7 Science has their Cell Projects due on Friday December 13. We will be looking at cells under microscopes, and seeing how processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration impact the world around us - and how cells are responsible for keeping things alive. we will be going into the lab on Tuesday to create our keys for our cell models - students should have all the information that they need prepared so that we can create and print off our model keys before Friday.
8 Science wrapped up the little rocks, now we move onto the big ones - the huge plates of rock that make up our tectonic crust. We will be learning about the separation and collisions of these plates, how the process is always occurring and also have an edible lab thrown into the mix as well. Should make for a delicious final unit before the break.
7 Social Studies is learning more about ancient India - we have learned about Hinduism and the influence of religion on faiths such as Jainism and Sikhism. We are next going to look at the creation of the Buddhist religion and also the achievements that the ancient culture developed - medicine, mathematics, and much, much more!
8 Social Studies has their test on the Revolutionary War this coming Friday. It will take place in the morning as the group has their Bake Sale in the afternoon.
