Today students were given the Criteria Chart and Rubric for their BIO-PROJECT, which we have been working towards for the last two weeks.
BIO-PROJECT HANDOUT
In class they created their personal chart or graph about their family, and finalized any other documents, so they can print these in class tomorrow.
Please note that all documents will be able to be printed at school in black and white. For those who wish to use color they should do this at home tonight, as we will begin assembling their posters tomorrow! Posters will be due MONDAY 24th September!

FinishingTimelines
Today students finished their timelines in Google Drawings (see instructions on yesterdays post). They were also able to add in 5 world events along with their personal events, by accessing Wikipedia.
I also introduced the chart/graph they will be doing next Tuesday in Google Sheets. They should be prepared next week to make a graph or chart about their family.
Examples could be family members choices of favorite ice cream/cookie/pizza/movie; color of eyes/hair of family members; or ages of people living at home.

BIO TIMELINES
Today we learnt to create a timeline using Google Drawings. Students had to record 5 events that have been part of their own life on the timeline (ex: Birthdate, Started at Hedrick, First pet).
They also had to record 5 world events that have happened during their lifetime, that they consider to be important. To do this, they searched on Wikipedia (ex: type in Wikipedia 2016, search for an event). Then inserted the information into the timeline
These have been saved in their Google drive to access again, and work from any internet connected device.

Creating a LIFE MAP
Today students used Google Earth to create a LIFE MAP.
They learnt how to drop thumbtacks on different locations, and had to create a single sentence about why that location is important to them (They had to actually have been there... not a dream destination).
Each student dropped 5 thumbtacks and then was able to print their map. This will be used next week to create a BIO-POSTER.
For help on dropping thumbtacks here is a video link:

Google Earth
Today students completed their Google Earth Assignment #1. We had started this last week, and today students spent time again in the lab finishing it.
Once they had done they started practicing dropping thumbtacks on their maps, of places that are important to them.
Any students who did not complete this worksheet in class, should visit the media lab at school to finish, or complete at home if the internet is available.
