april 4 block 7/8

1. Thermal expansion and contraction:
- we talked about pot holes and how they form
- we tried to get the metal ring off of the metal ball by using heat and ice to expand and contract the metals - We still didn't get it off! More to come on this

2. Students got 1/2 block to organize their binders and catch up on any missing work.

3. 2nd half of the block we found evidence of learning in our newly organized binders and used our "i can" statements on stickies to showcase this learning.

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.
