Today in class.

Today in class we discussed that science is not just a collection of facts, but rather using those facts to solve larger problems. We also talked about the most important skill a scientist uses--observation. We will expand on observations and asking questions related to observations on Monday. Students learned the difference between a scietific law and a scientific theory. All of this information was put in the notebook on p. 5.

HOMEWORK: Students should keep in mind that on Monday I will check homework. I will be looking to see that they have completed the "About the Author" on p. 1 of the notebook. Also students should answer the essential question (we answered this in class) and complete an acrostic poem using the phrase "right side" on p. 2.

We ended class with students creating a concept map about the branches of science. Few students completed this and I will not be checking p. 4 until Thursday.
