  6. Scientific Inquiry • The 6 steps to inquiry • ID Problem or Ask a question that will be answered through experimentation • Research • Form a Hypothesis • Perform experiment • Analyze Results • Conclusion • Required Science Fair in May - date TBA

  7. Interactive Science Notebook • The key to 7th and 8th Grade Science success! • Research has shown that writing notes is more effective than just reading information. • Students will take detailed notes, do a lot of drawings and models, and keep a Table of Contents

  8. Remind • Start a new message to: 81010 • Text the Message: @mskadot • Confidential, DO NOT need the app!

  9. Discovery Education • Online textbook • 1:1 technology from district • MUST use DVUSD Portal to access

  10. Gizmos • Explore learning online lab simulations • Account info written inside notebook

  11. NewsELA • Scientific articles • Through Canvas on Portal

  12. Boom Cards • “Flashcard” like resource • Account info written inside notebook

  13. Assessments & Retakes • 3 Required district tests may not be retaken and will be a gradebook grade • Semester 1 final (grade) • Science and Engineering Practices • Semester 2 final (grade) • Quizzes and chapter tests may be retaken once • End of Unit tests may not be retaken
