  • Please take your Essential Assessment today. Today is the last day I will accept this assignment. As for all other work:
  • If your grade is above 65%, stop submitting work. The grade book is closed. If your grade is below 65%, please keep working towards credit. If you submit work today and any day after today and you already have credit, you will notice no change in school loop. Thank you for being so diligent in your efforts. It has been one heck of a trimester. Way to put the word “try” into the word trimester!! I will never forget this year - ever! And I hope to see you in the future. I miss you all so much.

Within the slide deck, you will see a "click here" tab that will take you to your google answer form. There are 20 questions - each question is worth 1 point. This quiz represents what is essential for 7th grade science - including some chemistry. Your score will be sent to me. You must finish the quiz by 11:59 Wednesday May 28, 2020
  • Good luck!

  • Good morning 7th grade! I am still spending 100% of my checking emails and updating school loop for the kids that are finally catching up. Little overwhelming on my end right now, but Im so happy to see the work getting turned in. So, because most of my time is getting funneled to catch up work, I wont be assigning anything new this week. If you want to, download a free stop motion app, and try it out. Our assessment will be using this app. I will assign our assessment in one week.
  • As for the kids who are catching up, PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR WORK TO GOOGLE CLASSROOM
  • thanks kids - I hope you had a nice weekend.
  • miss you

  • Good morning! Hope you guys are still finding ways to laugh - laughing is a necessity!! Ok, so I am zooming tomorrow to go over the plate tectonic notes. Im just going to focus on the three types of plate boundaries. I will demo and then give ya a kahoot. Your assessment is coming soon and it will be a slomo based on the 3 types of plate boundaries. I will probably be assigning your assessment on May 18.... super fun it will be. I will explain way more about it - but heads up - you will be using any food of your choice. I have some examples that I'll show next week too. Playing with food and making a slomo... download the free app and start practicing. Daily Dose had some examples of slomo if you remember.

  • Hi Kids! If you were at my last zoom, you might remember me telling you about the precancerous lesion that I am treating on my lip. That was a week ago. The topical ointment that I am using is working, but it has blistered my lip and it is difficult to talk right now and it hurts to laugh/smile. Because of this temporary situation, I am not going to zoom today. I have extended all of your work to be due 5/18. I will hopefully be zooming again on Friday. Sorry about this. And don't worry about me, I am going to be fine. I just wanted to tell you why I won't be able to zoom today  - I miss you all so much...

May 5, 2020

  • Happy Cinqo de Mayo.
  • here is my update for the next two weeks:
  •  I think we are going to take a well deserved Break. I am going to tone it down. I would like you to start observing the moon. Just go outside at night and take a good look at it. Full Moon is coming. These "Inside the Earth" notes will be due in 2 weeks. I will not be assigning anything new next week, we are working hard and its getting difficult, stressful and just too much for some of us. So, take a science break. If you did the "Inside the Earth" notes, you are done. If you cant complete these notes, due to tech issues, let it go - just let it go. OK? take a breather. I will still zoom on Wednesday

May 4, 2020

  • May the 4th be with you!!
  • Good morning kids:) I think we are at 50 days for SIP. I really hope you are ok and staying safe. I miss you all so much. I know that I told you that we would draw this week, but I need to actually have you guys take notes off my powerpoint. The concept is plate tectonics. The Earth's lithosphere is brittle and is broken up into "plates" that move and have moved for millions of years. 
  • So, if you can, please print out the notes. These two pages on notes will go on page 120 - 121. (Inside the Earth Notes)
  • ​If you don't have a printer, you'll need to write it into your lab book. After the "Inside the Earth" notes are completed, take a photo and upload into google classroom. 
  • I made a video to go through the notes - its what I would've said if we were in class. If I go too fast, just hit pause and rewind if you need to go over it again. I hope the instructional video helps.
  • so, below I have the instructional video and "what's inside the earth" notes. 
  • the links below that are just some videos that I would like you to look at 
Here is the INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO on PLATE TECTONICS/INSIDE THE EARTH

  • Good morning! Welcome to distance learning week #2. I have put some things together for the week and I hope you can handle it!! Of course you can!! I miss you guys so much. This week I am trying to distance teach two simple things this week. One, is an interactive website to give you some more insight on the rock cycle and two, a simple diagram to draw a cross section of earh's layers. 
  • ​Ok, so first I would like you to open up and read through (entirely) the distance learning april 27 2020 pdf. This contains all of the instruction written out. You do not need to print it out. It wont go on a page in your lab book, but if you find it easier to print it out - please do whatever works best for you to learn this week :) Underneath this pdf, I have included my weekly instructional video on how to do everything. The files below my instructional video link are what else you need for this week. All of this work is due in one week (Monday). I will assign this work on School Loop and in Google Classroom on Wednesday (you can not turn in the this weeks work until Wednesday, ok?) I need today and tomorrow to update last weeks grades. I hope you understand. If you do not understand, I will be right next to my gmail this afternoon.

Good morning! I have your assignments for the week. I will still upload/add a worksheet by Wednesday to review what you are doing today. This assignment is for week 1 of Distance Learning and we are starting Geology. You can either print out this assignment, or just write what is needed on each page in your lab book. I have included textbook pages from the Red Science book of which you don't have. There is also the table of contents. Please try and keep it up to date. So, email me if you have questions. We will review this work on Wednesday morning zoom. I have attached a time lapse of my wonderful art skills filling in the rock cycle diagram. hope it opens, works, and helps you with completing the diagram. We will review this rock cycle during zoom on Wednesday.

here's in interesting short video on the concept of ... scum ...er, foodchains!!
enjoy and I hope all is well
​ed.ted.com/lessons/dead-stuff-the-secret-ingredient-in-our-food-chain-john-c-moore

​
I assigned a Google Classroom assignment for you guys to make 3 slides: 
Slide #1: title with photo and your basic heading (name/class/date(
Slide #2: 5 biotic photos (each photo needs a simple caption)
Slide #3: 5 abiotic photos (each photo needs a simple caption)

Due Monday: turn it into Google classroom. If you don't know code, it's posted on my home page. 

love you guys - after your photos, we will build off of this and get into food chains and food webs.
would you prefer a digital poster or hand made poster? your comments keep me going - go outside and look at your ecosystem...

  • Good Morning! I hope you are enjoying your time to relax and rest up. 
  • I would like to continue our "Oh What a tangled web we weave" work packet. I have a print out of all the sheets from last Friday in class if you were absent. If you were at school on Friday, then we are adding page #108. Look at the table of contents tab to keep your lab book up to date :)
  • Please fill out the questions on page 107 and add page 108. You can either write in page 108 like my photo, or print it out. Please try and complete page 107 and 108 today.
  • Let me know if you have any questions.
  • Again, these notes will be under the "downloadables" tab

  • I have uploaded pics from our Earth science textbook. It discusses Biotic and Abiotic factors. It discusses more than that - but lets just focus on Biotic and Abiotic factors. Please read the following pages and keep in mind what biotic and abiotic factors you have right outside your door. This can be in either your immediate yard, or a favorite outside place in nature. 
  • after you read the following pages, show me your understanding of biotic and abiotic factors. Pick an area (an ecosystem) and take 1 photo of 5 biotic factors and 1 photo of 5 abiotic factors (10 photos total). This can, again, be at your house or wherever you go when you go outside. You can spend 20 minutes on this or you can spend two or three days on this. Just start observing your animal and plant life outside. What kind of birds? where's the water source? ants? spiders? bees? birds? just start observing and take a deep breath. Let the sunshine brighten your day. We will do something with these photos later - but for now, find some good photos. You can take a whole bunch, and then pick your fav 5 biotic and your fav 5 abiotic factors. Don't know what an abiotic or biotic factor is? just read the following.
