Marble Run

Check out Samylle's marble run.  Nice Job!

SNOW DAY!

So, the power might be out tomorrow.  On top of that, it might not be safe to travel, so you may have to wait to go sledding!

So, what can you do in the mean time?  Well...You can always read!

How about you build another marble roller coaster at home? Record it in action and I'll put it on the blog!  If you build one, share the recording with me on google drive or email it to mrpestone.deerhill@gmail.com

Check out some other videos for inspiration.

Potential and Kinetic Energy!

Post your thoughts about our roller coaster experiment! What did this activity help you learn about potential and kinetic energy?  What about acceleration? Velocity? Relative Motion?

ENERGY!

A Long Walk to Water

Time to reflect...

Please write 2-3 well thought out paragraphs about the book and our discussions.  What did you think? Did you like it? Why? What did it teach us?

Some ideas to help you get started...

-What was the theme?

-What did you learn?

-Was it like any other book we read?

-Ask questions for your classmates to answer!

This is not a 5 paragraph open response! This is you reflecting on a book which we discussed in class.  This should be the start of a conversation.  We will be responding to our classmate's post's tomorrow. 

EDIT YOUR POST IN WORD OR PAGES!!!

SELL IT!

Please post your well-thought out, edited advertisement.

Did you:

-Use the question checklist on SP-10?

-Incorporate some of the possible sentence starters from 
SP-12?

-Write at least one "Yes, but" statement in your advertisement?

USE WORD OR PAGES TO EDIT YOUR WRITING BEFORE YOU POST IT!!!

Vocab!

You need to create 2 fill in the blank vocab sentences for your friends to solve!

Here is an example of what I want you to do:

Ashley proved to be a very _________________ builder, constructing her hut out of many different materials she found on the island.

Find the word!      -Mr. Pestone

-After you make your own posts, write down (on paper) answers to at least five of your classmate's sentences and bring them in to check tomorrow morning.  We will use them to review.

Your sentences should be well constructed without any errors, and demonstrate your understanding of the word!
