Seven science is beginning the study of cells in all living things. We will be studying the different parts of the cells and their organelles, how they work together for growth and healing, and the differences between plant and animal cells. From here we will work our way up to organs and human body systems. Students will be making a model cell in the month ahead. It can be either edible or non-edible and more information will be on its way home to you shortly.
Eight science is continuing on with the study of learning about all things earth, rock and soil. This week we will be studying soil and the different horizons, the nutrients within, and the processes of earth that create new soil. They will also be doing a lab demo looking at soil structure. From here we will slowly start to look at different plate tectonic movements and the rock cycle.
Seven social studies is doing a great job putting an end to their board game work. After we wrap up Egypt, we will be looking at ancient India. Along with traditions, we will look at the culture, religion and achievements of this group from so many years ago. There will be a test on India at the culmination of this unit.
It’s social studies did a wonderful job presenting their colonies on Friday and Monday of this week. We had some delicious treats to go along with the different groups that first colonized this part of America. From here we will begin the study of the Revolutionary war. There will be a test at the end of this unit of study. Study guides will be posted in Showbie to assist with preparation.
