Week of 11/30

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! Praise God for the many blessings He showers upon us!

7th graders are beginning the study of DNA this week with the start of Ch. 6. We will be taking a very close look at the structure of DNA and building our own model of it this week. Candy/marshmallows of 4 different colors will be needed for Thursday's lab. Each lab group will need a supply of approximately 32 pieces (gummi bears, gummy lifesavers, marshmallows, etc.)

8th grade begins its study of the elements and their arrangement of the periodic table. We will begin an element project which will help us build our own classroom periodic table. Assigned elements and details will be given in class on Tuesday. The project will be due before Christmas break on Wed. Dec. 16.
