Science Lesson for 11/29

Today you will complete a virtual lab about antibiotics and household disinfectants.  I have printed the data table and journal questions for you, so don't worry about filling those out on the virtual lab.  You will turn your paper in at the end of class.  Your quiz is postponed until tomorrow.  Thank you in advance for being on your best behavior for the substitute.

If you finish early, you may do the extend and enrich box for your homework (research a disease-causing bacteria).

Colorado Content Standard:

Extension Activities for Yellowstone

After you finish your Angle of Repose Lab, you may choose an exploration from the following options.  During the activity, record answers to questions on a sheet of paper to hand in when you are finished.

Yellowstone Microorganisms in Hot Water Activity

Yellowstone Web Scavenger Hunt

Yellowstone Hot Spot Online Activity

Geyser Quest

You may also watch a video about Life in Yellowstone by going to the J drive, looking in the 7th grade science folder.  It's in a folder called videos.  It's about 30 minutes, and very interesting!  Should not be slow to stream, since I saved it on the local drive.
