Life Science
Science Fair is HERE! Students have been working on choosing a project (a true experiment) for their science fair project. They completed the science fair planning guide. Many students completed the science fair PROPOSAL (pages 7-8 in the science fair booklet). ALL students must have these proposals completed and turned in on Monday, August 31st. You can find a list of all graded items at the bottom of the blog along with the associated due dates.
In class, we are beginning our unit on the parts of the cell. Students were assigned to read pages 34 through 42 in the textbook and define all of the bold words (14) in the reading.
Earth Science
We are continuing our discussion of productive science vs. useless speculation. Students have been discussing three hypotheses proposed to explain the extinction of dinosaurs. Based on class discussions of a piece written by Stephen Jay Gould, students are writing a 5-paragraph essay. The rough draft of the 5-paragraph essay is due on Monday, August 31st, and the final draft is due on Tuesday, September 1st.
