Science Update

Students received a copy of their graded science fair projects on Monday.  It included feedback from the judges.  We discussed how their project grades will translate into report card grades.  Students were encouraged to make corrections and take projects home.  We are beginning a cells unit and want to use student questions to guide the investigation into cells.  Next week, students will create a model cells and will be working with partners.  The project will be due on Wednesday and here is a view-only copy of the project guidelines.  We will move towards answering student questions.
