Well, we started this week on a Tuesday so It's a little funky, but not bad. We finished density a while ago, and force and motion right up to the winter break, and now we're going to start learning about matter.
Tuesday/Wednesday: So we started with learning about how matter, forces, and density come together to create what happens in the sun. Tonight on the left hand side of the "Sun is a Star" entry we want you to go home and find an article (from the computer, newspaper, a magazine) and to glue it in. The article has to have some connection to the sun, but it CANNOT mention the sun anywhere in the article. You will then, in 40 words or less, explain the unwritten connection, and then create an illustration showing this connection. Thursday/Friday: Today you got to learn a bit more about stars, their life cycles, types, etc. Tonight, using your Costa's Levels of Inquiry in your notebook, develop a level one, two, and three question that you are really wondering about stars.
