I hope everyone has a wonderful break! Don't forget that there are 4 short probes on discoveryeducation.com that will be due the Friday of the week we return (4/3/15). The username is the same one that you use to login during benchmark testing and the password for everyone is welcome1.
When we return from break, we will begin working on the IB summative project for the unit on Earth's Systems. In this project students will demonstrate their understanding of our statement of inquiry - Interactions between Earth's systems help to maintain environmental balance, and are understood through the use of models. The IB objectives that you will be evaluated on will be:
Criterion B
i: Outline an appropriate problem or research question to be tested by a scientific investigation
ii: Outline a testable prediction using scientific reasoning
Criterion C
i: Present collected and transformed data
ii. Interpret data and outline results using scientific reasoning
Students will accomplish this with the attached activity

The materials listed are just suggestions. Over break, I am asking that each small group think about what materials they will want to use, and begin to gather them to bring in on Monday. If you think you need something that we might already have in the science lab, email me to ask.
