Science

All students should have completed and reviewed by a teacher their:
1) Testable Question, 2) Hypothesis, 3) Materials List, 4) Procedure, 5) Data Table, 6) Graph and 7) Conclusion that has 3 paragraphs.

If these pieces have not been completed, students are highly encouraged to stay after school on Monday and Tuesday to work on them.

Every MMS student has received a poster (through 2 grants that we were awarded) to use for the science fair.  We have glue, construction paper, scissors and other basic items too.   However, students are also encouraged to bring any other items from home that will help them to 'jazz' up their posters.

Science Fair, 2/12, 5:00-7:00pm

Dear family and friends of Milton Middle School students,

        

        Milton Middle School is excited to be holding a Science Fair on the evening of February 12, 2014, from 5:00 to 7:00PM.  This event will coincide with the Milton Community Dinner, which begins at 4:30, so you can enjoy a great meal before experiencing the impressive work our students will be showcasing.  

        Over a nine-week period, our students will have designed, tested, analyzed, and presented a project that uses scientific methods to solve a problem. Students will present over 300 projects in the middle school gym. Students will set up their projects in the gym during school on Wednesday afternoon. Each student will be assigned a window of time during which he or she must be stationed at his or her project to interact with guests and judges.

        We expect all students in grades 6-8 to attend the fair. All middle school sports have been canceled on the night of the 12th to facilitate everyone's attendance. If your child will not be able to attend on the night of the 12th, please inform his or her science teacher immediately. We are planning spots for every student to present his or her poster, and organizing judges, so we need to know as soon as possible.

        We're looking forward to recognizing and celebrating the hard work of our students. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,

The Milton Middle School Science Teachers

Humanities Homework 2/6/14

Students need to enter class with the first paragraph of their chapter written.  This was started in class by most students.  Also, all research from 4 sources needs to be completed and was due on 4/6 well.  Drama and band students are far behind the rest and must use after school time to compete their work.  I have invited any and all students after school to catch up or get ahead and few have taken the offer.  I will be after school on Friday, February 7 as well.
