Social Studies -
This week we are starting Chapter 21 - Three Chinese Philosophies.
The Zhou dynasty ruled China from about 1045 to 256 B.C.E. During its later years, different leaders fought for control in China. The country was thrown into disorder. These troubles led Chinese thinkers to ask serious questions about the best way to have peace and order in society. Three very different answers emerged and became the philosophies of Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism. The goal of Confucianism was to achieve a just and peaceful society. Confucius taught that society worked well when all people used standards of good behavior in their roles and in their relationships with others. Daoism taught that people gained happiness and peace by living in harmony, or agreement, with the way of nature. Those who followed Legalism believed that most people are naturally selfish. Therefore,the rulers should establish strict laws and enforce them, either with rewards for good behavior or with harsh punishments for bad behavior.
Science -
We are starting Chapter 2 of Traits and Reproduction. Our Big Question is: Why do traits vary between parents, offspring and siblings? In Chapter 2, students explore why the Darwin’s bark spider offspring make different silk proteins. Students discover that genes are instructions for different proteins, learning that organisms have two copies of each gene. The gene copies can be the same version of the gene or different versions. This means that a cell could produce one type of protein or two different types of proteins.
