This Week: Cells and Topo Maps!

Life Science
Students worked on their posters in class today. This is the only classtime provided to work on "The Cell is like..." project. The homework for tonight and tomorrow night will be to complete the poster and paper. Both the poster and paper are due on Wednesday. Students will present their posters to the class on Wednesday.

Earth Science
Is it a hill or a canyon? What is the slope? Students are working on creating topographic profiles using the contour lines on topographic maps. Practice, practice, practice is the best way to learn. It is a challenge to analyze spatial features, so students will have many opportunities to practice. Tonight, the homework is for students to create a topographic profile using the map in the packet (next to the last page). We will have a test on Friday covering topographic maps.
