Directions: You are going to conduct some research to figure out how other animals besides penguins are affected by climate change! Choose one of the animals from the list below and conduct your own research that answers the following questions:
After you do your research, you will create a small poster to show your findings. Your poster should be visually appealing and include pictures, include all of the information that you researched, and be organized. These are due Friday. After that, it is homework. Animals affected by climate change

Directions: Click on the Edji link below to read the article and learn about the real igloos that were made for African Penguins in South Africa. Do the following in your journal: 1. Write a paragraph about the similarities between your igloo design process and the process the engineers followed in South Africa to make their igloos. Use evidence from the article on Edji to support your thinking. Make sure you comment on Edji with an appropriate comment. 2. Write a second paragraph about the differences between your igloo design process and the engineers' process in South Africa. Use evidence from the article on Edji to support your thinking. 3. Write a third paragraph about what you learned about penguins and the engineering design process. Article: edji.it/#/dashboard Code: 76mb Directions: You are going to construct a scientific explanation on which insulators were the best from your materials testing. Title the page, "CER: Insulators"
C - Claim: The answer to the original question/investigation. E - Evidence: The data that supports your claim (how do you know your claim is true?). Three pieces of evidence is the magic number. Make sure the data you use makes sense and says how you know the claim is correct. R - Reasoning: Why your claim is correct - Why were those insulators the best? (this is the science behind your claim and evidence). How can make a real world connection about insulators? This should be written as a paragraph in complete sentences. You have sentence starters for these in your binder. Directions:
1. Title your page, "Egg on the Sidewalk." Label the left side "My First Thoughts" and the right side "My New Thoughts." 2. Choose which picture below best represents how an egg would cook on a sidewalk. Use evidence and correct terminology to explain your reasoning. 3. Click "Read More." once you have checked in with a teacher. Directions:
1.Title your page, "Black or Mylar Umbrella?". 2. Answer and explain the following question - Would you rather have a black umbrella or umbrella made of mylar in order to keep cool on a sunny day? 3. Draw an accurate representation of which umbrella would be the best choice and why. Why would that umbrella be the best choice? Make sure you use evidence and the correct terminology to support your answer. 4. Click "Read More" to see the correct answer. Include any information or drawings that you didn't include in your previous answer or that was inaccurate in yours. 1. Title the page, "Pot of Boiling Water." Split the page down the middle and label the left side, "My first thoughts" and the right hand side "My new thoughts."
2. Decide and explain which picture below is the most accurate representation of what happens when a pot of water gets warm and boils on the left hand side. Pay really close attention to the details in each picture. There is only one correct answer. Be sure to explain your thinking and use the correct terminology (what is happening with the molecules, thermal energy, which type of heat transfer, etc.). 3. As part of your answer, draw which one you think is correct. You can do this at the beginning 4. After you have checked in, click "Read More" and include any new or more accurate information that you didn't include. If you did not draw the correct answer in the left hand side, make sure you draw it here. You are going to create a mini model to show what was happening in the house with and without mylar from the quick demo we did on Friday. You will need to refer to your data (House Demo 2.0) to help you!
Directions: 1. Create a mini model of each situation with the house - one without mylar and one with mylar. 2. Include a brief explanation or caption of each house to explain what is happening. Use data/evidence from the demonstration to support your thinking! 3. Click "Read More" to see my model and explanation. Include any information you were missing or that was inaccurate. If your model is significantly different than mine, please modify yours! Directions:
1. Title your next journal page "House Flip Explanation" 2. You are going to explain what happened next using pictures and words. Redraw step 2 of the house below, but then use arrows to show what happened to the air masses in the ground floor and roof. How did they move or change? 3. Draw the third picture of the house... Draw an accurate representation of what the air masses looked like once the air masses changed. 4. Explain your reasoning for how you drew your pictures the way you did. Use evidence from the demonstration to support your answer and picture. (Use your notes from yesterday to help you!) When you are done, check in with Ms. Saikin. 5. Draw a line underneath your reasoning, then click "Read More" to get the correct representation. If you were incorrect, explain why and draw the correct pictures. If you were correct, include any new reasoning that you didn't in your previous answer. |
