12. 9/5/2013 Daily Objective 7.1A, 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5A : We will investigate leaf structures that are necessary for photosynthesis and look at microscope parts. Wrap Up: During a drought, plants need to keep in as much water as possible. Do you think their stomata are open or closed?

13. 9/6/2013 Daily Objective 7.4A, 7.5A: We will demonstrate what we have learned about photosynthesis. Wrap Up: What would happen if the process of photosynthesis stopped?

14. 9/9/2013 Daily Objective 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5A: We will learn about energy cycles by setting up a compost column. Wrap Up: What do you predict will happen to the biomass in the compost column?

15. 9/10/2013 Daily Objective 7.5: We will explain the cycling of matter and diagram food chains, webs and pyramids. Turn in your signed grade sheets. Wrap Up: How does energy get transferred from one level to another in an ecosystem?

16. 9/11/2013 Daily Objective 7.5: We will identify producers and consumers and diagram the flow of energy through food webs. Wrap Up: How are food webs different from food chains?

17. 9/12/2013 Daily Objective 7.5: We will diagram the flow of energy through pyramids and food webs. Wrap Up: When living things die, or we throw away food, what happens to the energy trapped in that matter?

18. 9/13/2013 Daily Objective: We will organize and turn in our science binders for a quiz grade. Wrap Up: Do you think keeping a binder will help you this year?

19. 9/16/2013 Daily Objective 7.1A, 7.2C, 7.4A, 7.5B, C: We will demonstrate the decrease in available energy in an ecosystem Wrap Up: What happens to most of the energy in a living organism when it dies or is eaten?

20. 9/17/2013 Daily Objective 7.5B, C: We will diagram the flow of energy through living systems including food chains, webs, and pyramids. Turn in signed grade sheets Wrap Up: Why are decomposers so important for any ecosystem?

21. 9/18/2013 Daily Objective 7.5B, C: We will diagram the flow of energy through living systems including food chains, webs, and pyramids. Wrap Up: Describe how a secondary consumer is dependent on the sun for its energy?

22. 9/19/2013 Daily Objective 7.5B, C: We will learn about forces that affect motion in plants and animals. Wrap Up: List at least three different forces that can act on a plant.

23. 9/20/2013 Daily Objective 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.7: We will demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in plants. Wrap Up: If a force acting on a plant causes motion, is work being done?

24. 9/23/2013 Daily Objective 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.7: We will demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in plants. Wrap Up: List one interesting thing you discovered from the plant labs.

25. 9/24/2013 Daily Objective 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, 7.7: We will demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in plants. Wrap Up: Diagram how you think a plant would grow if it were kept upside down.

26. 9/25/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will learn about the science definition of work. Wrap Up: If you hold a weight over your head for 2 hours without the weight moving, are you doing work?

27. 9/26/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will compare the amount of work done by moving an object with and without a ramp. Wrap Up: If you had to push a heavy object up a ramp, would you rather have a long or short ramp?

28. 9/27/2013 Daily Objective 7.7: We will compare situations in which work is or is not done using cartoons. Wrap Up: Does applying a force always cause an object to move?
