Mo-tivators: Digestive System Quiz

How close did each class come this week to hitting the Big Mo, our goal of 80 percent mastery of each week's learning objectives?

#1 Arias (501), 64.8%
#2 Samuels (233), 60.0%
#3 D'Ascoli (500), 56.3%
#4 St. Marie (502), 53.5%
#5 Rios-Beltran (522), 46.7%

Good work, but we've got a long way to go to hit an 80 percent mean!

Science Says

I believe the children of PS163's science labs are our future.

Some things I learned in science is that an organism is a complex adaptive living system of organs. I learned about the Big Mo and a Big Vo. In the big Mo I learned about the cells that is in my body. The cells are the smallest building in your body. I also learned from my science teacher is that we had microscopes. I think my science teacher is really cool. When I was in 4th grade I never knew this stuff but now I know it. Thanks.

I learned about the digestive system and how it works. We first chew the food. Then we wet it with saliva. It goes down the esophagus. It goes down the stomach and to the intestines. Finally down the colon.

I went to scienceback.blogspot.com and played the game. The game is about the digestive system. You need to put the parts on the part. When I finish playing the game I go to study for my quiz on Thursday. I use it to study for digestive system.

After Walter used ScienceBack.blogspot.com to study the digestive system, he scored 30 percent higher on this week's quiz than last week. That sounds like Big Mo-tivation to me!

They Blinded Me With Science

Ms. Rios-Beltran's bilingual scholars let us in on what they've learned so far this year... one language, one time only!

I learned complicated words that I can't remember and I learned that every time I don't get the Big Mo I definitely need to retake the test and try better every day. I learned that things that you eat and things that are not living things and things that are living can be just like the human skin. I learned that the veins bring back the blood to the heart. I learned that the body of a human can be very complicated and that you do not only need lungs and air to breath, people need oxygen.

In science I learned that with a microscope you ould see little stuff like germ. I learned that you can do fun experiment like check the temperature of ice in water. You can make like putting water in a cup and putting black pepper in the water then you can grab a glove and put it in the water and it can feel soft or gross. You can learn about hypothesis and cells and tissue. That can be a lot of fun learning about this stuff. I learned about the Big Mo and great stuff about science you can even learned about skin cake.

I think that this year is going to be really fun. With learning science because Ms. Miller is going to do really fun experiments for us... One day I know that we are going to be the best class in the whole school. Also we are going to get all those fun experiments that Ms. Miller wants to teach us.
