Nicky and I read through the first half of 4.1 in the textbook before turning our attention to a video on the Magna Carta with links to the founding fathers and constitution.

Lesson 2: Energy Transfers and Transformations – We learned that biomass is organic material that comes from plants and animals, and it is a renewable source of energy. Then we learned that burning biomass releases stored chemical energy which can then be transformed into electric energy. Next we learned that most energy we use comes from fossil fuels and nuclear energy.
Then we played a board game where we answered questions on energy and energy transfers.
Assignment: Complete Energy Transfers and Transformations vocabulary and lesson content.

Substitute math/Expressions and Equations.

I. The student will increase his vocabulary by selecting Greek and Latin roots to learn.
II. The student will further his knowledge of Greek and Latin Roots by selecting the one he wants to learn and adding it to an anchor chart.

I. The student will review fiction and nonfiction definitions.
II. The student will complete focused practice on reading informational text and getting his percentage rate up to a minimum of 80% and a maximum of 100% on reading informational passages.

Lesson 2: Energy Transfers and Transformations – We learned that wind turbines are built in places where wind blows most of the time. A generator is turned by the turbine changing kinetic energy of wind to electric energy. Then we learned that in hydroelectric plants the mechanical energy of falling water being channeled through a turbine is transformed to electric energy. Next we learned that in a geothermal plant thermal energy from within Earth is transferred to water creating steam which is used to turn turbines in electric generators.

I subbed for Nicky's math class today. He logged into Savvas account and completed his math assignment.
