We had our summative assessment at the fourth floor. There were three pages of assessment and honestly the questions weren't that hard. So, it is basically about food web, food chain, classification and biogeochemical cycle. I just hope I'll get HP for this assessment. <3
Well, apparently today my group couldn't observe our terrarium. Why? because we have no gecko inside. Since our gecko was cold and sick, Putri decided to bring the gecko home and today Putri B was sick and couldn't come to school :-( Therefore we continued in making the science fair poster about the terrarium. It was a boring day after all.
Today we have English class, because it's TUESDAY! we continued in making the project. Our project is making a campaign of saving the coral reefs, we decided to make pin and also stickers for everyone who supports my group's campaign. After continuing the project, Ms. Disty asked my group to go downstair to Biology Lab and check and observe the terrarium. My gecko turned into grey?!?!?!? What happened? As we observe the gecko, it seemed that the gecko was cold. The light doesn't seem to help at all and the sand wasn't suitable for him. Ms. Disty decided to extend our experiment and we will bring small rocks and pebbles to substitute the sand. Today Putri B brought the Sunglow gecko, and put it inside the terrarium. To be honest, the gecko looks so pretty and cute. After putting the gecko inside the terrarium, I put several crickets inside and shockingly the gecko swallowed every crickets that I put. Wow, he must be very hungry. My terrarium is supposed to be like desert, so it needs to have warm temperature. That is why we put a light near the terrarium. Today I had our first literature circle in term 3. This is maybe the first and last literature circle that we're going to have in this term. Basically, this literature circle is a little bit different from the previous term. This term, we learned how to self regulate, which means we need to do the literature circle without having Mr. Rob to check on us every 5 minutes. But to make sure we really do the literature circle, Mr. Rob asked us to record our voice or video the discussion. In literature circle, my task is to be the vocabulary enricher. The vocabulary enricher job is to find at least 5 unknown words, or words that are unfamiliar to you and then the next thing they should do is find the definition, synonym, antonym, etymology, as well as the picture or representative. snapshot of the lit. circle videoYup. My group's terrarium is nearly done. The only thing that we need next is extra sand, sky background, and the animals. We put the cacti inside the terrarium, and we make a little oasis in the middle of it. After doing all the terrarium stuff, our next task is to continue creating our biology quiz. We should make 20 points quiz that includes the questions about ecosystem, taxonomy, biogeochemical cycle (2 cycles), food web, and domain, Kingdom. The duedate for this quiz is on Monday (2/03/15). Today we continued reading the novel. Finally I could finish from chapter 1 until 10! good job!:) I cant wait for friday, because we're going to have our first literature circle. So far I find this book very interesting, but there are too much words that I don't understand:( that is why I always open the visual thesaurus to look the words up. Hope the literature circle will be super fun! Finally, today I could come to school. I was absent for the whole last week, I have to catch up so many assignments!:( OHNO!! Today, my group and I continued in building the terrarium. Today, I brought 3 cacti plants with its pot. We figured out where to put the cacti, but unfortunately we were running out of sand. We took some notes on materials that we needed and what to do next with the terrarium. We did dig a hole in our terrarium to make the oasis. After building it, we had another task. Our next task is to write reflection about each members' contribution. After that, we made our own quiz about ecology, taxonomy and other things that we had learned. The quiz is due on next monday. Hope I can finish it on time :) Yesterday was Chinese New Year. So yesterday we don't have Biology class. On friday, Ms. Disty told us to split the class. For the first period, we will have English and for the second period we have Biology class at the second floor. Today, apparently I was absent. I was not feeling that well, and so my dad asked me to get some rest. At around the afternoon, I went to Pasar Barito with Musa to buy some of the materials that are needed for our project. I asked Putri 1 about today's task in both English and Biology class. English Class: Reading the class novel until the second period. Biology class: continue making the Terrarium, putting the soil in the aquarium and decide what to put next. |
