PROJECTS ARE DUE ON THURSDAY MARCH 15TH
7 Science just wrapped up their study of the Nervous and Endocrine systems and took their quiz. I hope studying for it didn't get on their nerves! Next in line for us is the Reproductive system, a unit review and then the amazing, "toad-ily" fantastic frog dissection. The group also requested a cow eye dissection, so we will be checking those out as well.
8 Science just finished their introduction to all things water - properties, the water cycle and also its flow both above and below ground. Next we will be checking out the Earth's oceans and all things salt water. From the deepest depths to the shallowest tide pools, we are going exploring!
7 Social Studies wrapped up our Greeks last week Friday with some EPIC commercials from long, long ago that would've had citizens of Athens rushing out to buy geometric tools, medicine and columns! Next we will start our study of all things Roman - including a Toga Tuesday complete with byo togas, early roman games, and some fun filled activities.
8 Social Studies just wrapped up Westward Expansion - we learned about the Gold Rush, the Donners, and next we will start looking at the cultural and economic differences that eventually led the US into the Civil War. We will be having a test on both chapters that are coming up - one on the North and another on the South, We will conclude with a project on the Civil War before wrapping up the year.
