How can I help build the best education for myself? Daily Plans, 4th block: Tuesday, 3 November

Happy Tuesday AVID Family!

*******************************

Homework: Parent Night on 5 November from 6-8pm! 

*******************************

Big Idea: Everything is related in some way

Essential Question: How can I help build the best education for myself?

Objectives: I can...

...draw conclusions from summaries and diagrams showing scientific research.
...share my group's accomplishments so far.
...provide and use feedback from other groups.
...organize and revise my work.

********************************

1) Warm Up: Parent Night Grading (Until 1:27)

1. Open the document here.
2. Read what you need to do to get a 100 on your Parent Night work.
3. Write a sticky note of things you have left to do to earn a 100. Be sure to include what you need to do if you cannot come to actual Parent Night. 

2) Graph and Diagram Reading (Until 1:40)

1. Read the information about the science experiment.
• In acidic soils plants don't always get enough magnesium (Mg). Scientists want to know if they can fertilize magnesium starved plants by adding fertilizer to the leaves or if the fertilizer must be absorbed by the roots of the plants. SPAD is the measurement of how much chlorophyll (food making organelles in plants) are present. A higher SPAD number is better. SE is standard error (how precise the SPAD measurements are).
2. Use the table and labeled diagram below to see if you can figure out what the scientists may have concluded. 
3. Compare your conclusion to the annotated version of the abstract (summary of the lab) and see if you were right!
