UOI: Light and Sound

Language

Learning goal: Students will complete the final draft of their OWA report writing on snowy owls.

Students wrote their final draft today in class as practice for their OWA post-assessment tomorrow. Students reviewed their work using the writing checklist on the wall to ensure that all requirements were met.

Homework: Complete OWA final draft if not completed in class.

Math- Unit 6: Measurement

Learning goal: Students will tell time to the nearest second.

Students learned how to write the date and time in SI notation (Standard International). For example, the date October 24, 2017 would be written as 2017 10 24. The date written in words would be: October twenty fourth two thousand seventeen. For time, if the clocks shows 4 hours 32 minutes 10 seconds, SI notation would be: 4: 32: 10.

Time to the nearest minute: 1-30 (minute stays the same); 31-60 (minute goes up)
For example: 11:30:04 (11:30) and 11:30:52 (11:31)

Students worked on textbook pg. 195 questions 1-4.

Homework: Math practice sheet

UOI: Light and Sound

Learning goal: Students will be introduced to light and sound.

We created a KWL chart for light and sound as students shared their knowledge and curiosities about the topic. Students looked at a picture titled "Sounds Are All Around" and answered questions to the following scenario: "Imagine your class is at a basketball game. The game is in full swing and the fans are cheering. In the middle of all this excitement, your class is doing a science investigation. Your task is to observe and record all the sounds you can hear at the game. Take a look at this picture. How many sounds would you hear in this scene?"

After going through this activity, students started to create a title page for the new unit.
