2/22 - 2/29

Seventh graders are learning about invertebrates.  Did you know that 97% of all animal types are invertebrates? On Friday, the entire 7th grade will do their first dissection as a science class. I have some experienced dissectors from my life science mini, so I'm counting on them to be good guides.  We will be dissecting an earthworm.  There is a lot more in that squishy creature than you would imagine!

Eighth grade is beginning their journey into physics, and we have been studying all kinds of motion.  To work on keeping this new vocab in our heads, we are going to be creating short video descriptions of our vocab terms and putting them together into one vocab video extravaganza!! Ok - maybe I made that sound more amazing than it really is, but whatever it takes to get those ideas to stick in their heads!! :)
