I am so excited to start the 2019-2020 school year. This year is going to bring many new activities and ideas. We are going to be taking STEM to another level and dedicating more time to it. We are going to spend time learning and working together to be the best we can be. 

I will update pictures of things going on in and out of the classroom and the year goes on so please check it out. 

Please make sure you check your childs google classroom page with them, there are many announcements and copies of paperwork  posted here.

Check out the calendar for upcoming events as well. 

Thanks for all your support.

Welcome to 7th grade Science. This year we will cover a variety of topics. We will pick up where you left off in 6th grade with a continuation of Cells. This will lead us into a unit on  Genetics. We will then switch gears and move into  Force and Motion.  Ecology, Diversity of Living things and Life over Time will be our final unit. We will have a dissection in the spring. This is a general introduction into dissection and should not be worried about. 

This year we will start with unit 1 from our Collections book, this is on Bold actions. We will cover most if not all untis in their colletion book. We will then have a unit on perceptions and reality before we move into our first novel, The Outsiders. much of the reading of this will be done as part of the weekly reading log.  In the second semester we will cover non fiction, fiction,continue with units from our text as well as a Poetry units.  We will spend time each week with  Assessment practice in short segments. This will be done in class as well as online. We will have a reading log due most weeks. The content on the reading log will change each week.  

In 8th grade we go into great depth into our topics. We will cover the Human body and all the systems. The students will then complete a project incorporating the Human body as well as give them a chance to practice public speaking. They will master one body system and expalin it to their Dr. Office. We will also cover Chemistry and the periodic table. We will cover acids and bases in the spring. At the end of the year we will complete a dissection in class.
