Welcome!!• Find your seat. Names are on the desk, most are in

alphabetical order• Using a pen or pencil, please – Complete the contact information on the top of the

yellow paper– Complete the questions on the top of the CMS Safety

Contract• Create a name tent using the paper & markerHomework: – Bring spiral notebook next class period– Read safety policies on my wiki & returned signed safety

contract…POP QUIZ over this next week (35%)– “Stump the Teacher” text sample– Mooooo-ving Milk Bonus Option– Chemistry Unit Page completed by 8/28

TLW discuss positive and negative classroom interactions, collaborate to create class norms, practice those norms in a lab that reviews the scientific method, then complete an exit ticket reflecting on the norms and lab activity.

Entering the Classroom

1. Walk into the room quietly2. Go to your assigned seat3. Sharpen your pencil, if necessary4. Begin your warm-up

Quiet Now(noun) “ make or become, silent, calm, still”

(verb) “the absence of noise or bustle; silence; calm”

1. Teacher raises hand2. Stop talking and raise your hand3. Politely signal to others to stop talking

Quiet in 1 Minute1. Teacher rings chimes2. If you are currently talking, finish your conversation in ≤ 1 minute.3. If you are not talking, remain quiet, don’t

start a new conversation.4. Teacher rings the chimes a second time.5. Entire class should now be quiet.

END OF CLASS 1. I dismiss you, not the clock 2. Collect your things 3. Pick up trash around your desk 4. Wait to be dismissed 5. Place your trash in the trash can as you leave

Classroom Rules

1. Communicate only with permission2. Do not leave your seat unless you have

permission3. Keep your hands, feet and other objects to

yourself4. Use only school appropriate language5. Destroy nothing

• What is “Text?”

• What is Literacy?

Personal Reading HistoryThink about some key moments or events in your development as a reader. Using 2 sticky notes, jot down answers to the following questions:•What reading experiences stand out for you? High points? Low points?

•What were there times when your reading experience or the materials you were reading made you feel like an insider? Like an outsider?

What kinds of things do we report as either hindering or supporting our development as readers?

On one side of your index card, write down some Red Lights to reading…these are things that make it difficult to improve reading and learn through reading different texts.Under the Red light section, write down some Green Lights to reading…these are things that make it difficult to improve reading and learn through reading different texts.

Teacher text sharing

Normsomething that is usual, typical or standard

Part 1:Divide the other side of your index card in half

Safe:List things that make you feel safe participating or sharing in class

Unsafe:List things that make you feel unsafe participating and sharing in the classroom

Part 2:What are some Norms we should establish that will guide how we work, interact, and share in class?

Scientific Method review&

Norm practice!!

• Observations and resulting questions• Research• Hypothesis if/then/because• Experiment• Conclusions and next steps

What makes a good observation?

Observations1. We combined the two things and it bubbled for a

while2. It got foamy3. Immediately after the two substances were

mixed, gas bubbles were produced. They were the size of 7up bubbles. The bubbles/foaming traveled up most of the length of the test tube and then subsided after 30 seconds. The temperature of the mixture also decreased (the test tube felt very cold)

Mooooo-ving Milk• You will be completing the lab with your seat

partner• Make sure your observations are COMPLETE…recording

one observation does not mean you are done!

• Silently read through the directions on the yellow paper

The Chemistry of Milk and Dish Detergent

Milk is mostly water, but it also contains vitamins, minerals, proteins, and tiny droplets of fat suspended in solution. Fats and proteins are sensitive to changes in the surrounding solution (the milk.) The secret of the bursting colors is the chemistry of that tiny drop of soap. Dish soap, because of its bipolar characteristics (non-polar on one end and polar on the other), weakens the chemical bonds that hold the proteins and fats in solution. The soap’s polar, or hydrophilic (water-loving), end dissolves in water, and its hydrophobic (water-fearing) end attaches to a fat globule in the milk. This is when the fun begins. The molecules of fat bend, roll, twist, and contort in all directions as the soap molecules race around to join up with the fat molecules. During all of this fat molecule gymnastics, the food coloring molecules are bumped and shoved everywhere, providing an easy way to observe all the invisible activity. As the soap becomes evenly mixed with the milk, the action slow down and eventually stops.

Clean up• Send one person to the sink with your petri

dish. Wash and rinse, set aside to dry.

• Make sure your desk area is clean and all materials are as you found them

LAB RATS:Circulate and refill the lab binsCheck for clean areas

Exit Ticket1. Write a brief conclusion of the milk lab retest.

Make sure you reference the hypothesis and cite at least one piece of evidence from your observations.

2. Reflect on the classroom norms we began to establish. Which one will make the biggest difference in how comfortable you are in participating & sharing in class? Why?
