Tree ID (8/25-8/26)

For your Potpourri project you will be doing some Tree Identification, so let's practice in class!

1. Add page 5-6 to your notebook.

• In the table of contest, write 5-6 to the left of the margin, and the page title "Potpourri Project & Tree ID" to the right of the margin.
• Turn to pages 5-6 in your notebook.  Write the page numbers on the appropriate pages, and title the pages "Potpourri Project & Tree ID"

2. Pick one leaf to start with.  You will do the other leaf next.
3. On the LEFT hand side (page 5), write down 5 things you notice about the leaf.  Use your senses to help you: sight, touch, smell... (these are observations)
4.  Sketch a picture of the leaf underneath your 5 observations.
5. Now you are going to use your observations to identify the trees.  Click on the links below to open digital versions of Tree Identification booklets, or use the booklets at your table.  Scroll through the booklets until you find the tree that matches your leaf.

ARBOR DAY TREE BOOKLET

6. Write the Common name, and Scientific name for your tree underneath your illustration.
7.  Repeat the above steps for the second leaf
8.  On the RIGHT hand side (page 6) tape in your Potpourri Project rubric (so you won't lose it!) and begin brainstorming for your Potpourri project on page 5. Make sure the options you select add up to 100 points! 

What's Your Learning Style? (8/25-8/26)

Did you know that there are different ways that people learn?  They are called Learning Styles, and there are three types: Visual, Auditory, and Tactile. Knowing your Learning Style can help you figure out the best ways to learn and study. In Science Class you will have some assignments that allow you to choose the activity based on YOUR Learning Style.  Today you are going to take a simple 20 question quiz to figure out your learning style.  

Step 1.  Click HERE to go to the quiz

Step 2. Click on "Answer the 20 Questions" to take the quiz.  As you take the quiz, try not to over-think your answers - there is no right or wrong answer!

Step 3.  When you get to your results, record your learning style in your notebook on page 4 (RIGHT side).  Keep in mind that many people use a combination of learning styles - go with whichever one you score highest.  If you have a tie that is OK!  Write them both. 

Step 4.  Use the tips in your results, or try googling "Learning Style Strategies" to find tips for your learning style.    Write FIVE tips for your learning style in your notebook on the RIGHT side.

Step 5.  Find a fellow peer with your learning style;  share your FIVE tips with that person, then add one of their tips to your notebook (make sure it is different than one of the five you have already recorded).

Step 6.  Continue talking with other peers from your learning style and jotting down tips until you have TEN total. 

Step 7.  On the LEFT side (page 3) pick one of the left side activities (page 1 of your notebook) and complete it for your learning style (for example, draw a picture of yourself doing one of your tips, or create a venn-diagram organizing your tips into things you can do in the classroom, things you can do at home, and both).

Finished early?  Take this quiz on Multiple Intelligence!
