Term 3 Science Overview
by Mrs. Nilsen on March 31st, 2014
Plate Tectonics, Waves, Electricity, and more coming your way!
Sometimes it's helpful to know where we're going. Below is a BRIEF overview of the science topics for the next term. It is a little different from years past, as I am trying to set the 7/8 blends up for success next year. (For example, normally I would do the Climate Change and Weather unit with the 7th graders this term, but it will be a part of the Year 1 theme for the 7/8s. Therefore, taught next year and I don't want the 7s to have both this year and next.)
Moral of the story, I am working hard with the staff to make sure that I am teaching appropriate content this year AND that I am setting up the 7/8 blends for success next year. All in all, it's going to be a great term with lots of content, ideas, and hands-on science!
April
6th - Earth Systems, geologic history, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, etc.
7th - Earth Systems, geologic history, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, etc.
8th - Science OAKs testing, Earth Systems, geologic history, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, etc.
May
6th - Electricity and Magnetism
7th - Waves and Electromagnetic Spectrum and Radiation
8th - Waves and Electromagnetic Spectrum and Radiation
June
6th - Final Science project and Engineering Design
7th - Final Science project and Engineering Design
8th - Final Science project and Engineering Design
Here's to a great term of Science! I can't wait to begin these more thematic units with all of our fabulous Seniors.
