Week 30: Starting our Unit on Ecology and the Ancient Americas

olmec

We are starting some new units on ecology, and Ancient Meso-America. This week I’d like you to:

  • Send me a comment answering the first question, then one more question from 2-5;
      1. What is something you learned at the Tour of Nations?
      2. What are you looking forward to about studying these units?
      3. Is there something you think we should be doing as part of studying these topics?
      4. What are you not looking forward to about any of these units?
      5. What should we avoid doing?
  • Look at these Science Fair Experiments sites, and start thinking about what you would like to explore in your science fair project:
    • List of Science Fair Ideas – Science Bob This list is best for getting ideas. It lists potential questions to ask, but the list is there to get you thinking up ideas of your own and does not tell you “how-to” do the projects.
    • Science Fair Project Ideas This is a comprehensive list by category, and will tell you what to do from start to finish.
  • Write a post for your blog, or leave a comment on someone else’s blog;
  • Go to the unit links at the (all links except for May Dos).
  • When I say it’s time you can do May Dos.
