There is a quiz tomorrow over section 8.1.
Only a few people brought in their SF boards with the sections printed off so they could lay them on the board for me. These boards are due Friday. I know there is a 5th grade picnic that day. Mrs. Beal said she will allow time for them to bring their completed boards to my room before they leave.

I gave the students two worksheets that are about Order of Operations.

Science Fair is quickly drawing to a close. Students may bring in, and some have, their completed papers tomorrow or Tuesday. These will be graded on time. The finished paper is worth two test grades.
On Tuesday they are required to bring in all the parts for the board in a baggie or folder and their board. They will lay out the board and put the pieces on the board so that I can see that everything is done and ready to be glued down (with rubber cement please). Then they will take them home, finish them up and bring them in on Friday. The board itself is worth a test grade.
There is no book homework for tonight.

We reviewed the tests today. Many students did very well on this one.
We also made a mockup of the science fair board using just a piece of notebook paper. Please check with your student so they can show you what it is to look like. Be sure to buy a three-fold display board and some rubber cement. Over the many years and many projects I have been involved in, I have found that rubber cement is the best pasting product to use as it is easy to clean, does not leave wavy paper like water-based glues, and the paper is easily removable in case something needs to be repositioned or removed and replaced.
I told the students they should make a new folder in the folder for their science fair project sections. The new folder could be labeled "sections for the board." They should pull these sections into this new folder: Purpose, Hypothesis, Materials, Methods of Procedure, Tables and Graphs, Conclusion, and abstract and Safety Sheet. These are the only sections that have to go on the board. Once they have been copied into this new folder, they can be modified for the science fair board. For instance, take the title off the page entitled Purpose and take out the double-spacing. You will use the labels that come with the display board or make your own to put on the board. You will make the font larger to fill up two to three lines so it will be easier to see on the board. Here is an example:
The purpose of this science fair experiment is to discover which brand of fertilizer will help plants grow best.
I could not choose the exact size I wanted here in this blog but I would have tried to make it take up only two lines or all of three lines. Do the same for the other sections. If you have questions, please email me.
I hope this has been helpful.

The test for Chapter 7 will be on Monday. Several students need to do excellently on this test.
This coming week the sections for the science fair paper are all due. On Monday they are to turn in the corrected versions of the Abstract and Safety sheet, on Wednesday is due the corrections for the Conclusion, and on Friday (MUST BE TURNED IN ON FRIDAY) the entire paper is due.
The student must also bring in their display board. These can be purchased at teachers' stores or office supply stores. Tuesday we will make a mock-up of the board so they know where everything is supposed to go.

On Saturday, there is a rock identification class held at the Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art in Elmhurst. You can visit at lizzadromuseum.org.There are two times for the class - at 10:30 am and 1:00 pm. Cost is $5 and you just register. You can do that at 630-833-1616. Some of the kids sounded really interested.

The students have a comprehension check to complete by Monday. The corrections to the Results section of the project are due Monday. Yesterday I talked to them about the abstract and safety sheet. I read to them an abstract and a safety sheet. You can go to www.ijas.org and on the left is a place where you can click on Documents and Forms. Below the first section you will be able to choose to download the Abstract and Safety Sheet. When they are downloaded to your computer, your student can type the information on there. I went into great detail about this so they should be able to do it.
Thanks and have a great weekend.

I am sorry about the blog not working last night. I sent emails to all the 7th grade parents hoping you would pass on the information about the lessons the test would cover.
Since they took a test today I did not teach a lesson. Instead, I gave them a two page worksheet. One of the concepts may be new to them. I am interested to see if any of them actually look up that concept online to figure it out.

The planet reports and visual aid are due tomorrow. In class today the students were asked to give the materials to one of the partners to finish gluing to the board. We will begin oral reports tomorrow.
Don't forget that the corrected versions of the Results section of the Science Fair project are due on Monday. There are a bunch of little sections due the next two weeks so keep up with the due date list. It is VITAL that you purchase a science fair display board. These can be found at office supply stores or teacher supply stores. Also needed are clear cover report covers with fasteners. One mom found a pack of 8 online through Office Depot for $8 and some change.

The homework for the weekend is to work on the planet report and poster. Today the students used a worksheet I handed out and books from our library (the library had no books on Mars, Mercury, Uranus, or Pluto which was downgraded to a dwarf planet - I am sure any donations would be greatly appreciated) to gather information for their oral report and visual aid. They are to decide between their partners which parts of the project each will do and work together on it. We will spend more time on Tuesday getting the poster ready for the oral reports to begin on Wednesday.
On Monday will be a quiz, then they may work some more on the project.
