The Weekend is HERE!

Life Science
Students have two items to work on over the weekend: (1) Review study guide for Chapter 1 exam and (2) begin answering 10 questions and complete bibliography notes for science fair project.

- The Chapter 1 exam will be given on MONDAY.
- The answers to the 10 questions and bibliography notes are due THURSDAY (extension given).

(Please note that the only homework for next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be for students to research answers to their 10 questions and record the sources in the bibliography notes.)

Science Fair
IMPORTANT: Students need to be sure that their 10 questions can be answered by researching information in books, articles, etc.... The questions should not be based on the findings of their experiment. This research is meant to provide the students with background information about their projects.

IMPORTANT: Sources should include at least 2 books, 1 magazine article, 1 interview, and 1 dictionary (used to look up definitions). Make sure that internet sites are reliable sources of information.

Earth Science
Next week: Students will be learning about minerals over the next two weeks. In addition, I will be incorporating computer mapping and satellite imagery into the minerals and rocks unit. First, we must learn about minerals and rocks. Then, we will study how they form and how we locate them. No homework this weekend for earth science.
