What's the Story?

Life Science
Students have completed their "Create your Creature" sheets. We compared the traits of the mother and father with those of the offspring. Today, we began to complete the study guide for a quiz scheduled for Friday. Students are to study the history of genetics (Mendel, Sutton) and Mendel's cross.

Earth Science
Students are working to complete their "My Life as a Rock" stories. Homework is to complete the pictures (in full color - no white space) and define the vocabulary at the back of the booklet. The vocabulary includes: porphyritic, volcano, batholith, sediment, weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation, floodplain, meander, delta, loess, stress, fold, and fault.
