Red Kayak
by Priscilla Cummings


Up the creek, a couple private docks extended out into the water; then there was a long strip of riprap near a construction site. From that point on, it was just shoreline with trees and a lot of brown cell bush. I kept going, but toward the head of the creek, a marsh taken over by a patch of tall phragmites warned me of shallow water, and I turned the boat around, not wanting to run aground. I sped up and came back down the creek, closer to the opposite bank.

Still no sign of a red kayak or a yellow life jacket. All I wanted to do was open the throttle and head downriver to where the others were searching. My hands ached they were so cold. I stuffed one hand in the pocket and hit the cell phone. I pulled it out and saw that I had "1 missed call." Turning off the motor so I could hear, I speed-dialed home to see if Mom knew anything.

"Brady—hi!" she said. "Dad called. He said they found Mrs. DiAngelo."

"They did?"

"Yes. Downriver, near Spaniard's Neck."

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"She's alive," Mom said. "But just barely. They have not found Ben."

"They didn't?"

"No. They lost the kayak, Brady. So Ben is out there somewhere in the water in his life jacket."

"Oh, man, it's cold Mom—"

"I know . . . I know it's cold. Are you all right? Can you do this, Brady?"

"I'm all right. I'm fine," I assured her. "I need to keep looking!"

I ended the call and put the phone back in my pocket. We had to move really fast now. If Ben was in the water, his time was limited.

Tilly started barking as I picked up speed.

"Quiet!" I hollered.

Watch this video for the Nearpod slides since this is the weekly skill in reading.

Here is the student-paced lesson for students who did not attend zoom OR did not finish all the activities and are trying to earn 100%.

For students who completed all the slides (completing ALL the activities): 100 = exceeded standard (advanced) ; 85 = met standard (proficient); 70 = approaching standard (basic); 60 = below standard (below basic)

Incomplete will be an incomplete grade (shown as a percentage of the activities you completed).

Zero is for students who do not do any of the activities.

Answer the 2 questions after you watch the mini-lesson video. Label each answer (#1, #2). The more time you spend answering the question with details, the higher your grade. 100 = exceeded standard (advanced) ; 85 = met standard (proficient); 70 = approaching standard (basic); 60 = below standard (below basic)

Bonus Activity: You can see for yourself how water moves inside a plant. Fill a glass with water and add a few drops of red or blue food coloring. Place a white flower in the glass. Wait a few hours and watch to see what happens. Look closely at the flower petals. What do you notice? Repeat this experiment, but use a stalk of celery or a lettuce leaf. What do you predict will happen?

If you do the bonus activity post the video on the STREAM of google classroom for everyone to see.

Take the google form quiz after reading the 2 articles from week 13 (SS #1 and SS #2)

La Macchina Botanica (The Botanical Machine) starts when a ball rolls down a ramp and ends by watering a plant. Watch the video for fun. Then watch it again, looking for places that energy is stored. Can you identify where energy is stored and how energy is transferred from one object to another.

Ideas from Experts:
Looking at the chain reactions that other people have built will give you ideas for your own chain reaction. There are many chain reactions online. MANY EXTRA POINTS GIVEN IF YOU MAKE A CHAIN REACTION AT HOME (the longer the better!). Watch videos below to get ideas,

Joseph Herscher uses ramps, rolling marbles, and everyday objects in a chain reaction designed to smash a chocolate egg. https://safeyoutube.net/w/np1b

Berlagawesome has an amazing youtube channel with many chain reaction tutorials. Here he explains why he builds chain reactions. https://safeyoutube.net/w/lx0b

Parts of a Honda Accord form a chain reaction in this commercial. https://safeyoutube.net/w/Mx0b

OPTIONAL Activity: Herringbone Chains
If you don’t have dominoes but you want to make a long contraption that will fall down in an interesting way, you’re in luck. All you need to make a herringbone chain is popsicle or craft sticks and paper cups.

Complete 4/21 Rube Goldberg Machine Conceptual Model Google slide

Use DocHub to type on this doc. I included a YouTube video showing you how to use DocHub. Watch the full video before you begin: https://youtu.be/dMHO1yBg0tc
If you do not figure out how to use DocHub just turn in a google doc that looks like the PDF file I attached.

Start by describing a problem. Tell me in a full sentence what is the problem (be specific... where, when etc...). Then next sentence write why you think that is a problem.

Do some research online on your problem. What are some solutions out there to solve this.

At the top of the solutions box, type ONE solution to the problem. Add more sentences providing details such as why is that a solution. How does it help solve the problem you named above?

Then write about more solutions you have to the ONE problem that interests you.

You must complete all the slides in which you must type an answer or draw a picture. If you do not type the answers or do as the directions state, the report will show me a grade of zero. If you do not understand what to do send me a message on google classroom.
