September 1st - Class Activities and Homework

Today in class, we began Chapter 3. This included handing out the chapter objectives, and we completed a "jigsaw" activity. Each student received a handout which included a set of questions about 4 important aspects of water (in relation to living organisms). Each student was responsible for reading about the information pertaining to 1 of these aspects, and then answering the questions. After approx 20 minutes, the students met in groups of 4 and explained their set of answers to the other 3 group members. The homework is to read pages 47 - 53.
