Grades 5 and 6 Tasks (worksheets attached)

Scholars must complete all the activities the following tasks

ELA : Scholars in grades 5 & 6 will independently select a book appropriate for their reading level, read the selection and create a book report in the form of a cereal box. They will highlight important ideas from the text- main characters, setting, problem/solution, etc and write a summary of the book. Finally, they will write a brief review and explain their stance.

History: Scholars in both 5th and 6th grade will work independently to complete a packet of writing and grammar practice. Scholars will correct run-on sentences, identify independent and dependent clauses, review root words, prefixes and suffixes, and use context clues to determine the meaning of words.

Science Grade 5 scholars will “Adopt an Element.” They will use a minimum of 3 resources to research their element and create an advertisement or commercial of the element. They will prepare a 3 minute presentation of their work and present in class after the break.

Page 4:   · Web view12/20/2019  · 2019 Capital Preparatory Harbor Lower School Winter Project . Grades 5 and 6. Assignment Objective: I know how to minimize my winter learning loss because

Grade scholars will explain the three types of plate boundaries, describe the forces that are thought to move the plates and explain the process of subduction at deep ocean ridges by completing one of three 3 project formats. They will prepare a 3 minute presentation of their work and will present in class after the break.

Mathematics Grade scholars go to the grocery store and find the prices of 15 of their favorite items. Scholars then create a slideshow with pictures and prices for each of the items they’ve selected. Pictures should be taken in person for full credit. Scholars should answer the following questions within the slideshow:

Grade 6 scholars will do the same project as 5th Grade with the added task of calculating the taxes and clearly representing it in the slideshow. Slideshow should state the cost before and after tax for each question.

Grade 5 Winter Project

Adopt An Element

1) Complete an “Adopt An Element information sheet”. (50% of grade)

You may use a variety of sources or references. Possible ideas are encyclopedias (book or CD), science encyclopedias, science catalogs, magazines, and/or internet sites. Be careful with internet sites and the reliability of the information. Information sheets must be neat, written in black ink or typed, and contain all the information requested. You also need to provide a list of your sources/references on the back of your information sheet. A minimum of three sources/references are required.

2) (50% of grade)Option A: Create an Advertisement for your element, Table of Elements Style.

The advertisement must include the element’s name, symbol, atomic number, average atomic mass, cost, your name, and an advertising slogan that describes one or more of its important uses. Advertisements must be neat, colorful, and contain all the information listed

above (see grading sheet). You may add pictures that relate to your advertisement theme. You may also choose to produce a digital copy of your advertisement by using Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or any other compatible program. Your advertisement must follow a very similar format to the example below.

Option B: Create a Commercial or Short Infomercial for your element. (50% of grade)

The commercial must include the elements’ names, symbols, atomic numbers, average atomic masses, costs, and an advertising slogan that describes one or more of their important uses. Each commercial/infomercial must be neat, colorful, contain all the information listed above, and have all members of the group acting in the video (see grading sheet). You may add pictures, props, costumes, etc that relate to your advertisement theme and are school appropriate. Commercials or infomercials must be turned in as a digital copy on flash drive, CD, DVD, etc. An example commercial or information can be provided by the teacher upon request.

Option A: Create a Venn Diagram comparing the role of density and convection currents in the creation of three landforms as follows:

· 2 landforms created from convergent boundaries and 1 from a divergent boundary.· Determine if density and/or convection currents played a more significant role in creating one of the three landforms and star it.· Each section of the Venn Diagram must include at least 3 differences and 1 similarity.· Use 12 plus vocabulary words from Ever Changing Earth Unit· Write in grammatically correct full sentences.

Option B: Create a concept map that shows the different ways density and convection currents are involved in the creation of three landforms as follows:

· 2 landforms created from convergent boundaries and 1 from a divergent boundary.· Each landmark includes at least 3 supporting details to justify your position.· Use 12 plus vocabulary words from Ever Changing Earth Unit· Write in grammatically correct full sentences.

Option C: Write personal narratives from the perspective of three landforms that describes how density and convection currents formed each landform as follows:

· Write 3 personal narratives from perspective of 2 landforms created from convergent boundaries and 1 from a divergent boundary.· Each landmark includes at least 3 supporting details to justify your position.· Use 12 plus vocabulary words from Ever Changing Earth Unit· Write in grammatically correct full sentences.

Mathematics: Grocery Project DUE: Monday, January 6th, 2020

Grade 5: Scholars go to the grocery store and find the prices of 15 of their favorite items. Scholars then create a slideshow with pictures and prices for each of the items they’ve selected. Pictures should be taken in person for full credit. Scholars should answer the following questions within the slideshow:

What would the total be (without tax) if you bought these items? What would the cost be (without tax) if you divided the total of the 15 items between you and 4 friends? What would be the total cost (without tax)if you bought the same 15 items for 10 different families?

Round all your answers to the nearest hundredth.

Grade 6: 6th Grade scholars will do the same project as 5th Grade with the added task of calculating the taxes and clearly representing it in the slideshow. Slideshow should state the cost before and after tax for each question.
