9/17:Quiz,Alien project, and Watching buffaloes get mad at lions

In Class:

We started today's class by turning in our homework which was UP 43-45. And then we got our Annalyzing Data: Population Trends, UP 39-42 back.We weren't able to go outside for Lab 58 because it was raining in the morning and so Mrs. Stein's morning classes weren't able to go then, and Mrs. Stein wants all the classes to be at the same place. But we WILL be going outside tomorrow and doing the Lab. Then we asked questions that we had about the quiz that we were about to take. After the questions were answered we took the quiz.

After we took the quiz Mrs. Stein explained to us about the Alien poster that we will be doing as an individual project. The project is to make a "most wanted" poster for a problem alien species. The project format and the lists of alien species that you can choose from is on UP pgs. 27 and 28. You can email Mrs. Stein or talk to her about what alien species you would like to choose. It is a first come first serve issue and there can only be 2 people assigned to an alien species so hurry and tell her! If you would like to a different alien species that is not listed on the UP pages then you can just let Mrs.Stein know that.

Then we talked about an oppurtunity to get some extra credit by going to the grove on 9/25. You go there and help cut buckthorns. You show Mrs. Stein that you were there by 2 different ways. One way you can show her is by taking a picture and photo shopping your face out of it and writing a little caption about your experience there. The other way is by taking a video WITHOUT your face in it but you talking in the video.

After we looked at the alien poster we saw a video called the Battle at Kruger. Which basically showed buffaloes, lions, and a crocodile fighting. The video is below.




Homework:

Read 6.3 and do cornelle notes for the section due Monday( if you need to see an example it is on our blog)
Oil spill movie due 9/23
Alien poster due 9/27
Extra credit 9/25

The next scribe will be Tara.
