Building Pop Bottle Ecosystems and Order of Operations

Announcements:

• Tomorrow is Halloween there will be a Halloween Dance along with other fun activity options during the last period. Students are allowed to dress up as long as they are not wearing masks and their costumes are not too violent or in any way derogatory towards other students.

Math:

We reviewed Order of Operations (BEDMAS) and practiced problems in groups. Tomorrow we will continue to work on this skill with a special Halloween Math activity!

Science:

We have been building Pop Bottle Ecosystems this week. 

Thanks to all students who brought in 2L pop bottles for this project. 

Also, special thanks to Ms. Chow for finding us snails, aquatic plants, and grass seed to perfect the ecosystems. 

Students will make observations for the next few weeks and will measure how well the grass seed grows. 

Math connection: they will have the opportunity to graph the grass growth. 

This project will re-emphasize the importance of each part of the ecosystem and the interconnectedness between abiotic and biotic components.
