	Science
Reminders:	Focus of the week: Identify and observe patterns of human inheritance
	We have uploaded some worksheets to Mrs. Bellucci’s Google Classrooms: A Vocabulary List for you to reference How are traits inherited? We did this as a class, now complete this with 2 family members. If you need to call a grandparent , aunt uncle or cousin as another family member you can. They would probably be glad to hear from you! Genetics after Mendel: You will use a pedigree to determine the role mutations play in the inheritance of disease. Investigating Dominance in Human Traits: You will design an observational study to investigate one trait in the members of your family. Then you will make a pedigree demonstrating the inheritance of that trait. You should include grandparents , aunts, uncles and cousins and get a couple of generations in there so you can make your pedigree and determine inheritance patterns. The example they give is to use attached or unattached earlobes. That will be fine to do, but can you think of others? ( raising one eyebrow, dimples, double jointedness for example) With your pedigree , please try to include a possible genotype under each person. If you are not with your family members, feel free to create/make-up a pedigree with a trait of your choice. The goal here is to practice making pedigrees.

How to Build a Journal

Objective- This week students are expected to create a journal to use for planning and sketching their work.

Materials:

1. Cardboard (Amazon box, cereal box: whatever is handy and reminiscent of cardboard)

2. Paper- prefer computer paper, but whatever you have is fine. Minimum of 12 sheets.

3. Glue: white glue is best but whatever will do

4. Tape

5. Either: large sheet of paper (18x24), wrapping paper, fabric

6. Either: stapler or embroidery thread or fishing line and an embroidery needle

Nice to have but not needed: cutting board, awl, scissors

Step 1: Fold Each Sheet of Paper Individually in Half.

Step 2: Create 2 Packets of paper so that each sheet nests into the other

Step 3: Take one packet of paper and open your packet. With your awl if you have one or any sharp object make 2 holes as shown below OR staple the packet as shown in image below and advance to step 6.

Step 4: Thread your needle with an arm’s length of thread or fishing line.

Step 5: Sew binding as shown below and tie a knot on the ‘spine’ of your packet.

Step 6: Repeat steps 3-5 on the other packet of paper.

Step 7: Cut your cardboard to be slightly larger than your paper packets.

Step 8: Place both pieces of chipboard on your book cover evenly spaced with 1 inch in between them

Step 9: TIGHTLY fold each corner creating right angles, taking care to fold right up to the chipboard on all 4 corners

Step 10: Fold over the sides and tops (like wrapping a gift)

Step 11: Attach tape as shown.

Step 12: Using tacky glue, attach your signatures with string side (or staple side) in the binding

YOU DID IT! YOU HAVE A JOURNAL! Decorate your cover any way you please or leave as is.

Focus of the week: Musical Analysis

Create a Grammy Award

On my website, you’ll find this assignment posted with details on how to complete it. You’ll find a Google doc with the instructions as well as an example. I’ll attach the Google doc here as well: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1642QI1j91faoNtl6TrM4OLlxt90D7IUEjKVucr55gSk/edit?usp=sharing

Follow these steps:

Read through the whole Google doc.
Reflect on the Grammy winners from this past year. If you see a song you don’t recognize or are curious about, check it out on YouTube.
Design your own Grammy Award -pick an award that multiple people or songs could be nominated for. It can be very specific or it could be broad. Reference my example provided in the Google doc.
Choose 5-10 potential nominees (5-10 people or songs that could possibly win this award you’ve created).
Pick one final winner and write 2-3 sentences justifying why this is the winner.

You can complete this assignment written down on paper, in your own Google doc or in a video response where you share your award, nominees and winner. Once you have completed the assignment, turn it in with one of the following ways:

With a Google doc -share it with sharney@attleborops.net

Written down on paper -take a picture and email it to sharney@attleborops.net

In a video response -email the video to sharney@attleborops.net
