GSD - Reflection Due Monday

Greatest Scientific Discovery Reflection

Essential Question-
From your graphic organizer choose two scientists who have different research approaches to their scientific discoveries, discuss how they both have done “good” science (what techniques or approaches did they use to be successful).

2) How have their discoveries in science and technology changed our lives and our world or allowed for future experiments?

Be sure to use constructed response format.  4-5 paragraphs would be a complete reflection.

Thursday' s Presentations - GSD

The amazing presentations continue on our second day of the Greatest Scientific Discoveries!

In the Devils Class we learned about:

• The discovery of hormones
• The finding of Pangea
• Edison and the light bulb
• Radioactivity and Marie Curie
• The discovery of the laser

 In the Tweeties Class we learned about:

• The cloning of sheep
• The cloning of frogs and discovery of stem cell research
• The small pox vaccine
• The invisibility cloak
• Franklin and electricity

 I look forward to hearing many more tomorrow!

Here is the link to the in class Google Form used to review the material we covered in Macro to Micro thus far.  Here are the answers to the in class Study Guide for the Assessment next week on the Macro to Micro Unit.  You can read the comments put together by the different groups.

Greatest Scientific Discovery Project
The following is the write up for 10 rules to good presentations.
Be sure to practice and be ready to present tomorrow!

Friday November 16th

Today in class the students had some class time to work on their Greatest Scientific Discovery Project.  They could ask questions on their research and also see a presentation by Mr. Arsenalt on how to embed a YouTube video in their Keynote presentations. 

Here is a link on how to complete the process.

Good Luck!

Thursday- Nov 8th Class Work

Wednesday Nov 7th

Today we are working through Lesson #4.  The students created and sketched ponds.  They will view these ponds over time to watch the reproduction of Lemna or duckweed, as well as the microscopic organisms that are living in this pond habitat. 

The students were also exposed to the next major project, The Greatest Scientific Discovery.  Click here for the link to the Project Page.  Students should be coming up with areas of science they are interested in to focus on a major breakthrough or discovery.  For example a student last year studied the M-11 hockey helmet.  This breakthrough was to decrease the number of concussions.  Students should think about and use the "Links" provided in the side bar of the sight to explore options.
