Then, they needed to actually set up and do the experiment at home where they would then record their observations and analyze their results. Students wrote lab reports and also presented their findings to the class.
Fun in Math
Students use math games to reinforce a skill or mathematical knowledge. In this video, students are playing Landmark Shark in which they practice finding the Mean, Median, and Mode in a set of data:

Science Safety Contract
This was our first post in science class. Below you can see our Safety Contract. It was fun because we learned how to add our digital signature to a document. You can see my contract below:
Assessment Objectives in Science
These are the 4 Assessment Objectives in Science. This means that students will be assessed in these four areas. You can see the full assessment rubrics in the MYP section of this blog.
