I hope you are well as we enter another week! This week, we will be revisiting energy and begin talking about how energy transfers though various environments. The concepts this week will be familiar to most.
Key vocabulary include: biotic, abiotic, biosphere, ecosystem, population, community, ecology, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, producer, consumer, decomposer, scavenger, food web, food chain, energy pyramid
Monday – We will begin our week with a visit from VSVS! They will share a hands-on experience about Electrolysis of Water and Fuel Cells.
Tuesday – Setup for the STEAM Fair begins! We will bring our projects to the gym to be put on display. Students will also receive a new menu on the topic of Interdependence. Specifically we will begin looking at food webs vs. food chains and how it is naturally organized. The menu is abbreviated this week because of all of our activities. A sample of the new menu can be found here. (Completing 2 activities per day will keep students on track!)
Wednesday – Students will complete an interactive lesson on Food Webs and how disrupting these systems has extended effects. Homework is to reflect on the glows and grows of the activities.
Thursday – Students will continue to work on their menus. The goal is to complete 2 activities. STEAM Night will take place in the evening! I am excited to be showing off the robot with some of my team.
Friday – Students who have completed their menu work will participate in a review game of Kahoot! Students will take a quiz on how energy travels through food webs.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, thoughts, or concerns! I hope you have a great week!
