September 18th-22nd
Unit 2: Atoms Homecoming Spirit Week We started the week learning about the Periodic Table of the elements. The students were having meta-craziness due to homecoming spirit week yet we enjoyed the continuous energies showing our Rangers' PRIDE. In this lesson, students will describe the structure of the atom including the masses, locations, and electrical charges of subatomic particles. Students will use the periodic table to collect the information needed to construct models of elements/atoms. Students will analyze and interpret information from atom/element models and the periodic table to understand that protons determine the identity of an element. |
September 25-29th
Unit 2: Atoms (Cont'd) We learned how to construct models of elements/atoms determining the number of protons, neutrons and electrons. The students enjoyed doing some math to calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons to identify the specific element. By the end of the week, the students will learn how to find the accurate information related to atomic structure. |
October 2nd-6th
Unit 2: Atoms (Cont'd) The students continued to work on atomic structure identifying the number of neutrons, protons and electrons. They also had an opportunity to explain the concept of an atomic structure using coolest app called Explain Me Everything and the students seem to be immersed into this kind of thing. We will have an unit test coming up soon on the atomic structure. Happy October! |
October 9th-13th
Unit 2.2- Atoms (Final) In this lesson, the students were preparing for taking Unit 1 & 2 Test on Science Safety and Atom. They also learned how to create Explain Me Everything app to explain the concept of atomic structure which is pretty cool. The students will do make-up work to ensure that they get good grades, which are due Friday of October 20th marking the final day of the 1st Quarter! |
October 30th-November 3rd
In this lesson, the students were learning about identifying the number of valence electrons and finding the protons through atomic mass information. The students also prepared for the unit test reviewing all of the important information. The students also learned how to classify elements based on their physical and chemical properties. The students will learn more about compounds in the next unit. |
November 6th-10th
In this lesson, the students were preparing for the unit test and reviewed most of the important information that they need to know beforehand. In addition, the students also enjoyed taking the Kahoot games to check for their prior knowledge. We are ready to move on to the next unit. Good luck! |
November 13th-17th
Chemical formulas containing subscripts and preceded by coefficients will be analyzed and interpreted to determine the number of atoms of each element present in compounds. Students will implement investigations and observe evidence of chemical reactions as indicators of the formation of new substances with differing properties. |
November 27th-December 1st
In this unit, the students were studying the chemical formulas containing subscripts and balancing chemical equations to find the number of atoms. The students also enjoyed calculating the components of a chemical equations. We also provided a fun activicty related with bingo games and the kids love it. |
February 12th-February 16th
Students will differentiate between speed, velocity, and acceleration and demonstrate and calculate how unbalanced forces change. They will then demonstrate their understanding of the concepts through an experimental investigation. They will be given an unit test next week. |
March 26th-30th
Students continue to investigate on the relationships between force, motion, and energy through the investigations of Newton's laws of inertia, force and acceleration, and action-reaction. Students will describe applications of Newton's laws of motion in everyday life. April 9th-13th
Students continue to investigate on the relationships between force, motion, and energy through the investigations of Newton's laws of inertia, force and acceleration, and action-reaction. Students will review and take the test based on Newton's Laws. April 23rd-27th & April 30th-May 4th In this lesson, students will describe the historical development of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory. Students will relate plate tectonic to crustal feature information. May 14th-18th
In this lesson, students will identify the Sun as the energy source that drives convection within the atmosphere and oceans, causing winds and currents. Students will also use weather maps and symbols of fronts and pressure to identify how global patterns of atmospheric movement affect local weather. |
April 2nd-6th Students continue to investigate on the relationships between force, motion, and energy through the investigations of Newton's laws of inertia, force and acceleration, and action-reaction. Students will review and take the test based on Newton's Laws. April 16th-20th Students continue to investigate on the relationships between force, motion, and energy through the investigations of Newton's laws of inertia, force and acceleration, and action-reaction. Students will review and take the test based on Newton's Laws. May 7th-11th
In this lesson, students continue to learn about the historical development of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory. Students will relate plate tectonic to crustal feature information. |
May 29th-June 1st
At last, it is hard to believe that school is currently almost over so we mostly focused on catching up with the grades and getting ready for the summer! Before we close this website for the summer, we personally want to thank you for viewing and be part of our community. Have a wonderful summer! See you in the fall! |
May 21st-25th
In this lesson, students continue to learn about the weather patterns and had an opportunity to attend International Study Presentation hosted by high school students. At last, we surprised our wonder teacher, Tyriibah with a nice gift. We will miss her. :) |
