Monday, December 3rd

STEM/STEAM:  Today in class we will worked on the Rube Goldberg Project Reflections. This is due to Google Classroom no later than Wednesday class.  We discussed the upcoming Field Trip to Universal Studios and we also signed the survey participation form for University of Florida.  We will work on the survey tomorrow in class and revisit our Rube Goldberg Posters.


6th GRADE:
Hwk: Notebooks are due Wednesday, Fieldwork Folders and Project is due by December 14th, and there is a Concept Check quiz this Friday!

Today in class we learned whey there is unequal heating of the Earth and how it affects the way the air moves and the patterns in the winds globally. We also learned about Hurricane formation and spin as well as the Coriolis Effect. With the Team Talk activity we discussed what we understood and what we could relate. Tomorrow we will write up the information in class as Classwork. Below are the links to things we saw and talked about from class today, copy and paste them into a new window to watch the videos and read the article!
