August 28/29

Bell Ringer:  You find a multicellular, heterotroph with cell walls.  Which kingdom does it belong in?
Today students looked at a variety of items and classified them as:
Alive-have 7 characterisitics of life
Alive but dormant-seeds, yeast, etc.
Dead- once alive, not dormant
Product of a Living Organism- milk, feathers, etc.
Never Alive-most rocks
Next we watched this short video clip and then the students wrote a letter to Theo Jansen explaining why his "creatures" are not living.  Then we reviewed the 6 kingdoms of life using this powerpoint.  Last of all, student completed this worksheet on variables and controls.

Important Dates:
September 6th:  Science Skills/Classification Test
September 13th:  1/2 way points (Honors Only)
October 3rd:  Insect Project Due (Honors Only)
