I hope the Advent season has been one of focusing on our coming Christ!
7th grade continues its Creation unit. There is a lot of discussion and notetaking involved. Students will be graded on their completeness of their notes.

This week both grades will be taking tests and then starting a new chapter.
7th grade will begin their creation unit. We will be using a lot of material from Answers in Genesis. They are the group with whom Carl Kerby, who recently visited our church, is associated. I have included a link to their website on my link list. There is so much information there. We will also be discussing evolution, so the students know what the theory says, what we as Christians can agree with, and what scientific inaccuracies are part of the theory.
8th grade will continue their study of chemistry as we move into the study of how and why atoms bond with each other. Reminder: Their element project is due on Wednesday, Dec. 16.

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.
