Here are the instructions for the ladder method activity in SCIENCE DUE MONDAY 18TH!


Please read this to the students so that they understand the instructions:
Students, you will be showing that you remember and understand the ladder method we discussed these past two days. The correct order that you will be using is found on p. 9 of your notebooks and listed below:

kilo                hecto              deka               base                deci                centi               milli

A catchy saying to remember the order is:  King Hector Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk

Your objective is to pick ONE of the following options for showing that you understand the parts of the ladder method. For example if you were writing a story about “characters in metric land”, King Kilo could have 1000 loyal subjects! You just explained to me that you know that kilo means 1000!

How many points is this worth? You get 3 points each for correctly using the 7 parts (21 points), plus 2 points for the heading and 2 points for creativity/following directions.

1. Story: It must include all 7 parts of the ladder method: beginning, middle and end (at least three paragraphs with a minimum of 5 sentences each paragraph) and
decorate it! You can use a regular sheet of notebook paper or a recycled sheet of computer paper.

2. Poem: It must include all 7 parts of the ladder method and at least 7 lines. Decorate it!

3. Rap: You must present it to the class! It must include all 7 parts of the ladder method and at least 7 lines of LYRICS with a chorus to the tune of ____________song that you choose). You can have TWO people do this one, but EACH student must turn in their OWN copy of the rap. Decorate it!

4. Skit: You must present it to the class! It must include all 7 parts of the ladder method and have at least 7 lines of dialogue per student (up to TWO people do this one, but EACH student must turn in their OWN copy!) Decorate it!

5. Cartoon: It must include all 7 parts of the ladder method and have at least 7 blocks with something going on in each block (dialogue between characters). Please make sure the blocks are the same size and give the cartoon color!
