Science and Social Studies Updates 1/20/2015

Science
Today in Mr. Groves 3rd period we talked about science projects for the academic excellence fair on March 3rd, 2015. We also got to walk around the class room and look at projects from previous years. Everyone is still thinking about what to do for our projects. The whole class had to make a table in our interactive notebooks so that we could decide how well or poor students in the past did on their projects. With  the “project stations”, we had 2 minutes at each station and we had a partner, we had 10 stations to look at…so we had about 22 minutes worth of the interactive movement around the classroom today. At the end of class if you did good you got a thumbs up stamp. We had a good day in 3rd period today. 

Social Studies:
Social Studies- January 20, 2015- WWI Home front
Learning Target- How was life on the American home front affected by the US decision to go to war.
Writing Prompt: Since the men have to go to war, the women have to do the men’s job as well as their home job.
We took some notes:
Espionage & Sedition Acts: used to jail anti-war activists
Women gain new opportunities- which results in the 19th Amendment.
Selective Service Act- conscription (draft troops).
War Industries Board oversees mass production of weapons and war material.

Homework: Finish WWI Map
