Weather and Climate Quiz

6th and 7th grade students have a quiz in science class tomorrow (Thursday, May 21st).  They are allowed to create an index-card-sized study guide that they can use on the quiz.  Students can use their notes, class handouts, the preassessment and any other material to help them study and create the study guide.

8th Grade Only-Science NECAP 5/12 & 5/14

8th Grade students will take the Science portion of the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAPs) on Tuesday, May 12th and Thursday, May 14th.  This test assesses the depth of understanding of science content and skills from 5th through 8th grade.  8th grade students should get plenty of rest the night before and are asked to try their best for this assessment!

Space Quiz Returned

Students received back their space quiz before break. It was challenging and only a small handful of students met the standard.  I'm encouraging all students to click on the science posts below and use their notes to review the seasons, lunar phases, eclipses and tide animations/websites during the long break.

When students return from break, they can either: 1) create a model of the Sun-Earth-Moon, 2) use the classroom models or 3) draw a diagram of the S-E-M system.  Using one of the three options, they can meet with me (lunch or after school) for a requiz where they can show me what they know.  I'm hoping many students take advantage of this opportunity to place the power of their grades into their own hands!
