March 13 and 14th Blocks 3/4 and 7/8

1. How do vaccines work video: https://youtu.be/rb7TVW77ZCs

2. parts of a virus video: https://youtu.be/L8oHs7G_syI

3. Build a virus model: first we planned it out and made sure we had all of the parts (genetic material, capsid and envelope) then you got air dry clay and modelling clay and made your own virus.

4. You had to answer 3 questions about your virus:
- How will your virus 'get in' the body?
- What disease will it cause? BE CREATIVE, make up a unique one
- Is it curable? or is there a vaccine for it?

5. We also watched a movie while doing this activity.

1. Video's: https://youtu.be/kE8I_M2pyg8 https://youtu.be/yuOzZ7dnPNU 2. Ms. Carey's math class and Dana's science class joined forces today to do our Density Lab. - we measured the length, width and height of rectangular prisms and use either digital or balance scales to measure the mass Density = Mass / Volume We measure Mass in grams We measure volume in cm3 (cubed) 3. We talked about thermal expansion and contraction and Dana demonstrated the ring and ball. At first the ball does not go through the ring, but after heating the ring. The ball fits.....Why? Then the ball got stuck and students proposed how to get the ball out of the ring. 4. We cleaned our our binders out and you were each given 4 sticky notes. On the sticky notes you were using the prompts: I learned.... I can..... I liked this because... or any other one These sticky notes were then placed on the EVIDENCE of learning in your newly organized binder. ...
