Science in the News - Due Monday, January 20th

Locate a news article, published in the last year that relates to our next unit of study in Science. The article can be related to any of the following concepts:

• Heat
• Temperature
• Energy and Heat related technology
• Thermal technology
• States of matter
• Heat transfer
• Insulation
• Thermal conductivity
• Energy use and conservation
• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation

Once you have found an article, create a summary of it that includes what it is about, who is involved, where and when it took place.
Next answer the following questions:

• How is this article relevant to our unit of study?
• Does it connect to any other science work you have done in the past?
• Why do you think this is important for us to learn about?
• How does it impact us and our world?

Include the title and date of the article and the link in your document and share it with me on GD at cawoolfrey@educbe.ca
If you choose to work in partners, you need to complete this work for 2 news articles. One must be related to our Heat and Temperature unit and the other can be anything Science related.
You can do this work in a Google Doc or in Google Slides. Makes sure you have:

• a title and your name at the top of your work
• 3-6 paragraphs (3-5 sentences/paragraph)
• Edit for spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar, formatting and spacing.
• Self-edit, have a peer edit, then ask an older sibling or adult at home to help you identify errors so you can fix them.
