Lesson 1 Matter and Energy in Ecosystems – Dutch learned how light energy is used to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water through the process of photosynthesis. In organisms food moves through a series of chemical reactions and the molecules are rearranged to support growth or release energy. Plants, algae, and microorganisms use the energy from light to make food from carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water through the process of photosynthesis. These reactants produce glucose and oxygen. Next he learned that cellular respiration in plants and animals involve chemical reactions with oxygen that release stored energy. In these processes, complex molecules containing carbon react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and other materials.

Capture GoPro footage and capture drone footage add to 45 sec reel of best work. Rehearse and read script for the film TCUS3 shooting on location. How to develop a character, tasks and blocking direction and developing your character's internal dialogue.

Dutch was instructed to open the file that contained his illustrations for his infographic. I instructed him on the process that we would be using to color in his design. He painted in the flat colors for his image and added a camouflage pattern to the wet suit of his character. He saved his file as a PNG with a transparent background and closed his file.

Dutch finished the 7th grade math section of the standardized test.

Finished testing! Way to go, Dutch!

Dutch worked on listening skills and spelling on a standardized test.

Dutch continued the 7th grade math standardized test.

Goals: Finish the water portion of the painting project...
Focus on lights and shadows and where the water turns green...

Dutch continued taking the test.
