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.

Week of 11/29
Seventh grade will be finishing Ch. 6 this week. There are a couple of links on this page to practice some of the things we have been talking about in class.
Eighth grade is starting the periodic table. This chapter includes a project which involves researching two assigned elements. As a grade, we will be constructing a huge periodic table on the back of the science classroom. There are links to help with researching this project and for practicing memorizing the symbols of the 40 most common elements.

Week of 11/.22
We have so many things for which to be thankful! At the start of a busier time than usual for many of us (holiday preparations), may we all remember to slow down now and then and praise God for all he has given us.
Seventh grade is studying the structure and function of DNA. They will be building candy models of DNA on Wednesday. Eighth grade is studying the structure and function of atoms. They built models of an atom on Monday. Eighth grade will also habe a test before the Thanksgiving break. There are helpful links for both grades to practice some of the skills that we have been learning in class.
