Icebreaker 

The Sound of a Decade

Students were assigned a different decade as the focus of a mock radio show they will present. Students researched important events from the decade, politics, science, entertainment, and popular culture. Once students compiled their information, they ran through their entire radio show while recording it! Students thought about how to bring energy and excitement to their voices to keep their listeners’ interested.

Daily Activity

Students went over their homework and presented what they worked on at home. Based on their progress we moved forward with our science fair presentation projects. Students went over their outlines and schedule, and began making a mock material list. We gathered items on their list that we did have on hand. Students went down our list from last week to prepare for their major project. 

1. Brainstorm - Think of ideas that are easy to do in our class as a mock science project, keep it simple. 
2. Schedule - Create a schedule for your mock science project; buy these items on this day, test this hypothesis on this date, results by this date, etc. 
3. Outline Presentation - Provide an outline of your presentation using Ms. Adrienne's Writing Guide
4. Call to action - Think of a call to action for your audience with you project; reduce waste, carbon foot print, etc.
5. Material List - A list of items you would need for your mock science project; if we have items on hand in class, we will use them. 

Major Project

Science Project - Day 2

Students continued to work on their projects; they worked on their call to action and made sure the presentation included items learned in previous classes like; a clear topic, attention grabbing beginning, provide examples and details, a clear conclusion. Students also needed to include items leaned int he science fair video such as stating your hypothesis, stating your conclusion, and providing your evidence. Students that completed their list of objectives began presenting. Students that didn't complete their objectives at the end of class, brought their work home to complete and present after our icebreaker in class next week.
