This week sixth grade is studying Bones, Muscle and Skin as part of the Human Health and Biology curriculum that will see us through the end of this semester and all of second semester. This unit involves a long-term group project in which students research, plan, and model one of four joint types. Each groups ability to work together as a team will be assessed and included in the final project grade.
Seventh graders dissected earth worms yesterday and will test over Sponges, Cnidarians, and Worms tomorrow. The lectures for this unit can be found here and here. We will continue on this week studying Mollusks, Arthropods, and Echinoderms and will be dissecting squid, grasshoppers, and starfish.
In eighth grade we began a short unit on electricity. We will also continue working on science fair projects.
