Grade 7 SCIENCE: Grade 7 SCIENCE

Ms. Rodrigues' Instructions

Tuesday's Class
Hi Class. 
After the substitute takes attendance, they will take you to the library. At the library, Ms. Tanguay is presenting you a lesson on SOURCES OF INFORMATION. The lesson includes a review and practice of CART in addition to showing you science databases/encyclopedias that are available to you.

I expect you to hand in:
1) Double sided “CART” handout (on paper). One side is filled out during the activity Ms. Tanguay does with you. The other side is filled out for two of the sources that you have already used in your research.

2) Added to your research/notes page (in Google Doc): Notes about your cell part structure and function taken from a science database or encyclopedia. 

Any extra time, you can continue work on your presentation.
Remember, you will be hanging up your QR codes on Thursday during class.
