  1. Summer Symposium, 2011                                                     June 9, 2011 Good Afternoon,      Welcome to Where, Oh Where Has My Science Block Gone?  We will spend the next hour investigating how we can get science instruction back into our daily schedules.      What can you tell me about corona [kuh-roh-nuh]?  Please put your answer on a sticky note and place near the smartboard.                                                    Sincerely,                                                    Mike, Linda, & Becky http://2011ess.sfinstructionalresources.wikispaces.net/

  2.       One of the most puzzling features of the Sun is what has been dubbed "the solar corona problem." There is a region around the Sun, extending more than one million kilometers from its surface, where the temperature can reach two million degrees. This region, called the solar corona, is where the solar wind originates. The corona has been found to emit X-rayradiation (the corona is a plasma; at temperatures greater than a million degrees a plasma will radiate a lot of X-rays). The corona can be seen only during solar eclipses, when the main radiation from the Sun's surface is blocked by the passage of the Moon or with special instruments.

  5. Sticky Note Summary • Interactive Read-Aloud using a Non-fiction story • Read 1 - 2 pages at a time • Students reflect on what they have heard and summarize on a sticky note • Pair Share • At the end of the story, students use their sticky notes to write a paragraph that summarizes the book.
