6th Grade Week of 5/4-5/11

Hangouts will be at our normal time Tuesday and Thursday.  I will be discussing the projects more at that time.
Assignments:
Natural Disaster Project: Due 5/11
Using the natural disaster that was assigned to you complete the following:

• What was the impact on the ecosystem 
• Are there safety precautions the community took or could have taken before/during/after the event
• Describe the event itself
• How did  others help the community after the event or what could have been done better to help those in need.

You may make a video or a Keynote for this project.  Some of you turned in a paper last week.  I did not need that for a grade, but you will need it to complete the assignment.  If you do a video, you may have to break it down into multiple shorter videos  in order to send it to me.

Exam Project:
For the last few weeks you are going to work on an ABC project.  Each letter must be a word that relates to something in science that you have learned this year.  This should be done using Keynote or it may be done on paper. Each slide/page should include the following:

• Letter your page is about
• Word/phrase associated with that letter
• 2-4 sentences about the word/phrase
• Picture to match the word/description
• The word used in a creative sentence ( not just the definition).  For example: did we do an activity with it, what you learned
• Each slide slide/page must have a background or color
• Use a font that is easy to read and a size that is large enough to read-remember I’m old.

Use correct grammar and spelling

Letters A-L are due by 5/11
Final Project Due: 5/18
