2. Mrs. Salvi Agenda for January 23, 2015 Science 6: Objective: The student knows that multicellular organisms have a variety of specialized cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems that perform specialized functions. Engage: Question of the day? What kinds of tissues are in your hand? (Formative Assessment) Explore:http://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/h uman-body/skeletal-system.htm Explain: Cells are organized by the activities they perform. Similar cells that work together to perform a particular function make up tissues.Two or more tissues that work together to do a job form an organ. Each organ is part of an organ system.

3. Mrs. Salvi Agenda for January 23, 2015 Science 5: Objective: The student knows that adaptations to their environment may increase the survival of a species. Engage: Question of the Day? How do changes in ecosystems lead to changes in species? (Formative assessment) Explore: Global Warming and Arctic animals - case study Discovery Education Explain: When changes occur in an ecosystem, some organisms migrate to a place where conditions are more favorable.Species that cannot move or adapt to the changes may become extinct. Fossils give clues to survival and extinction in ecosystems of the past. Elaborate: Guiding Questions in pairs Evaluate: Guided Questions (Summative assessment)

4. Mrs. Salvi Agenda for January 23, 2015 Science 8: Objective: Describe ions and explain how they form bonds. Explain how the formulas and names of ionic compounds are written. Identify the properties of ionic compounds. Engage: Question of the day? Why do sodium and chlorine form an ionic compound? (Formative assessment) Explore: Pulling Away Electrons (Enrich) (Formative Assessment) Explain: Naming ionic compounds and their properties - positive ions come before negative ions. Ionic compounds are hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points, when dissolved in water or melted, they conduct electricity. Elaborate: Structure of ionic compounds - DE Streaming Evaluate: Review and Reinforce - Ionic Bonds (Summative assessment)
