7 Science - We have been wrapping up our intro to Matter - changes, properties, states and characteristics. We will begin reviewing next week for our first science test. I have shared notes and the review with them to help them study - it should all be in their notability for easy access, or can be quickly downloaded to notability from their google classroom account. Their test will be Tuesday, the following week.
8 Science just wrapped up evolution and changes over time - which is a nice way to begin looking at our dynamic earth and the many changes that it is constantly going through on a geologic scale. We are going to start by looking at the different spheres within the earth and go from there.
7SS - We have gone from Mesopotamia to Sumer, thanks King Sargon! We will be creating our cuneiform tablets this coming week, using ancient writing techniques to create messages. We will also start to look at the different Empires that came and went through the Fertile Crescent region.
8SS - We are studying the many explorers of this early era of circumnavigation! We will be taking a closer look at the slave trades through some first hand accounts that were written by both Europeans and Slaves alike to better understand the impact that it had on the many peoples involved.
