Part 1: Definitions
- These are the vocabulary words we worked for Unit 7 Part II.
- Please do the following
- Find the definition for each word.
- Use the definition, correctly, in a sentence.
- Draw a image or picture that helps explain the word.
- There are about 40 words, so you only have to do 8 or 9 a day.
- This should be completed and sent to bartlett@wcskids.net by Saturday, May 02.
Part 2: One-Page Paper
-
When you are done with vocabulary, pick one word and write a one-page paper on that word.
- The first paragraph should include the definition and a final sentence that connects the definition to the second paragraph.
- The second paragraph should be about why we care about this particular word.
- So maybe something line, "We might use this word in the following way..." Or, "This word is valuable because we use it in the following way..."
- You will then write a paragraph about how the vocabulary word is used. Feel free to give examples.
- The third and last paragraph should be about why you choose the word.
- Your paper should be sent to bartlett@wcskids.net before Monday, May 04.
- Make sure you try the activity associated with these words.
Part 3: Moraine Activity
- One of our words this week is moraine. It is featured in our activity for the week.
- First make sure you know what a Moraine is.
- An ice cube can represent your glacier.
- Make some colored salt.
- Two ways to do it:
- One make a pile of salt, dump food color on it and let it sit out until it dries
- Or put food color in boiling water. Add a handful of salt. When the water boils away you will have colored salt.
- Two ways to do it:
- The colored salt will be your dirt
- I know you could just use dirt but mixing salt and food color lets you explore other words like, suspension, and saturation.
- Create a moraine, take a picture with each item labeled.
- When you are done take a picture and send it to bartlett@wcskids.net.
Enjoy Week 3!!!
