Week 3

 

  1. What did you learn this week?
This week, I learned about the different stages of life that living things go through. For example, the lifesyle of a butterfly or a strawberry. A lot of living things begin as either an egg or seed. I also learned that the concept if a virus is living or non-living is a big debate in the field of biology. A virus could be considred non living because it is not made of cells. 

  1. Are you able to relate what you learned to






    what you already knew?
I remember leanring about the life cycle when I was in elementary school. It was nice doing the playdough activity to refresh my memory. 


  1. What are new or remaining questions? 
Why would someone consider a virus as living vs non-living? 
How can a Virus travel so fast if it is non-living?

week 11 science 2

  The big question addressed in lab, and a description of what you did. We started lab having small and whole group discussion about formative assessments and teaching students based off of their questions. Next, we did an activity to determine 'who came first' which translates to how we are currently learning about things in earths history that occured first. We did an invesigation to determine what came fist in the principle of superposition.  - rocks form layers that become buried under more layers over time, the deeper we dig, the farther back in time we see. Fossils found deeper and deeper mean it gets older and older.  We also looked at the layers of earth.  1. sandstone  2. mudstone  3. limestone 4. volcanic ash  5. granite (shifts up, lead to fault line)  sand created through water is polished, smooth, similar in size  glaciers, polished, smooth, irregualr in size  wind  A description of what you learned in Thursda...
