Hello Parents and Students,

I can’t believe that summer is just 4 school days away! Thank you so much for a great year, these kids have been awesome and I wish them the best of luck in 7th grade!
As you have probably heard I will be moving at the end of the school year. I have accepted a job at Trent Middle School in Frisco, Texas. I will miss all these kids very much, I have enjoyed the past 3 years at White Oak, it is such a great school and community! I am very blessed to be a part of it. Thank you so much for all of you support this year! 🙂

Objective: Students received a list of vocabulary words to study
Study for Final
Topics:Potential and Kinetic Energy, Thermal energy Transfer, force and motion, solar system, Earth

Monday: No School

Tuesday/Wednesday
Review for Final- bring compbook and vocab

Thursday/Friday – Half days(11:30)
EXAMS (Study everything from the PE and KE roller coaster back in your compbook)
4th/5th on Thursday
2nd/3rd on Friday

Hello,

We will be finishing up our unit on thermal energy transfer this week. Be looking for homework Tuesday and Wednesday night, as well as studying. We need to be looking over Potential and kinetc, energy forms, transformations, and thermal energy transfer. Everyone should have great notes to study, as well as a song to learn on You tube.
“Radiation, conduction, and convection song.”

Objective: 6.9

This lesson focuses on the movement of thermal energy through processes such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Students will conduct several investigations in order to gain an understanding that thermal energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer to cooler until the substances attain the same temperature

Monday:
Convection Lab
Going to symphonic band concert at 12:30

Tuesday/Wednesday:
Review
Energy Homework
Study

Thursday/Friday
Grade Homework
Test

Hello Parents and students!

This semester seems to be going by faster than the last, I didn’t think that would be possible! I hope the kids are enjoying our energy unit, this week will be a fun one!

Objective:
This lesson focuses on the movement of thermal energy through processes such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Students will conduct several investigations in order to gain an understanding that thermal energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer to cooler until the substances attain the same temperature.

Monday/Tuesday:
QUIZ- Potential and kinetic, energy transformations, energy types and forms.

Hot or Cold ?
Radiation Lab

Wednesday/Thursday

Convection Box Demo
Convection

Friday/Monday
Conduction Lab

**If students have any missing work they are not allowed to do labs until work in completed!

Hello Parents and Students

This week will be getting into energy transformations. This will be a fun week because we will be up and moving quite a bit! Wednesday is a Half day! 🙂

Objective: 6.9C
Students will compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy using a simple system and demonstrate energy transformations that occur within the systems.

Monday/Tuesday
Activity: Energy in a Ball
Discussion: Energy Types and forms

Wednesday/Thursday
Demonstration/Discussion- Transformations of Energy and Law of Conservation of Energy
Activity- Energy Transformations

Friday/Monday
Activity: Descriptive Investigation
