I am placing new resources and challenges there each week. This week check out the tab on Native American storytelling and the tab on Infographics.Native peoples lived in the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years. However, beginning in 1543, sailing technology had advanced sufficiently to bring the first European explorers to the Pacific coast. By 1792 Spanish, British, Russian, and American sea explorers had closely explored, mapped, and charted the inland waterways from Puget Sound through the Inland Passage to Alaska. Read this HistoryLink article "Exploration in the Pacific Northwest Before the American Presence" In OneNote, please answer these questions about these sea explorers.Who were they? For what country did they sail and when? Write down two important details about each. Which one or two do you think had the greatest impact on the Pacific Northwest?Juan PerezJuan Bodega y QuadraJames CookGeorge VancouverVitus BeringJuan de FucaBartolomo FerreloSocial StudiesMrs. Jones 7th Social Studies and Washington State History: Mrs. Jones’ Office Hours: 1:00-2:00 pmMJones@Students, this week we will focus on explorers who came to the Pacific Northwest in the 1500s to the 1800s after thousands of years of Native Americans living here. I am including notes from our text, Chapter 4 for you to read. Use these notes to help with your timeline assignment below. reading the notes above, your assignment is to complete an illustrated timeline of the events and dates in chronological order. Make sure to include the dates as well as descriptions of the events, but also color illustrations. Make sure it is accurate, creative, neat, and organized. THIS IS A LONGER ASSIGNMENT, YOU WILL HAVE 2 WEEKS TO COMPLETE IT. This means that you will not receive a new assignment on May 11—this assignment is for the weeks of May 4 and May 11.

If there are any questions or concerns please contact me by email.veblacas@ This Week’s 7th Grade Science Work: 7th Grade Science – Chapter 4: Science Seminar - Week of May 4th – May 8th, 2020To help minimize work but have it still be meaningful, we have created a “Summary” page for students to complete. It contains the Unit’s Phenomenon question which relates to a real-world scenario. It will also show the Unit, Chapter, and Investigation questions that will help guide us to answering that phenomenon question ??by the time we get to the end of the unit. Click here to access the lesson documents and the Summary Page for the week ? **** Follow-up from last week. Use the following response to check your work from last week’s summary page. Here is the explanation for last week's Chapter 3 Question; Rust and sodium nitrite were produced during the reaction between the iron pipes and the fertilizer. In a chemical reaction atoms cannot be destroyed, therefore, all of the atoms must rearrange to form products. Some of the atoms rearranged to form rust and the remaining atoms must have rearranged to form another product. Sodium nitrite is made out of one sodium atom, one nitrogen atom, and two oxygen atoms. These are the same type of atoms that made up the fertilizer.**** This week we will be completing Chapter 4: Science Seminar, Lessons 4.1 – Lesson 4.4-On the pages following the Summary Page, you’ll see readings, data, and pictures from SIMs and modeling activities to use as evidence to help answer the Investigation and the Chapter questions on the Summary Page. I have included enough information to complete the summary page without needing to access Amplify online.-If you have access to Amplify online, it may be fun to complete the simulations yourself. The online Amplify activities are not required but some students may find them useful in answering the Summary Page-If you have access to Amplify Online please complete Lesson 4.4; “End-of-Unit Assessment”. It doesn’t count towards your grade but it will allow me to see the progress you made in your understanding.-By the end of the week, please complete and turn-in the “Summary” page. This is your evidence of understanding for the Chapter and what you will get credit for. It’s what will be entered into Skyward.

Each week you are going to do some engineering related designing or making based project. These projects will be individual and primarily determined by what resources you have available and what your interests are in life. Here are some basic guidelines: · Do a project. Make something and document what you did. There are literally millions of projects out there. For example, I typed clothespin projects into Google and got a lot of ideas of projects you could do with an old clothespin. · Research something that you want to learn about in life. A few examples: How do magnets work? How does an LED light work? How does a nuclear reactor work? · You could also work on a larger project that takes a longer period of time, and then submit weekly progress reports. A few examples: helping your family build or remodel a house, building a shed, chicken coop, tree house, learning to weld, painting a room or entire house, building a fence, helping the neighbor cut trees or brush, · Develop more skill in Computer Aided Design (CAD): download Rhino or TinkerCAD and use on-line tutorials to learn how to draw things with these CAD tools. If you don’t have a computer or internet that is ok, you can do a lot of these activities using pencil and paper. Engineers all have an engineering notebook where they document everything. A few examples: draw the basic floor plans of a house labeling all of the rooms. This could be your house or a house you would consider building. I would use a ruler and make a scale of ?”=1’. You could also draw out your property labeling everything. You could make a bunch of paper airplanes and explain how it was done while testing them out. Please make sure you are documenting what you are doing and submit it to me. Include step by step instructions as and/or a weekly write up. A picture says a thousand words, so include pictures if you can. You might want to do a project one week and research something the next just to change things up a bit. My goal is to get your hands and brain doing something productive. Each week you will get points for submitting your documented notes. You can either type them up and e-mail them to me or write them out neatly and send me a photo of your written notes from a cell phone. These weekly submissions will be the basis for your grade in Pre-engineering as we move forward to the end of the year.

Social/Emotional Lesson: This week we would like students to keep track of where they are dedicating their time and how. We also would like students to look at their social media and consider another person’s perspective. The following lesson plans are from Character Strong. Lessons:Time DrainSpend the week keeping track of where you dedicate your time. Think about what you want for your life and evaluate if you’re putting time into the right things. Do you want to learn how to code, but spend an hour checking Facebook? Do you want to be a faster runner, but binge-watch Netflix nightly? Unless we take a moment to keep track of our time, the hours can disappear quickly and our priorities become not so prioritized.Reflection Questions:Were you surprised by where majority of your time was spent? Why or why not?Did where you spend your time align with your life goals? Why or why not?Social Media Mad Challenge: As you scroll through your Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and see something that annoys you, try to understand where it is coming from. Sometimes we see things that annoy us, make us angry, or drive us crazy. Take today to scroll through and pay attention to these things. Then, take a step back and think about what might be causing people to post like this. Are they crying out for attention because they are lacking it elsewhere in their life? Are they venting because they need someone to listen to them? Reflection Questions:Did pausing provide you a new perspective?What was the most challenging part of this dare? Why?Librarian: Mrs. Atherton’s Office Hours: LAtherton@ Librarian Notes and Support For This Week: With advance notice, textbooks can be picked up Monday-Friday from 11:00-12:30.
