Hello seventh graders!
Due to M.A.P examinations on Friday, we didn't do much in class. During class we watched a few videos and we just relaxed and had fun because everyone came at different times. We watched our K'nex video once again and then we watched other interesting and fun movies about: the volcano erruption, the new satellite launched and the enormous boulder in Norway! We also had to show Ms. D that we finished highlighting the packet that had given to us on Thursday. We also got reminded about our next project! It is called: Cell Project and it is due Thursday May 13th. The directions are on Moodle and are under May 10-16th.
The link to our Science Moodle site is:

At the beginning of Tuesday's class we talked about the Cell project and Ms. D made sure that we understood everything. Then we got back our Superhero's that were outside on the bulletin board. We then went over all the different parts of Animal and Plant cells once again and then we colored in Plant and Animal cells and we learned which parts are which! After that activity we wrote some more notes in our notebooks and Kat, Viktor and Noam took notes on Google Docs. The links to each of them are:

Viktor's notes

I couldn't put up Noam's notes because I wasn't invited to her notes yet.
Today's notes were about Microscopes. We learned what microscopes are, and they are instruments that make small objects look bigger! We then wrote down:
Simple Microscope:
-only one lens is used
Compoung Microscope:
-uses more than one lens
-magnifies more!
Electron microscope:
-usess electrons
-amazing image - Resolution - sharpness or clearness and clarity of image

Later on, instead of writing and copying from the board, we were passed out a packet about microscopes. This packet is also on Moodle. It is under the same category as the directions to the Cell Project!
All in all, in these two classes we covered more about parts of cells and we learned about microscopes as well! These two concepts that we learned more about relate to everyday life because first of all, cells are parts of human beings and we are human beings all our life! Everything we see that is alive has cells in it! Microscopes relate to everyday life because with them we discovered many new ideas and we will continue to in the future!!!
The next scribe is.... CiPrIaN!!!! :=)
Dear Iva :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for puting a lot of time into your scribe post! Due to the time investement, your whole post looks very "bright"(interesting to view). First, I would like to compliment you on the structure, which for me is the main key for a good grade on the Scribe Post. Your structure is well organized and set into such a way, that it was already easy for you to place some pictures and set a colorful font. So, concluding everything I've said about the visual of your post - you've done a great job! On the scientific relation - great job too! You have posted a lot of links which were relative to science and they are very helpful to the ones that weren't in school that day :) So, in general, I would like to say that this post was well organized and it is worth a solid A :)
P.S. For even better post(I'm not saying you have something bad...:) check out some 8th grade Scribe Posts!
Severyn :)
Hey Iva,
ReplyDeleteGood job with your blog! I think you did a good job of summing up the clas. The microscope picture + description, I'm sure, is going to be very helpful to all of your classmates. The only thing I recommend is to maybe elaborate on what the links were about.

Hi Iva,
ReplyDeleteI can see that you have worked a lot on this scribe post, because it gives so much information and is so correct! I like thie picture of the microscope, and I loved the picture of the Norweigian boulder!! The links were very helpful, but you could have moved your pictures around a bit because the text was hard to see at some places. Also, you could have used even more colors.
All in all though, excellent job!!!
Iva - this is a very thorough post you have here. You have covered everything we did during class, and most of it with depth. Good opening picture and I like the image you have included of the microscope. You could have gone into more detail about the differnt parts of the microscope and what they do. Nice work with the links - although Kat and Viktor's notes both link to Kat's notes only. Nice use of color - not too much and not too little. Thanks for including a real-life relationship - you are one of the first people to remember to do this. Well done overall. ~ Ms. D.
