Students learned in class about the science behind analyzing fingerprints, especially with the patterns that show up. Arches, loops, and whorls make up the three major categories that each finger can display and each student made prints for each digit and identified them. The notes are in their lab notebook and examples of prints from [...]
May 14/15th – HW – CO2 and You Recording Data / Fingerprint Challenge
In class students set up a Google document that they will use to record data for how much their family is participating in the plan to reduce CO2 emissions. Since each family chose one solution that they would like to try, the students will record data from now until June 4th. Data can mean recording [...]
May 11th – HW – CO2 and You Family Agreement
For Friday, students took their 3 solutions that they thought would work for ways to reduce CO2 emissions and received feedback from peers and Jon. Now they will need to take those solutions and present them to their family this weekend and come to an agreement on which one they will work on. Parents need [...]
May 9/10th – HW – CO2 and You Step 1 and 2
Students are investigating possible solutions to helping reduce the amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere. In Step 1 and Step 2, students will identify the problem and 3 possible solutions that their family could use for it. CO2 and You Step 1 and 2 Possible solutions (links to web resources): Time Magazine (What [...]
May 7/8th – HW – Family Carbon Emission Test
Students will go through the online calculator for carbon emission with their family and print out the summary sheet as proof of completing the homework. Emissions Calculator
