Learning Module 2 (LM2 Lost At Sea Activity) which includes a reflection on the activity and an extension of our learning about critical thinking this week (select 5 brainteasers to complete from the list of 10 provided).
During today's class, a video was uploaded to Teams for Cameron to view. We continued our discussion on evolution, talking about common ancestry, lineages, descent with modification, and Charles Darwin's work.

Today we focused on how America mobilized for WWI. It was not an easy decision for President Woodrow Wilson to send troops overseas to Europe in 1917 to fight on the side of the Allies, against Germany and the Central Powers. We reviewed why this happened and discussed what was involved in mobilizing American troops to fight in such a large scale, mechanized and modern war overseas.
Today's update on injured Buffalo Bills player Demar Hamlin is that he's still in the hospital, but may be released to go home soon. We also looked at a war game simulation of a possible conflict. How can authorities be prepared and how might the whole thing be avoided? We'll then looked at how Europe is experiencing summer temperatures in the wintertime. This could be good news for energy costs, but the ski slopes are closed and there are concerns about potential long-term trends.
During today's class, a video was uploaded to Teams for Cameron to view. It continued with our topic of evolution, including discussing natural selection, adaptations, natural variation, and artificial selection. Cameron was given questions to answer about a video we watched on natural selection.

Cameron finished the test on Multiplying and Factoring Polynomials. Then I introduced Lesson 7-5 Factoring – We learned that when a trinomial is in the form x2 + bx + c, the factors are found by identifying a pair of integer factors of c that have a sum of b and then using the factors to write binomials that have a product equal to the trinomial.
Assignment: Complete the assigned problems for homework.
