Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grade: PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN DETAIL

ONLY PRINT PAGES 1-8Day 1-5https://extension.umd.edu/sites/extension.umd.edu/files/_docs/programs/agsploration/Photosynthesis.pdf

ART UNITS MONDAY – Incredible NaturePlant a garden – from used produce!!! Don’t throw out that celery! This project is delicious as well as educational!

https://www.thespruce.com/container-garden-projects-kids-will-love-847955

TUESDAY – Woven Pollinators

Woven Butterfly-Use straws or skewers instead of popsicle sticks. Make sure to glue the “X” before you start weaving the yarn through. Use a glue gun for this project. (Kids will need help for that step). I tried getting the tutorial but couldn’t find it. It is pretty self explanatory. You don’t need beads, just wrap a straw/stick with black yarn for the middle and glue in place.

WEDNESDAY – Toilet Paper Bee for Younger Kids

I think you can handle this one without a tutorial! You will need toilet paper rolls and some construction paper, or some paint!

Bee Bookmark for older Kids (I know toilet paper rolls do not cut it for older kids)

Tutorial: https://www.redtedart.com/bee-corner-bookmark/

THURSDAY – Egg Carton Flower BouquetFlower shops are closed, and who DOESN’T need a fix of beauty right now? While the flowers in the garden grow, use egg cartons that are lying around to add some colour to your space! Very easy!

Tutorial: https://www.thecrafttrain.com/egg-carton-flowers/

FRIDAY –

SO much fun! These are great with the smaller ones too, just make sure you have something on the table to save the furniture.

How would you grow it? -Make a list of all the vegetables you like, make a list of the ones you don’t-How would you solve issues of hunger in your community, write a plan, step by step. -Help mom or dad to clean/wash the produce – what do you see? Where are the flowering parts? Where are the roots? Where are the leaves? Where are the seeds? Does it grow on a tree, a stalk or in the ground?

MUSIC (NEXT TUESDAY) Renowned Ukrainian Canadian Musical Comic, Ihor Baczynskyj, has created a musical educational show especially for our children.

I seriously can’t WAIT! It is going to be hilarious.

SOCIAL STUDIES/HISTORY (ON THURSDAY 2PM EST) Social Studies Project: Our Classroom, Our Community/Наш Гурток, Наша Громада

Go to YouTube at 2pm EST THIS Thursday and search “UNF Kids Social Studies: Episode 1” on the Camp Soniashnyk YouTube Channel

Concept: As we go through this strange period in history together, I think it is appropriate to explore our Ukrainian Canadian History as a group together. Every week, children will listen to a little lesson on the History of Ukrainian Canadians and then students (of all grades) will answer a short series of questions about their place in our common history (on Survey Monkey).

Goals:The following week after each class, I will explain the results of the homework to the class online using graphs, charts and maps, and show what our results means for us as a sample group of Ukrainian Canadians! (Curriculum points: Canadian Geography, Canadian History)

Homework: To be done IMMEDIATELY after the show (will take exactly 2 minutes to answer) found here: LINK: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/T89C3NF

SUPPORTING MOVIE/TV SUGGESTIONS: Focus: Our planet, ours to protect (reduce, reuse, recycle)(Available on Disney+, Netflix or YouTube)

Wings of Hope (Disney Documentary on plants and pollinators– for kids 9+)
