You will need:

 * Your 1B5 Homestudy Book 2.
 * to spend at least an hour a night on your homework.
 * to start planning for how you are going to complete your homework on time.

==TASK ONE: Spelling==

Please make sure that learn your new words for this week then get tested every night by a parent/caregiver. Don't forget to get your notebook signed. For this task you are also required **to write one sentence for each of your words**. Make sure that you **underline** your word from your spelling list. Try to be creative with your sentences.

**TASK TWO: Science**
We will be doing science fair conferencing each day this week and next week, so your homework will mainly consist of researching your topic, writing up a method and hypothesis and setting up experiments. This week you are to develop your planning further through stage 4. Please be as detailed as you can when it comes to the planning. The better your planning the greater your science project will be.

Here are some helpful sites: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/sciencefaircentral/elmers/250projectideas.html http://www.sciencebuddies.org/ This is a great site http://k12pages.r8esc.k12.in.us/allen/swacs/sciencefair/ideas.html

This week we are looking at famous scientists. Do some research on your scientist //**(your scientist will be selected in class with your partner)**// and have it available to bring along to class to complete your history road.

TASK THREE: Reading
This week you are to rule up a reading log in the **back of your homestudy book.** Each night you are to:


 * title of the book
 * record the date
 * how long you read (duration - should be at least 20 minutes per night)
 * how many pages you read
 * write a **//brief but detailed//** summary of what you have read each night
 * write down two or more words that you do not understand
 * share what you read with dad/mum/caregiver. If they know the story they may want to ask you a few questions. E.G. which part of the story was your favourite tonight and why? What did the main character do in the story tonight? Were there any challenges that a character came across in the book that they had to deal with? If you had to change a bit of what you read - what would it be and why?



//Try solving the following problem:// Two frozen bodies were found perfectly preserved in the ice in Antarctica. A man and a woman, side by side. Scientists estimated that they had been buried in the ice for millions of years. After extensive study and research they announced to the world that they had proved conclusively that the bodies were actually those of Adam and Eve. How did they know beyond a shadow of doubt that this was so? __**(DO NOT GOOGLE FOR THE ANSWER - try to figure it out for yourself first. Only check Google once you are completely confused).**__
