Recap:
In 6th grade we went over the requirements for the end of nine weeks project designed to showcase what students have learned about the nature of science and how to develop a good scientific experiment or observation. This project is due Thursday or Friday, depending on when I see that particular period. Following that, we reviewed a little bit from the video and entered prefixes in our vocabulary primer. There will be no other homework this week so students can focus on creating the best project possible.
In 7th grade we went over the requirements for the end of nine weeks project designed to showcase what students have learned about the nature of science and how to develop a good scientific experiment or observation. This project is due Thursday or Friday, depending on when I see that particular period. Following that, we went over the main ideas from the endosymbiotic theory. There will be no other homework this week so students can focus on creating the best project possible.
In 8th grade we went over the requirements for the end of nine weeks project designed to showcase what students have learned about the nature of science and how to develop a good scientific experiment or observation. This project is due Thursday or Friday, depending on when I see that particular period. Following that, we went outside to the aquaculture bay to learn how to do a pH test and the importance of pH as a chemical property of matter. There will be no other homework this week so students can focus on creating the best project possible.
Brain Bender:
Professor Harding just returned from a 6-month vacation in the Middle East. In one of the lectures she gave, she said the highlight of the trip was seeing many of the ancient artifacts, firsthand. She made mention of having seen several mummies and tapestries dating as far back as 200 B.C. She claimed to have seen coins dated 46 B.C. What was wrong with Professor Harding's claims?

Weather and Atmosphere:
Unit Essential Question: How do the relationships among the five spheres affect life on Earth
How do the relationships among the five spheres affect life on Earth?
Key Learning Statement: The atmosphere is layered and within these layers are weather patterns that affect life and are caused by interactions among spheres. Water is constantly being recycled through the spheres. Heat transfer affects the development of weather.
