species at Risk

There are so many animals that are at risk of being extinct - which means they will no longer be living on Earth! These are what we call "endangered animals" because they are close to no longer being able to survive.
Here is a list of animals for your "Species at Risk" science page that you can research:

Watch the video below before you research your own endangered animal!
