Task 2 -
We are piloting a program (testing it out) to see if this is something we want to have available to us next year.  We just completed an ecosystem unit and so I want you to compare what we did to the program below.  This program is just about food webs.

I want you to keep 5 things in mind:
1) Do you like the program?
2) How easy is the program to use?
3) Do you think you would learn more using this program than not using this program (is it useful)?
4) How much help would you need to complete the program?
5) Would you prefer to do this with a partner, but working on seperate computers or by yourself?

For those who did not get a notes sheet on Wednesday, June 5, from the sub, please do those notes first.  Ms. Byles has them for you.  If you need to make up centers from June 6, please do those as well.  You are expected to have completed 3 centers.  Please do that work first !!!!

I know a few (and I literally mean 3 people) have finished all the work from when I was gone last AND turned it in.  For those that have, you can skip over the June 5 notes and centers and move onto the work for today.

New Work - June 10, 2013

Activity 1
PowerPoint for test review - Click Here.
Just go through it to make sure you are cool for tomorrow.  Write down any questions you have.  

Activity 2
Write 3 questions you think would be on the test and answer them.

Activity 3 - Click Here
Choose a webquest that would be of interest to you.  Some we have done, most we have not.  I am going to allow for your class to choose the next unit.  Please look at least 3 different webquests and decide if it is something you are interested.  Please tell me the webquests you looked at and whether or not you think we should do that.  I expect 1 paragraph (4-6 sentences) about each webquest you look at and why or why not we should do it.

Please note-ignore the grade levels, they are based on Utah Standards so they don't apply to us.

Example (we already did this webquest):
I really like the Phases of the Moon webquest.  The reason I liked this webquest is becuase I have always been interested in how we see the moon change.  It has never made complete sense to me and so I want to learn about it.  I looked at the webquest and it seems like I could do this work.  It will challenge me, but it is interesting and exciting.
