4th and 5th periods

Today, students created a periodic table using cards and completed A#5.  They did all parts of the lesson including analysis, making sense, writing to learn and practice.  For most student I checked it off at the end of class, but I will initial it first thing on Monday for those who needed more time.

Today in class we finished A#4 with checking over the worksheet answers and doing the check-in question.  Then we began A#5, which we will continue during the next class period.  Students got a little start on the activity but did not finish.

Today, we looked at a visual of the Copper Cycle.  Students copied it into their notebooks.  Then students had time to finish the making sense, practice, and writing to learn for A#4.  I checked it off at the end of the period.

We reviewed A#2, looking at the data table and some of the questions.  Students answered the A#2 check in question.  Then we finished the lab for A#3.  Students were assigned the processing, practice, and writing to learn.  I will check off A#3 during the next class period.
