Week of November 8, 2010

This week we continued dissections in the 7th grade while eighth graders experimented with static electricity as well as series and parallel circuits.  Sixth grade continued working on their group joint modeling project which is due on December 14. They will take an exam of Bones, Muscle, and Skin on Thursday, December 16.

Week of November 29, 2010 (continued)

We did our first dissection in 6th grade this week!  We dissected chicken wings to look closely at muscle pairs, tendons, ligaments, and bones.

In 7th grade we reviewed mollusks and prepped for our Monday dissection of squid.  We will have a guest speaker early next week, and a starfish dissection next Friday.

8th graders worked hard at fine tuning their science fair experimental designs.  Today we reviewed making tables for data collection.  They should be ready to start experimenting!
