Plants and Currents

Life Science

We are working on the plant unit in class and growing plants at home. Students are to read pages 289-296 in the book, complete writing/defining the bold sentences and words found in the reading and answering questions 1-3 on page 296. I will be checking the 3rd column on the project as well as the gymnosperm color page (worked on during class today).

Earth Science

Students are to review their notes on ocean currents in preparation for a quiz on Tuesday next week. Bring all questions to class tomorrow.

Science Fair Success!!!

Life Science

The 2nd Annual TPA/TPJA Science Fair was a HUGE SUCCESS! Congratulations to all of the 6th and 7th grade participants!

Earth Science

We are continuing our exploration of the Earth's oceans. Research an explorer who traveled across a vast ocean and compile the following information: name of explorer(s), year, route of the voyage, purpose of the trip, type (and name, if available) of vessel, instruments and/or maps used for navigation, and any other interesting information. Be sure to write out the information that you find on a separate sheet of paper to be submitted as evidence of your homework on Monday.
