Today in integrated science, students reviewed the questions 1-3 on the Newton’s Law 3 problems worksheet. After discussing normal force and how force magnitude can change, students were posed with an elevator problem and asked to do force diagrams for the elevator and a person standing on the elevator. We identified the action and reaction force pairs, and then students whiteboarded problem 4 from the homework.

Science 8 students today received back their ABC graffiti charts, and started a new section in their notebooks for natural selection, evolution, and extinction. We began today with a lab over the FISH FOSSIL RECORD FAMILY TREE ACTIVITY. Students were challenged to use morphology to infer relationships in a family tree. We will be finishing this lab tomorrow.
