WELCOME TO OUR COUNTDOWN TO SUMMER VACATION

WHILE YOU WERE GONE......
We celebrated St. Patrick's day, there was a run of man o'wars on the beaches at Surfside, we had a front come in and take away what we thought was the beginning of our warm weather trend, and Sunday was the official first day of spring.  From here on, the hours of daylight will increase and dark hours will decrease until summer.

NOW LET'S GET BUSY - we only have 9 weeks left........
Visit stations today and tomorrow to review photosynthesis.  As you complete each station, you must check in with your teacher to make sure your work is complete.  Each station should take 20 minutes - we will guide you to let you know when time is almost up and when it's time to move to the next station.

STATION ONE / I-PAD ACTIVITY or BLACK NETBOOKS:
* At this station, you will complete ALL the screens on the website titled
   PHOTOSYNTHESIS: SCIENCE LESSON
* This is to be done either at the side computer bar or the back counter and with a partner.
* You will write your results on page 34?? of your journal following the "cheat sheet" at each computer.

STATION TWO / SMART BOARD ACTIVITY:
* Watch the brainpop on PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
* Once that is complete, play the game titled
   CLOSE KNIT NEIGHBORS
* You and the group you are with will complete the photosynthesis quiz (select one person for 'pen control').  Talk together before the pen-control team member clicks the selected answer. Once all answers are submitted, make sure you call your teacher to record your group's score.

STATION THREE / ART STATION:
* At this station, use the model layout to create a photosynthesis cartoon comic strip.  Each person should take one piece of paper and complete their own cartoon.
* You must include the labels you see, using all labels but each only one tim
* You must draw the cartoon to show the sequence of your labels.  These must be correct based on the steps of photosynthesis.
* THIS IS THE ONLY PART OF TODAY'S ACTIVITY THAT COULD GO HOME WITH YOU ON TUESDAY SHOULD YOU NOT BE FINISHED IN CLASS.

WRAP IT UP.....

WOOLYBURGER LAB continued....

Natural Selection = 
        Survival of the Fittest
read this article then continue....

Background:  You and your team are crewmembers on the Beagle in 1831.  Darwin has asked your team to assist him in collecting data on a strange and unusual bird that he has discovered on the Galapagos Islands.  He has called this bird the woolybooger.  Darwin and your team search the islands and find three different populations of this creature.    During your observations of these three populations, you discover that each group is similar in appearance except for mouth variations.  Some woolyboogers have a knife-shaped mouth, some have a clip-shaped mouth, and some have a tweezer-shaped mouth.  All of the birds have migrated to an island that only has dried beans for them too eat and the hours of daylight needed for finding food is steadily decreasing due to the change in seasons.

            Darwin and your team study the woolybooger’s life on the Galapagos Islands.  During your last few months on the islands, you discover a new rare woolybooger, which has a spoon-shaped mouth.  On the Beagle, Darwin and your team discuss which beak type of woolybooger will survive the best on the island and how the population of woolyboogers will change over time or evolve. 

With this in mind, click (HERE) to fill in your results from Friday's lab.  Be sure to hit submit when you are done.
