Human Body Systems
Muscular and Skeletal System Review:
1. Watch the following Bill Nye episode about the Muscular and Skeletal System.
2. In your science notebook, set up your normal heading with the date, name, and I can statement, then list three facts that you
learned about each system.
3. Draw a visual demonstrating the functions of the Muscular System and the Skeletal System.
4. Then you can complete your Venn Diagram comparing the two systems (their parts and functions).
5. When that is complete, you can go on Brain Pop, click on Science, click on Cellular Life and Genetics, and then Cells.

Human Body Review
"After watching the Bill Nye Video called "Immune System" I learned that there are different cells with different jobs to help fight off diseases. T cells tag antigens (bad cells), B cells help identify and destroy the antigens, and the macrophages are the army that use antibodies to break down the antigen until it is gone. Without the immune system, our body would not be able to fight off disease."

- Click through the following review websites below. Make sure you pay attention to the organs/organ systems being discussed, what their function in the body is, and how that system(s) maintain homeostasis.
- After each website, write a summary in your notebook (loose leaf with a full heading if you do not have your notebook) about what that website taught you about the human body concepts mentioned above. Please be sure your response is in complete sentences and you have correct spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. Here is an example response:

Waves
Waves are disturbances that transfer energy from one place to another.
Mechanical waves travel through matter, causing it to vibrate, expand and contract (longitudinal waves), move up and down (transverse waves), side to side, or in circles. They include water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Their speed depends on the material they travel through.
There are many different measurements used to describe waves:
* Wavelength – the distance between two wave peaks.
* Amplitude – half the distance between the lowest point (trough) and highest point (crest or peak).
* Frequency – how many wavelengths pass over a period of time.
* Period – how long it takes for one wavelength to pass a single point.
* Speed – the distance a wave travels over time.

Analyzing Sea Level Rise
Link 1: Vital Signs Above Sea Level-NASA
Link 2: Global Temperatures-NASA
Skills:
* Remember to pay attention to the SOURCE. Think about who wrote the piece, why they might have written it, and when it was written.
* Then look at the TRENDS. What do you notice happening across the years? How does that link to what we know to be happening during those times?

Greenhouse Gases Research
Tips for self-research:
1. Look for a website that ends with .gov or .org because they usually give more valid information.
2. If you're doing a google search, type in "for kids" or "For middle school" after your search question. This will give you information that is age appropriate for your reading levels. Otherwise, you may be reading resources for college kids or veteran scientists.
Example: "What are greenhouses gases for kids"
"How are greenhouses gases formed for middle schoolers"

6th Grade Science
The first topic we discover in 6th Grade Science is the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, which explains the steps that scientists take when creating, administering, and reporting on labs. Familiarize yourself with the steps of the Scientific Method by watching the video made by Flocabulary (click here for video). While watching, as yourself: "What am I curious about? What would I like to experiment with?"
Feel free to experiment with any of the topics below to gain more information on science concepts!

Check out all of these possible careers! There are so many more than you could think of and some you wouldn't think of unless you read the list (like a food scientist-aka you can create candy bars and then come back and share them with your favorite teacher)!
