On Monday, the Alternative Energy Research Project was introduced. Students will work in groups to research one of six alternative energy sources. These include wind power, solar power, hydropower, biomass, geothermal, and nuclear energy. The groups will work together to research and build a slideshow in GoogleDocs to present to their science class. Students will individually write a research report on their energy source for language arts class. This project is ultimately due April 17th. I have shared a folder in GoogleDocs to each student with more details and pacing help.
For the rest of the week we will be studying the Solar System! Learning goals for the week include:
1. I can describe how night and day are caused by the Earth’s rotation.
2. I can explain:
a. The Earth is one of several planets to orbit the sun;
b. The moon orbits the Earth.
3. I can describe the characteristics of the Earth and its orbit.
4. I can explain how the stars are like the sun but farther away.
No quizzes or homework this week!!
