***Blog Question of the Day: What did you enjoy learning about the most this week in science and why?

Be specific.Send your answer to Mr. Limpert and a special prize may be waiting for you on the next day during class. Good Luck!

 Pink Start-Up Chart Continues Today!

Pink Start-Up Chart Box#10  Today in class!

***6-B Science Start-Up Chart Daily Question/Answer…Don’t forget the daily, new and recent question to write in your box on your chart and then to answer it. ***You are now required to write out the new question, the letter of the correct answer and the full answer in your boxes for the Pink start-up chart. Remember, you will have a 3 minute time period to complete the start-up question of the day before we will disucss it. If you miss a day or miss some questions, it is your responsibility to come to me, to check with one of your classmates, or to see me during homeroom to get the question you missed so you can complete it. Blank boxes are incorrect boxes when these charts are collected and checked! Writing the old question correct letter and the answer  in your box is bonus!  We will discuss the answer to this question each day.  Every day we complete the next numbered box.  It is your responsibility to keep this chart in the front of your binder so you can access it each day…At the end of the 20 boxes these charts will be collected for a major grade!  Then, we move on to the next chart…Pink is the new color of choice for these charts!

***Enjoy your Star Science Prizes!!!

***Homework for Wednesday  for Team 6-B Science Classes:

1. Work ahead, if you would like to, using your textbook pages , on your weather levels packet-Air mass and Fronts Section(parts three and four) !!!This will give you bonus to start out the new 4th nine weeks grades and will give you the opportunity to possibly exempt future work and assignments!

2. Make sure the cloud section of your weather packet is all complete by Wednesday.  That includes questions, descriptions, and drawinga for the clouds…

3. Bring red and blue markers, colored pencils, or crayons to class for tomorrow!

****To help us prepare for the CRCT Test in science, these are the key words we will be using, modeling, and discussing in class to help us get ready…Students who use these correctly in their work and or in class, could earn Maverick Money. So check em out, print, em out, and use them…

***Blog Question of the Day:Tell me something you learned about cirrus, cumulus, cumulonimbus, and stratus clouds today…

Be specific.Send your answer to Mr. Limpert and a special prize may be waiting for you on the next day during class. Good Luck!

 Pink Start-Up Chart Continues Today!

Pink Start-Up Chart Box#8  Today in class!

***6-B Science Start-Up Chart Daily Question/Answer…Don’t forget the daily, new and recent question to write in your box on your chart and then to answer it. ***You are now required to write out the new question, the letter of the correct answer and the full answer in your boxes for the Pink start-up chart. Remember, you will have a 3 minute time period to complete the start-up question of the day before we will disucss it. If you miss a day or miss some questions, it is your responsibility to come to me, to check with one of your classmates, or to see me during homeroom to get the question you missed so you can complete it. Blank boxes are incorrect boxes when these charts are collected and checked! Writing the old question correct letter and the answer  in your box is bonus!  We will discuss the answer to this question each day.  Every day we complete the next numbered box.  It is your responsibility to keep this chart in the front of your binder so you can access it each day…At the end of the 20 boxes these charts will be collected for a major grade!  Then, we move on to the next chart…Pink is the new color of choice for these charts!

New topics coming up next in 6-B Science

Global Winds

Best Weather Project Graphing of 5 Cities

Forecasting the Weather

Cheerleading Pyramid-Air pressure greater at surface of Earth…Air pressure increases closer to Earth’s surface. The people at the bottom of this pyramid can feel all the weight and pressure of the people on top.

Sea breezes-Local winds-During the day, air over the ocean is cooler and forms high pressure. The cool air flows to the land, producing a sea breeze.

Weekly forecast

Tornadoes

Air pressure readings on a map

Unequal heating of Earth’s surface-Warm, less dense air rises at the equator(low pressure) and flows towards the poles.. At the poles, air is colder and denser, so it sinks.? This creates high pressure around the poles and this cold, polar air flows toward the equator.

***Blog Question of the Day:How did you feel about today’s test?

Be specific.Send your answer to Mr. Limpert and a special prize may be waiting for you on the next day during class.? Good Luck!

 Pink Start-Up Chart Continues Today!

Pink?Start-Up Chart Box#6 Today?in class!

***6-B Science Start-Up Chart Daily Question/Answer…Don’t forget the daily, new and recent question to write in your box on your chart and then to answer it. ***You are now required to write out the new question, the letter of the correct answer and the full answer in your boxes for the Pink start-up chart. Remember, you will have a 3 minute time period to complete the start-up question of the day before we will disucss it. If you miss a day or miss some questions, it is your responsibility to come to me, to check with one of your classmates, or to see me during homeroom to get the question you missed so you can complete it. Blank boxes are incorrect boxes when these charts are collected and checked! Writing the old question correct letter and the answer  in your box is bonus!  We will discuss the answer to this question each day.  Every day we complete the next numbered box.  It is your responsibility to keep this chart in the front of your binder so you can access it each day…At the end of the 20 boxes these charts will be collected for a major grade!  Then, we move on to the next chart…Pink is the new color of choice for these charts!

??Helpful Hints/Reminders :

******Bring your Agenda each day and use it…Write your homework for every class each day and if you don’t have homework, write no homework in the section.***Parents, please make sure are checking and reviewing your student’s agenda pages each night. Using your agenda successfully, may earn you Maverick Money. Yeah!

******Use your homeroom time wisley..finish homework, work ahead, read a book. Use it as a study hall or a quiet working environment.

******Pinnacle is up and running so parents should now be able to access this to check your student’s progress and grades in all of their classes. Please keep an eye to this so you know how your son/daughter is doing in all their classes.

***Advisement Family Groups continues Tuesday, March 9th-Service project week

Upcoming Events

Thursday, March 11th-End of third grading period

Also, the first Friday of every month is a hat day at McClure. The students may pay a minimum of $1.00 to wear a hat. A sticker must be purchased in the morning, and it must be put on the hat in order for the hat to be worn. All donations collected will go to the flood relief effort.
