For your given element, record the following information:
What is the element name and symbol?
If the element goes by other names, what are they?
When was the element discovered? Who discovered it?
What is the element family? (Non-metal, alkali metals, metal, metalloid, noble gasses, alkali earth metals)?
What is the element group number and period number?
Give 2 physical properties of this element. (What is its melting or freezing point? What color is it? Is it shiny or dull?
Give 1 chemical property of this element. (Is it reactive or non-reactive? Is it flammable? Is it toxic to humans?)
DESCRIBE at least 2 real-world uses of this element.
Do not turn this in, keep it handy for tomorrow!

You should title this assignment: SCIENCE DL 2, <your full name>
Read this article on polygenic inheritance, then watch this video on co-dominance, incomplete dominance and polygenic inheritance.
1. DEFINE the following terms: polygenic inheritance, co-dominance, incomplete dominance.
2. USING YOUR IMAGINARY CREATURES FROM YESTERDAY, write 3 short paragraphs that illustrate the vocabulary words. Examples using the Fraggles are posted below for polygenic inheritance. To get full credit, write in complete sentences and be as clear as possible.
EXAMPLE: In fraggles, hair color is polygenic: it is controlled by 3 genes. There is a gene for hair color: red is dominant to blue hair. There is a gene for pigment production: light pigment production is dominant to dark pigment production. Lastly, there is a gene for texture: straight hair is dominant to curly hair. So, for example, Red the Fraggle and MooMoo the Fraggle might both be dominant for red hair color, but if Red has the gene for light pigment and MooMoo has the gene for dark pigment, and Red has the gene for straight hair and MooMoo has the gene for curly hair, their hair will look different. Red will have light colored, straight red hair (it might even look more pink than red colored!). MooMoo will have very dark red (it might even look cranberry colored) curly hair!

8th grade: house design resources
Directions for this project:
1. READ about each of the methods of heating your home in the space below. Before you begin your house design, CLASSIFY each source of heat as an example of: conduction, convection, radiation OR both (be specific which two you are referring to). You may work with your color group on this part!
Radiators
Passive Solar Heating
Geothermal heating and also Where in the US do people use geothermal heating?
Wood stove
Forced air/ gas burners
2. Each color group has been gifted a plot of land to build a vacation cabin on. You will need to consider the climate of your area before determining which heating system you want to use in your dream vacation cabin. Although you may talk with each of your group mates about the vacation home design, each person needs their own, unique design. The assignments are as follows:
Purple team - Portland, Maine
Green team - Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Yellow team - Asheville, North Carolina
Orange team - Appalachicola, Florida
Blue team - Forks, Washington
Red team - Taos, New Mexico
