Week of 1/19

Science fair is upon us! Though I know the thought of science fair strikes fear in many parents' hearts (including mine! :)), it is an important experience for students to plan, execute, and present a finished project within deadlines. That in itself is applicable to almost any job in which a student may have an interest. Additionally, the proper procedure of stating a problem and searching for a solution is a valuable process. I have outlined the steps for students to follow and assigned due dates to help them pace their progress.

8th grade will have a test this week and will then move on to the last chapter in our chemistry unit.

7th grade is beginning a unit which will take a closer look at each of the kingdoms of life. We hope to find the answer to the pressing question "What area of the school will grow the largest bacteria culture????"
