Both 7th and 8th grades have very involved science activities to look forward to this week. Eighth grade is reaching the height of their chemistry unit by learning about chemical reactions. They will learn how to write and balance chemical equations. We will be doing activities and internet practice to help us learn these new concepts.
Seventh grade is beginning its study of each kingdom in the classification system. This chapter we will be focusing on bacteria. Ask your child if all bacteria is bad? Can bacteria be used as medicine? What area of the school used the most bacteria? They should know the answers to all of these questions by the end of the week!

Week of 12/16 until Christmas Break
The snow days were certainly a welcome surprise, but they wreaked havoc on my lesson plans! Seventh grade was given a take home test yesterday. They will receive class time to get started on it, and it will be due on Friday, Dec. 17.
Eighth grade is starting a new chapter - chemical bonding. Hopefully some hands-on activities will make this very abstract concept more concrete for them.
Have a blessed Christmas! Celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus!

Week of 12/6
Eighth grade is finishing up their periodic table chapter. There is a test this week. Also, by the end of the week, they should be able to identify the main elements in most everyday objects. Element projects are due Friday.
Seventh grade is working on the creation unit. This is a lot of discussion and debate. The unit will end next week sometime with a take home essay test. The Answers in Genesis website is a great resource for this topic. There is a link on the right side of this page.
