Science summaries are one of our routine assignments generally (twice a quarter).
1] We as a class watch a science video. The video links are posted on my weekly log page in case they need to be revisited.
2] Students take notes. We have discussed note taking strategies in class.
3] I offer a class writing prompt, students may use if they wish. [past prompts are posted in class near the class calendar.]
4] Students hand write [at least 250 word] summary of their notes they took from the video. *unless an exception is written in a 504 or IEP* Then a printed verse will be turned in.
5] students turn in their Science Summary AND NOTES. The Summary is stapled on top of the notes, the turned into the wooden chair the first 5 minutes of class.
This is NOT graded for spelling or grammar.
The assignment is intended to have students get use to taking notes and summarizing their notes in their own words.

Atmosphere- gases surrounding a star or planetary body held in place by gravity. Earth's atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen, 21%oxygen, 0.9 % other.
Wind-A current of air, especially a natural one that moves along or parallel to the ground, moving from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
Troposphere-the lowest region of the atmosphere, extending from the earth's surface to a height of about 3.7–6.2 miles (6–10 km), which is the lower boundary of the stratosphere.
Cirrus- An atmospheric cloud generally characterized by thin, wispy strands.

Cumulus-clouds which have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance. The Latin cumulo-, meaning heap or pile.
Greenhouse effect- problem caused by increased quantities of gases such as co2 in the air. These gases trap the heat from the sun, and cause a gradual rise in the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere.
Anemometer-an instrument for measuring the speed of the wind, or of any current of gas.
