Station 3: Line Graph

Station 3: Line Graph How many days were tested? Which day will you have the most retention? Why do you think so? What happens after 31 days? Explain some ways you can raise the percentage after 1 day. Reflect this with your studies, what can you do differently so you won’t forget the material after 31 days.

Station 4 Read the paragraph about the eclipse. Look at Costa’s Level of Questioning. Based on the paragraph, I want you to write a Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 question. ex. Level 1: What is the scientific method. Level 2: Why is the scientific method important to keep organized information? Level 3: Imagine being a scientist, what would happen if they did not keep a detailed report of the scientific method for what they are studying.

Station 4 Paragraph With parties in campsites, small towns, rooftops and beaches along the 4200km path of totality*, the United States was briefly a nation of amateur* astronomers as they peered skyward in protective glasses to watch the moon black out the Sun. The last coast-to-coast eclipse was in 1918, long before the advent* of smartphones meant yesterday’s 91 minute solar show became the most photographed and documented event in human history. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun’s rays and plunging* part of the world into darkness during the day. An eclipse of this magnitude* provides scientists with a unique ability to study the Earth, Sun, Moon and other stars and planets.

Station 5: Read over the following questions and tell me which Level of Costa’s question is it. What is the cell?
