8th Science - Today we read and discussed section 2 of Chapter 5 Heredity in the Life Science text book which was pp. 134-140. We also got the Genetic Traits Lab sheet. That Lab sheet requires you to compare 7 traits on you and both of your parents. Do your best if you don't live with one of your parents. The point of this Lab is to do a genetic comparison to the best of your ability.

Homework 1/16/24
 
6th Religion -

6th grade Religion (about 30-40 minutes):

1. Using the following link, choose two saints who have a January feast day. (Once you follow this link, you can scroll down on the page and find a January calendar. You may choose any date in January, and you may choose two different January dates.)

 https://www.catholic.org/saints/sofd.php?date=2024-01-01 

 In your own words, write or type a short summary of the saint(s) that includes the following:

  • -  The saint’s name

  • -  The saint’s feast day

  • -  Is the saint the patron saint of anything?

  • -  What did he/she do in his/her life that makes him/her a great role model of our Catholic faith?

2. Come up with a rough draft idea for a poster for Catholic Schools Week (to be created later) with the theme “St. Norbert School is special because...” 

This work will be collected when we are back at school, so be ready to turn it in or share it with me if you did it on a Google doc.

 
6th Science - No class today!  A message from Mr. Borst for any 6th grader who has the Technology elective today: "For 6G-8G Tech elective e-learning class Tuesday 1/16 have the students continue to work on their 3D modeling as instructed on Assignment 3a Cityscapes in Google classroom."
 
7th Science - No class today, but please note that the End of Unit Assessment is coming up either on Friday or next Tuesday. We'll talk!
 
8th Science - 

  1. Complete some Science work in IXL for about 30-40 minutes https://www.ixl.com/signin/stnorbert (and then sign in with your Google account)
    I have left recommendations for what we are studying now or will study soon. You should look in your recommendations section once you are signed in.
    Do as much as you can in a 30-40 minute timeframe.
    Please try the following recommendations which are from the Amplify Natural Selection unit skill plan:

    • -  Describe populations, communities, and ecosystems

    • -  Calculate the percentage of traits in a population

    • -  Calculate the averages of traits in a population

    • -  How can animal behaviors affect reproduction and identify evidence to support a claim

    • -  Introduction to Natural Selection

  2. Natural Selection exercise: (about 30-40 minutes)

    Look out a door or a window and make observations about any living things you see.

Make a list (either on paper or a Google doc) of the type of organism (i.e. gray squirrel, cardinal, human, pine tree - don’t forget that plants are organisms too!) and how that organism has adaptive or non-adaptive traits for survival in cold weather. What behaviors does the organism display to survive in this cold environment? Be as specific in your observations as you can! We will discuss these when we are back at school, so be prepared to turn in/share your list. (You should have several organisms on your final list!)

From the Amplify glossary:
adaptive trait: a trait that makes it more likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment

non-adaptive trait: a trait that makes it less likely that an individual will survive in a specific environment

This has been on my homework page for over a week. You were given a sheet of some things to consider while studying. Also, the Key Concepts and Vocabulary in the IN (Investigation Notebook) that we have done up to this point are things that you can go over to make sure you understand. You can also always sign into the program to look at things that we have done. The Assessment (Test) has 12 multiple choice questions and 2 written response questions. I will be honest in saying that this is much more difficult than the last Science Assessment that you took, so you should definitely study. The Assessment is designed to take 45 minutes.
