Pop Art began in the 1950s, but became very popular in the 1960s. It started in the United Kingdom, but became a true art movement in New York City with artists like Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. What are the characteristics of Pop Art? Pop Art uses images and icons that are popular in the modern world. This includes famous celebrities like movie stars and rock stars, commercial items like soup cans and soft drinks, comic books, and any other items that are popular in the commercial world. There are a number of ways that artists use these items to create art such as repeating the item over and over again, changing the color or texture of the item, and putting different items together to make a picture.

Element of Art: Color Color is how our eyes see the reflection of light off of objects. In art, color is organized with a color wheel. The color wheel shows the relationships between colors, such as what colors mix to make new colors and what colors go well together. Primary colors are the first colors and no other colors mix to make them. Mixing two primary colors will result in a secondary color. Red + Yellow = Orange. Yellow + Blue = Green. Blue + Red = Violet. A primary color mixed with a secondary color results in a tertiary color. Ex. Blue + Green = Blue-Green. Complementary colors are across from one another on the color wheel. They are opposites, but go well because they contrast and make each other pop to our eyes. Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) remind us of warmth and the sun. Cool colors (green, blue, violet) remind us of cold, water, and ice. The Pop Art artists loved to use bright, flat colors to give their art graphic appeal. A color scheme is a combination of colors. What’s your favorite color scheme?

How bored families are getting through the coronavirus lockdown By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff on 04.24.20 Word Count 730 Level 860L (From left) Alex Presley, Taylor Sharpe, Zach Presley, Wendy Presley and Lee Presley play a game with toilet paper while sheltering in place at home in North Carolina amid the coronavirus pandemic. Photo: Alex Presley The "Quarantine Olympics" is an internet trend that has come out of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. It began at the Presley family home in Cornelius, North Carolina. For one event, the Presleys played dodgeball. Yet none of the players could see each other, and they used rolls of toilet paper instead of balls. "We played through all the board games. So we had to get creative," said Alex Presley, age 25. For the past month, Alex has been hunkered down with his girlfriend, twin brother and parents. Alex calls the game "blindfolded toilet paper dodgeball." The rules are simple: Once you're hit by a roll of toilet paper, you're out, and then you can take off the blindfold. To make the game even more challenging, the Presleys spun in circles to dizzy themselves before playing. The result was chaos. Quirky Activities Combat Boredom This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.
Alex created a video of the game and shared it on TikTok. In the video, five people stumble around a living room. Shouts mingle with the thuds of rolls bouncing off windows and walls. The family's game nights have made them famous on the internet. The Presleys aren't the only people whose videos have gone viral during quarantine. Many families are becoming internet famous for quirky activities such as themed dinners and parody videos. The videos entertain people who are desperate for fun as the coronavirus continues to spread worldwide. Blindfolded toilet paper dodgeball is just one event in the Presleys's "Quarantine Olympics." The competition series has gone viral on TikTok. The contest began in early April after Alex suggested that his family attempt an unusual challenge. In the challenge, participants compete to see how long they can drink water from a cup using only a straw. The cup is constantly filled while the competitor drinks. The Presleys' "Straw Challenge" drew 7.5 million views on TikTok. Lively Family Dinners Now, the family is coming up with new events. Fans watching at home root for their favorite player and play the games themselves. Alex said they try to keep the games simple so that other families can try to play them, too. Another family who now has lots of free time is the Cannuscios from Massachusetts. Derek Cannuscio is a 14-year-old with a passion for cooking and comedy. He has turned family dinners into themed experiences that are wildly popular on TikTok. Derek cooks themed dinners for his family using supplies he finds around the house. He combining cooking with comedy. He recreates restaurant experiences. Derek's sister, 18-year-old Caitlin Cannuscio, said that Derek's dinners have inspired other families to come up with their own themed meals. "I don't know what I would be doing in quarantine without this," said Caitlin. She films the meals for TikTok. Other families have created parody videos. Song Lyrics Get A Rewrite The Marshes are a family from the United Kingdom who went viral in March. The family created their own version of "One Day More," which is a song from the musical "Les Misérables." Ben Marsh said the song's new lyrics were inspired by the frustrations of being in isolation. The Marsh family posted a video of them singing the song on Facebook. "One day more, another day another destiny, shopping for online delivery," sings Danielle Marsh, Ben's wife, in the video. The video has gotten worldwide recognition. It was even shared by actress Anne Hathaway. She was in the film version of the musical and won an Oscar for her performance. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.

For many families, doing strange activities during quarantine has strengthened their relationships with each other. Before sheltering in place, Caitlin Cannuscio said her family was often very busy.

Juegos con papel higiénico y cenas temáticas: cómo se divierten las familias durante confinamiento By The Washington Post, adaptado por la redacción de Newsela on 04.28.20 Word Count 1,007 Level 1060L De izquierda a derecha, Alex Presley, Taylor Sharpe, Zach Presley, Wendy Presley y Lee Presley durante un juego con papel higiénico mientras se refugian en su casa en Carolina del Norte en medio de la actual pandemia del coronavirus. Fotografía: Alex Presley Para poder comprender las "Olimpiadas de la cuarentena", una tendencia en Internet que surgió en medio de la actual pandemia del coronavirus, hay que acudir adonde comenzó todo: el hogar de la familia Presley en Cornelius, Carolina del Norte. Si alguien hubiera echado un vistazo dentro de la residencia el 8 de abril, los habría visto jugando al balón prisionero. Pero ninguno de los jugadores podía ver a los demás y, en lugar de pelotas, usaban rollos enteros de papel higiénico. "Habíamos jugado ya todos los juegos de mesa, así que tuvimos que ser creativos", dijo Alex Presley, de 25 años de edad. Desde el mes pasado, Alex ha estado confinado en casa junto con su novia, su hermano gemelo y sus padres. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.
Las reglas del "Balón prisionero de papel higiénico con los ojos vendados", como lo llama Alex, son simples: una vez que lo golpean queda fuera, y solo entonces puede quitarse lo que esté usando para cubrirse los ojos. Para hacer el juego aún más desafiante, los Presley giraron en círculos para marearse antes de comenzar. El resultado fue un completo caos. Pasatiempos sin sentido disminuyen aburrimiento durante cuarentena Alex creó un video del juego, le puso una canción de Mozart de fondo y lo compartió en TikTok. En el video, cinco personas se tropiezan alrededor de una sala de estar con sus caras cubiertas con las capuchas de sus sudaderas. Sus gritos se mezclan con los ruidos sordos de los rollos que rebotan en las ventanas y las paredes. Los recientes juegos familiares nocturnos los han hecho famosos en Internet. Los Presley no son los únicos que se han vuelto virales por sacar a relucir a su niño interior durante la monotonía de la cuarentena. Muchas familias se están convirtiendo en celebridades de las redes sociales por sus absurdas formas de pasar el tiempo durante la cuarentena, como celebrar cenas temáticas o realizar videos virales de parodia. Estos videos entretienen a personas que están desesperadas por algo de diversión mientras el coronavirus continúa extendiéndose en todo el mundo. El balón prisionero de papel higiénico con los ojos vendados es apenas uno de los eventos de las "Olimpiadas de la cuarentena" de los Presley, una serie viral de competencias que ha dominado en TikTok. El concurso comenzó a principios de abril, después de que Alex sugirió que la familia intentara una variación de un desafío que había visto. En el desafío original, los participantes compiten para ver cuánto tiempo pueden beber agua de una taza usando solo una pajita. Mientras el participante bebe, la taza se sigue llenando de agua. El "Desafío de la pajita" de los Presley fue un éxito instantáneo, obteniendo 7,5 millones de reproducciones en TikTok. Cenas familiares animadas Ahora, la familia está preparando nuevos eventos. Los fanáticos que observan desde sus hogares apoyan a su jugador favorito y hacen sus propias versiones de los juegos. En los últimos días, la familia se ha enfrentado en otros concursos no convencionales. "Tratamos que sean sencillos y algo que otras familias que nos ven también puedan jugar", dijo Alex sobre los eventos. Otra familia que también cuenta ahora con demasiado tiempo libre son los Cannuscio, de Massachusetts. Derek Cannuscio, un chico de 14 años aficionado a la cocina y a la comedia, ha convertido las cenas de su familia en experiencias temáticas que se han vuelto muy populares en TikTok. Derek invita a su familia a cenas temáticas dos o tres noches a la semana. Él combina sus habilidades en la cocina con comedia ligera para recrear experiencias en restaurantes. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.
En un video, Derek es un chef que cocina al estilo teppanyaki y prepara arroz frito y camarones en una plancha. Caitlin Cannuscio, la hermana de 18 años de Derek, dijo que las cenas, las cuales el joven prepara con los suministros que encuentra en casa, han inspirado a otras familias a experimentar con sus propias comidas y a crear sus propios temas. "No sé qué estaría haciendo en la cuarentena si no fuera esto", dijo Caitlin, quien graba los videos de las comidas para TikTok. Letras nuevas para canciones conocidas Otras familias han canalizado su energía en la creación de videos de parodia. Los Marsh, una familia de seis miembros del Reino Unido, se hicieron virales a finales de marzo. Esta familia compartió su versión sobre el tema del aislamiento de "Un día más", una canción del musical "Los Miserables". Ben Marsh dijo que la nueva letra fue "una mezcla de las diferentes frustraciones que todos los miembros de la familia han tenido durante las últimas semanas". "Un día más, otro día, otro destino, haciendo las compras en línea a domicilio", canta Danielle Marsh, la esposa de Ben, en un video publicado en Facebook. El video ha recibido reconocimiento mundial e incluso fue compartido por Anne Hathaway, quien ganó un premio de la Academia en el 2013 por su papel en "Los Miserables". El autor canadiense Joel Sutherland y su familia hicieron una parodia de la secuencia inicial de "Los Simpson". La familia usó un teléfono inteligente, disfraces viejos de Halloween y accesorios que encontraron en su casa. Proyectos creativos mantienen a las familias ocupadas El video recrea minuciosamente la introducción de la serie animada, escena a escena. Sutherland publicó el video en Twitter el 8 de abril y fue compartido por el productor de "Los Simpson", Al Jean, y por la cuenta oficial de Twitter del programa. "Hacer proyectos creativos juntos es una buena manera de mantenerse ocupado y no deprimirse", dijo Colleen Morris, la esposa de Sutherland. Para muchas familias, participar en estas actividades locas durante el confinamiento del coronavirus ha ayudado a fortalecer sus relaciones. Antes de refugiarse en su casa, Caitlin Cannuscio dijo que su familia solía estar tan ocupada que "realmente nunca cenaban todos juntos a la vez". "Se supone que debería estar en la universidad, así que hacía mucho tiempo que no cenaba con ellos", dijo Caitlin, estudiante de primer año de Fordham University en Nueva York. "Todo esto realmente nos ha unido". This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.

5/4/2020 Why Drink More Water? See 6 Health Benefits of Water 6 Reasons to Drink Water It's no magic bullet, but the benefits of water are many. By Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD FROM THE WEBMD ARCHIVES Americans seem to carry bottled water everywhere they go these days. In fact, it has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks). But water lovers got a jolt recently when we heard that a new report had found that the benefits of drinking water may have been oversold. Apparently, the old suggestion to drink eight glasses a day was nothing more than a guideline, not based on scientific evidence. But don't put your water bottle or glass down just yet. While we may not need eight glasses, there are plenty of reasons to drink water. In fact, drinking water (either plain or in the form of other fluids or foods) is essential to your health. "Think of water as a nutrient your body needs that is present in liquids, plain water, and foods. All of these are essential daily to replace the large amounts of water lost each day," says Joan Koelemay, RD, dietitian for the Beverage Institute, an industry group. Kaiser Permanente nephrologist Steven Guest, MD, agrees: "Fluid losses occur continuously, from skin evaporation, breathing, urine, and stool, and these losses must be replaced daily for good health," he says. When your water intake does not equal your output, you can become dehydrated. Fluid losses are accentuated in warmer climates, during strenuous exercise, in high altitudes, and in older adults, whose sense of thirst may not be as sharp. Here are six reasons to make sure you're drinking enough water or other fluids every day: 1. Drinking Water Helps Maintain the Balance of Body Fluids. Your body is composed of about 60% water. The functions of these bodily fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature. "Through the posterior pituitary gland, your brain communicates with your kidneys and tells it how much water to excrete as urine or hold onto for reserves," says Guest, who is also an adjunct professor of medicine at Stanford University. When you're low on fluids, the brain triggers the body's thirst mechanism. And unless you are taking medications that make you thirsty, Guest says, you should listen to those cues and get yourself a drink of water, juice, milk, coffee -- anything but alcohol. "Alcohol interferes with the brain and kidney communication and causes excess excretion of fluids which can then lead to dehydration," he says. https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/6-reasons-to-drink-water?print=true 1/3
5/4/2020 Why Drink More Water? See 6 Health Benefits of Water 2. Water Can Help Control Calories. For years, dieters have been drinking lots of water as a weight loss strategy. While water doesn't have any magical effect on weight loss, substituting it for higher calorie beverages can certainly help. "What works with weight loss is if you choose water or a non-caloric beverage over a caloric beverage and/or eat a diet higher in water-rich foods that are healthier, more filling, and help you trim calorie intake," says Penn State researcher Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Weight Control Plan. Food with high water content tends to look larger, its higher volume requires more chewing, and it is absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel full. Water-rich foods include fruits, vegetables, broth-based soups, oatmeal, and beans. 3. Water Helps Energize Muscles. Cells that don't maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue. "When muscle cells don't have adequate fluids, they don't work as well and performance can suffer," says Guest. Drinking enough fluids is important when exercising. Follow the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for fluid intake before and during physical activity. These guidelines recommend that people drink about 17 ounces of fluid about two hours before exercise. During exercise, they recommend that people start drinking fluids early, and drink them at regular intervals to replace fluids lost by sweating. 4. Water Helps Keep Skin Looking Good. Your skin contains plenty of water, and functions as a protective barrier to prevent excess fluid loss. But don't expect over- hydration to erase wrinkles or fine lines, says Atlanta dermatologist Kenneth Ellner, MD. "Dehydration makes your skin look more dry and wrinkled, which can be improved with proper hydration," he says. "But once you are adequately hydrated, the kidneys take over and excrete excess fluids." You can also help "lock" moisture into your skin by using moisturizer, which creates a physical barrier to keep moisture in. 5. Water Helps Your Kidneys. Body fluids transport waste products in and out of cells. The main toxin in the body is blood urea nitrogen, a water-soluble waste that is able to pass through the kidneys to be excreted in the urine, explains Guest. "Your kidneys do an amazing job of cleansing and ridding your body of toxins as long as your intake of fluids is adequate," he says. When you're getting enough fluids, urine flows freely, is light in color and free of odor. When your body is not getting enough fluids, urine concentration, color, and odor increases because the kidneys trap extra fluid for bodily functions. If you chronically drink too little, you may be at higher risk for kidney stones, especially in warm climates, Guest warns. 6. Water Helps Maintain Normal Bowel Function. Adequate hydration keeps things flowing along your gastrointestinal tract and prevents constipation. When you don't get enough fluid, the colon pulls water from stools to maintain hydration -- and the result is constipation. https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/6-reasons-to-drink-water?print=true 2/3
5/4/2020 Why Drink More Water? See 6 Health Benefits of Water "Adequate fluid and fiber is the perfect combination, because the fluid pumps up the fiber and acts like a broom to keep your bowel functioning properly," says Koelemay. 5 Tips to Help You Drink More If you think you need to be drinking more, here are some tips to increase your fluid intake and reap the benefits of water: 1. Have a beverage with every snack and meal. 2. Choose beverages you enjoy; you're likely to drink more liquids if you like the way they taste. 3. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Their high water content will add to your hydration. About 20% of our fluid intake comes from foods. 4. Keep a bottle of water with you in your car, at your desk, or in your bag. 5. Choose beverages that meet your individual needs. If you're watching calories, go for non-caloric beverages or water.

7th Grade Math Packet #4 (calculators are allowed) Name: ________________________________________ Student # __________________ I can use properties of operations to write and solve equations. distributive property allows you to distribute a factor over the terms in a sum without changing the overall value. Examples: 2(3 + 5)= 2(3) + 2(5) 4(x + 7) = 4(x) + 4(7) equivalent expressions: expressions that have the same value. x + 2 + 3 + x and 2x + 5 are equivalent expressions. inverse operations: operations that undo each other. Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. Multiplication and division are inverse operations. like terms: terms in an expression that have the same variable raised to the same power. (Constants are like terms too.) Examples: x and 5x are like terms. 34 and 1.25 and ¾ are like terms. x2 and 42x2 are like terms. Writing and Solving Equations Using Inverse Operations Remember, an equation is two expressions set equal to each other. Both sides of the equal sign must represent the same value for the equation to be true. Let’s look at a sample problem that is illustrated on a balance scale. The bag is labeled x to represent the unknown number. Because the scale is balanced, we know that x + 5 must equal 12.
The two sides of the balance scale represent the two expressions and the center post represents the equal sign. For the equation to be true, we have to keep the scale balanced. When we solve for x, we are taking 5 away from both sides to “see” the answer. x + 5 = 12 When we add 5 to an unknown number, we get 12. x + 5 - 5 = 12 - 5 We undo the addition by subtracting. x = 7 Now we are back to x by itself; the unknown # is 7. Once we subtract 5 from each side (to keep both sides balanced, or equal) we can see that on the left we have x, and on the right we have 7. Therefore, x = 7. _____________________________________________________________________ Let’s practice. For each situation described, write an equation and solve it using inverse operations. (Draw a balance scale or a picture too, if it helps you.) 1. When 13 is added to a mystery number (represented by n), the result is 45. What is the mystery number? 2. Carin had a certain number (represented by g) of board games. After he gave 7 games to a friend, he had 14 left. How many games did he start with? 3. Noreen filled six bags with candy for a party. Each bag had c candies in it. If the total number of pieces of candy Noreen used was 54, how many candies were in each bag?
Check your work. This is the equation for #2: g - 7 = 14 Here is the equation for #3: 6 • c = 54 or 6c = 54 or 6(c) = 54 ________________________________________________________________________________ We can write and solve equations to solve many different kinds of problems. Many have 2 or more steps. Look at this example: Karla ordered sandwiches to be delivered to her home. She paid $8.50 per sandwich and a delivery charge of $4.75. Her total cost was $47.25. How many sandwiches did she purchase? Her cost, $47.25, was equal to 8.50 times the number of sandwiches plus 4.75 for delivery. 47.25 = 8.50 (number of sandwiches) + 4.75 47.25 = 8.50s + 4.75 To solve it, we need to know what the s stands for; we need a value for s. To find it, we are going to isolate the variable, s, (get it by itself). The steps: 47.25 - 4.75 = 8.50s + 4.75 - 4.75 We subtract the constant from both sides (to keep the equation balanced.) When we have removed the delivery charge from both sides, we know that $42.5 was spent on sandwiches alone. If we divide the amount spent on sandwiches by the unit price (the price of one sandwich, we can find out how many sandwiches were sold. 5 sandwiches were purchased. Try it. Write and solve an equation to answer the questions. 4. Rodrigo bought a certain number of movie tickets priced at $6.00 each for his family, and paid $10.00 for parking. If his total cost was $64.00, how many movie tickets did he purchase? 5. Thomas purchased 5 cans of beans at $.90 each and some apples. If apples cost $1.25 a pound, and his total cost for the beans and apples was $13.25, how many pounds of apples did he purchase?

Exercise and the Brain: How Fitness Impacts Learning by Nancy Barile, Award-Winning Teacher, M.A.Ed. Be an advocate of exercise and watch how it improves your students' results in the classroom. While attending a three-day special education workshop, the book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, was recommended to me on the basis that it provides incontrovertible evidence that exercise can help all students—especially special education students— improve in school. At a time when recess and physical education programs are being cut for test prep, I knew this was information worth having and sharing. Exercise Can Improve Learning Written by Dr. John J. Ratey, an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, the book explores the connection between exercise and the brain, providing strong evidence that aerobic exercise physically remodels the brain for peak performance on all fronts. Specifically, Dr. Ratey writes that exercise improves learning on three levels: "First, it optimizes your mind-set to improve alertness, attention, and motivation; second, it prepares and encourages nerve cells to bind to one another, which is the cellular basis for logging in new information; and third, it spurs the development of new nerve cells from stem cells in the hippocampus." In short, not only does exercise help the brain get ready to learn but it actually makes retaining information easier. A suburban school district outside of Chicago is proving this point. The Naperville, Illinois district implemented an early morning exercise program called Zero Hour, which sought to determine whether working out before school gives students a boost in their reading ability and other subjects. Since introducing this program, the district has seen remarkable results in both wellness and academic performance. Naperville's philosophy was to teach kids how to monitor and maintain their own health and fitness—a lifestyle skill with enormous long-term benefits. In fact, across the country, research shows students with higher fitness scores also have higher test scores. Physical activity has a "positive influence on memory, concentration, and classroom behavior."
Exercise Can Improve Students' Mental Health Dr. Ratey's research also shows that exercise can be the best defense against a lot of the common mental health issues that students struggle with. Stress Our students face enormous stress in the classroom and in their lives, including peer pressure, work overload, and high stakes testing. Exercise controls the emotional and physical feelings of stress, and it also works at the cellular level. Physical activity is a natural way to prevent the negative consequences of stress because it can ward off the ill effects of chronic stress and actually reverse them. In addition, studies show people who add physical activity to their lives become more socially active, which boosts confidence and helps establish and maintain social connections. Anxiety and Panic Disorders Dr. Ratey defines anxiety as a natural reaction to a threat, but worrying when there's no real threat, to the point where one can't function normally, is an anxiety disorder. Panic is the most intense form of anxiety, and I've witnessed my students having panic attacks during tests and cooperative learning situations, or sometimes just from the general pressures of school. Spark points out that the majority of studies show aerobic exercise significantly reduces symptoms of anxiety disorders. Through exercise, people learn to alleviate anxiety and rebuild their confidence. Dr. Ratey points out that exercise reroutes the brain's circuits, reduces muscle tension, and teaches a different outcome to an anxiety-provoking situation, ultimately setting an anxious person free from their worrisome tendencies. Depression Aerobic exercise is known to have a positive impact on depressive symptoms. Studies suggest that endorphins produced in the brain during exercise contribute to a general feeling of well-being. Exercise also boosts dopamine, which improves mood and jump-starts the attention span. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise a few days a week can do wonders for students who suffer from depressive moods. ADHD School can be an especially excruciating environment for students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) because of the need to sit still, face forward, and listen. Dr. Ratey says structured exercise—in the form of martial arts, ballet, skateboarding, or gymnastics, for example—is one of the best treatment strategies for ADHD. The combination of challenging both the brain and body is even better than just aerobic activity alone because the technicality of those sports activates brain areas that "control balance, timing, sequencing, evaluating consequences, switching, error correction, fine motor adjustment, inhibition, and, of course, intense focus and concentration."
I'd highly recommend Spark to any teacher or parent interested in how exercise and the brain coincide. It will soon become clear that providing students with challenging fitness programs has numerous benefits. Starting slow, finding social support, mixing up activities, and keeping to a routine is a prescription for both brain and body health.
