Plant Reproduction and Plotting Coordinates

Math:

Students reviewed plotting coordinates (x, y) and if they plotted accurately they discovered the image of a smiling sun.

We have also learned the Transformations of rigid 2D shapes including translation, reflection and rotation. Today we practiced these skills and tomorrow we will do a Transformation Challenge.

Students who have missed class are encouraged to watch Khan Academy Introduction to Transformations and to try a few practice problems to be sure they understand the three types of transformations.

Science:

This week students have been learning about seed plant reproduction by watching Bill Nye Flowers, having class discussions and taking notes during the plant reproduction presentation.

Tomorrow they will play Plickers and label a diagram of a seed and a flower as well as answering an application question about seed plant reproduction. We will then learn about vegetative reproduction and the role humans can play in plant reproduction.
