8th grade did not meet today because of MEAP testing. They have classification vocabulary due on Monday.
In 7th grade today students received the guidelines for their Period Element Poster project. All students also received what element they will be researching and creating a poster on. Tomorrow students will receive an online and website that will help them to locate the information they need to complete their poster. Complete posters are due on Monday, October 29th.
Tomorrow we return to a regular schedule
In 8th grade we completed our review of Climatic Regions of the world. Tomorrow we begin our unit on Classification. Tomorrow students will also be receiving their Life Science textbooks.
In 7th grade we are continuing to learn about the different element groups of the Periodic Table. Today students received an assignment called Properties of a "Missing" Element. This assignment will be due on Wednesday. 7th grade will not meeting tomorrow because of MEAP testing.
Just a quick update for the weekend. Neither 7th or 8th grade had homework this weekend.
In 8th grade we will be beginning our unit on Classification. We will start by classifying familiar items based on their physical characteristics and relate to how this can help us to classify living things. We will continue to classifying living things and work on using dichotomous keys. Students will soon be using and creating dichotomous keys to classify different living and non-living things.
In 7th grade we will be continuing to study the Periodic Table of Elements. So far students have been introduced to Alkali Metals, Alkaline-Earth Metals and the Transition Metals. This week will finishing up the groups by looking at the Metalloids, Non-metals and the Noble Gases. As a class we have been discussing the idea that elements are grouped together because they react in similiar ways. This week we will go over the Periodic Table poster project. Information and directions for the project will be coming home this w
In class today 8th graders reviewed weather and water in our environment. Students looked at how air masses mix to create normal weather like changes in temperature, precipitation, and clouds as well as extreme weather like tornados and hurricanes.
8th graders have no homework.
7th grade did not meet today due to MEAP testing.
8th grade did not meet today for science due to MEAP testing.
In 7th grade we are continuing to learn about the different groups of the periodic table. Neither 7th grade hours have homework.
Today started our first day of MEAP testing. Both 7th and 8th grade tested today and to accommidate this schedule change both hours of 7th grade did not meet today. Tomorrow we will flip flop and 7th grade will have science in the afternoon.
In 8th grade we rewatched "Understanding Cells". Students completed the lesson 1 and 2 video notes in class together. For homework students will need to complete the video unit test for class on Thursday.
In 8th grade students watched a video on cells. While viewing the video they were to complete notes related to the content and complete a video"quiz" at the end. The video notes were assigned as homework for Monday, but we will continue to work on them in class today.
In 7th grade students are continuing their study of the Periodic Table. We are currently veiwing a video series that introduces the students to the different groups found on the Periodic Table.
As of yesterday student in 6th hour have viewed the Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals and have begun learning about the Transitional Metals.
In 7th hour students have viewed the Alkali Metals and Alkaline Earth Metals. As students are viewing the videos they are writing down the groups as well as what elements belong to each group. Students are also writing down at least two common uses of each element as we work to show that the Elements of Periodic Table can be found inaround us.
