At recess, Cam participated in the Eggsellent Egg Crate Challenge. His egg, named Eggie Van Halen, survived a 50 feet throw. Cam's design was successful and protected Eggie the egg. Then during art class, he created his roller coaster track and did five marble runs. The longest distance his marble traveled was 34 feet.

Lesson Comments
Today's session with Aiden was an important review for his Unit Test on Point-Slope linear equations and Percent of Change , Mark-up/discount problems. Although Aiden is currently feeling underconfident with "basic problems", our additional practice problems can be used as key references/models for his test problems.
Discuss graph results and analysis of digestion of egg white v temperature. Introduce expansion of kingdoms from just plant and animal to plant, animal, protist, bacteria, and fungi. Discuss and define characteristics of animals which involve movement and reproduction. Discuss internal and external fertilization, hermaphrodites, zygote formation, cons to external fertilization. View diagrams of different methods of asexual reproduction and discuss budding, fragmentation, regeneration, parthenogenesis, and binary fission.
Define carbohydrates chemically. Show how they are hydrated carbon atoms from the formula. Discuss the monomer saccharides and the polymer starch. From the molecular formula draw the structural formula for glucose and discuss its ring structure. Discuss how hydrolysis breaks starch into di and polymers.
Review the definition and general formula for an alkane. Write the molecular and structural formula of the first three alkanes in the series. Define a saturated hydrocarbon in terms of hydrogens/carbon atom. From the structural formulas drawn indicate that each substance in the series differs by only a single CH2 and classify the series as a homologous series. Define and discuss an alkyl addition group, using the root of the alkane name.
Review definition and chemistry of alkanes. Review the names and formulas of the first 5 alkanes in the series. Discuss the group formed when one hydrogen is removed from an alkane molecule. Determine that the formula for this addition group is CxH2x+1. Discuss the nomenclature of these addition groups, using the root name of the alkane and substituting yl for one at the end. Work a few nomenclature problems involving the addition of a methyl group to an alkane. Discuss the best methods for naming correctly.
Unit 4 Living Things and Habitats Plants in Landscapes
Lesson Outline
Lesson 1 What Plants Need – We learned that plants need pollinators to make new plants. We learned that the roots of plants keep plants in the ground. The roots keep plants healthy by taking in water, minerals, and nutrients from the soil.
We completed Kaitlin's AP style essay on ideologies' impact on European imperialism. Kaitlin for homework completed a paragraph on the impact of Social Darwinism. that was excellent. Today, she composed a paragraph on the impact of religious zeal as well as her conclusion . We discussed transition words for each paragraph and how to expand the thesis to add an analytical layer to an AP concluding paragraph.
