Can't they all just get along? (referring to atoms, of course)

Life Science
Those students with time-intensive projects should start their experiments by this coming weekend. We will be working on data collection and manipulation prior to and immediately following fall break. In addition, students are not collecting much information from their research. By reading books and magazine articles, students gather background information about their projects. I am needing parents to allow students to gain access to various resources by making visits to the library. Wikipedia and ask.com are NOT reliable sources. The internet should be used with caution.

We are working on a lab in class. Students are to type their lab reports with the information that they currently have - Title, Purpose, Research, Hypothesis, Materials and Equipment, and Procedure. We will make observations tomorrow and complete the lab report.

Earth Science
Four States of Matter - Students are to read section 3.3 in the Chemistry packet, define the bold words, and answer questions 1 - 5 in section 3.3 assessment.
