19. Warm-up: Warm-ups are short questions given at the start of each day’s class. Students will be responsible to record the question and a logical answer in their Science notebook. Warm-ups always are answered on a Left page in the notebook. These questions are graded for completion. There is no warm up today Tomorrow: plan on sitting in groups of four Page n/a Monday July 20, 2015 Learning goal: Know how current knowledge compares with the expectations of this course and estimate the work load needed to succeed. 4 Contrast application 3 Contrast differences 2 Identify new content 1 Complete pre test

Learning scale: Students will be responsible for copying the “Leaning goal” and “Learning scale” notebooks, at the beginning of each unit. Student’s self-evaluation: Complete at home or at the end of class, use the 4-3-2-1 Learning scale. The Evaluation is a two to three sentence summary of the day’s lesson and your own successes or difficulties with the content and application. The self-evaluation will be written under the “warm-up” objective. Homework: Spiral bound notebook. “Learning Scale” 1234 Complete the pre test Complete the pre test and identify new content versus existing knowledge Contrast the differences in content from past years to this year Contrast the differences in application of concepts “Learning goal”
