  5. Communication • My email: slilly@kyrene.org • My phone: 480-541-6107 • Class web site: http://goo.gl/OjUeRW

  6. 1st Quarter Scientific Inquiry Lab Safety Measurement Cells Microlife

  7. Students use scientific processes to: • Question • Plan and conduct investigations • Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather data • Think critically and logically about relationships between evidence and explanations • Communicate results

  8. Structure and Function in Living Systems • Explain the importance of water to organisms • Describe the basic structure of a cell • Describe the function of cell parts • Differentiate between plant and animal cells

  9. MicroLife • Explain how the human body contracts and fights illnesses and diseases.

  10. 2nd Quarter Body Systems Plants

  11. Animals: Relate and describe the following structures of living organisms to their functions: Animals • Respiration – gills, lungs • Digestion – stomach, intestines • Circulation – heart, veins, arteries, capillaries • Locomotion – muscles, skeleton

  12. Animals Cont. • Describe how the nervous system interacts with these systems: • Respiration • Digestion • Circulation • Locomotion

  13. Plants: Relate and describe the following structures of living organisms to their functions • Transpiration – stomata, roots, xylem, phloem • Absorption – roots, xylem, phloem • Response to stimulus (phototropism, hydrotropism, geotropism) – roots, xylem, phloem

  14. Energy & Science and It’s Impact on Society 3rd Quarter Renewable Nonrenewable Transfer of energy

  15. Physical Science Energy • Renewable and nonrenewable resources • Ways energy can be stored and transformed • How thermal energy can be transferred

  16. Energy Continued • Compare the pros and cons of alternate energy sources and the technology behind them. • Explain why all energy sources should be conserved.

  17. Earth’s Processes and Systems 4th Quarter Describe layers of the atmosphere Structures of lakes, rivers, oceans Water cycle Weather

  18. Science in Personal and Social Perspectives • Describe the interactions between human populations, natural hazards, and the environment. • Understand the impact of technology.

  19. Grades • 80% Assessment • Tests & Quizzes • Projects • Lab Reports • 20% Class Work and Homework

  20. Our partnership this year means:

  21. I will do my part when your child is here by: • Providing structure and procedures so that he or she is confident and comfortable with daily happenings • Maintain high but reasonable expectations • Communicate with you whenever necessary or upon request from you • Provide valuable practice through homework • Strongly protect your child’s right to a challenging learning environment free from distractions and misbehavior

  22. I will need your help when your child is home by: • Supporting the classroom procedures and providing structure at home. • Letting me know if my expectations are too high, or not high enough. • Monitoring the neatness, accuracy and level of difficulty of their homework. • Communicating ANYTHING about your child that might interfere with their learning.
