Science 6

-We had a good discussion about the importance of learning to take good notes.  It is a skill that students should be working on.   The focus is not on memorizing but on science literacy and being able to seek out answers to questions.  Students should take care to keep their notes complete and organized.  We stressed the importance of underlining or highlighting new and important words.  Students may also want to identify key words in their notes so that it is quick and easy to find them when needed.

-Students are working on a video to show how to correctly use a microscope.  They were given time in class today to start their script.  Make use of your notes to use the correct vocabulary in your video.  We will have time to work on this next class.
