On October 21, we started off class by listening to Mrs. Steins new favorite song, "Teach Me How to Bucky", while writing down the homework for the weekend. Next, Mrs. Stein had us go up and get our homework checked in (which was pages 4 and 5 from the Unit Packet) and she also gave us a NEW homework stamp sheet. Then, we discussed our homework and the zapper game from last class. We went over how the Zapper game and viruses are similar. We discussed how computer viruses and disease-causing viruses are alike, as well. Since someone was absent the day we played the Zapper game, we begged Mrs. Stein to play it again. So the entire class played two more games of Zap! After that, Mrs. Stein pulled up the slide show and we took notes on "Spread of Diseases". We learned that diseases are spread by physical contact, contaminated food or water and vectors which are animals that carry diseases. Lastly, we watched a video about "Disease Warriors. This video was interesting because it showed us how viruses could be spread, wether it was from another person, or by animals. It also showed how some vaccines were created. Earlier in class we were assigned homework for the weekend. The homework is the following:
~Read section 20.1 with 6 questions AND answers
~Watch out, Grandma! Disease postcard project ( Due November 8th)
~Remember to finish the Cancer Paper (Due Monday)
If you need any rubrics or the format for 6 types of Q's and A's, then look on Mrs. Steins homepage!
The next Scribe is....... Adrian!
