Today in integrated science, students received an article (Roller Coaster article) to read, annotate, and write a POEM about by Friday. Students were asked to create an idea web of the forms of energy for the class to debate on. After figuring out that mechanical energy is the sum total of all an object’s energy, and sound is kinetic energy, students were able to begin reviewing some of the math problems from the notes that we took the other day. Tomorrow we will review the rest of the problems and learn how to do energy pie charts. (See Energy Skate Park Simulation)

Science 8 students asked preliminary questions for their quiz, and then took the quiz.

After the quiz is done:
1. Read over the prompt for the Argumentative Essay-De-extinction Prompt. If you have not read over the article ( Bringing them back to life (De-extinction)   or  Bringing them back to life (Word)) Please do so as well.

2. Use the Pro-Con sheet to begin organizing your essay.

3. If finished with that, take notes on the Extinction Notes
