We will wrap up our discussion of natural succession and how ecosystems are changed by natural and man-made occurrences. The quiz will be Tuesday!! For the rest of the week, we will be delving into Body Systems! Our goals for this week will be to determine the major functions of each body system and how the systems are interconnected.
Additionally, this week marks the official start of our 2nd Quarter Science Project!! Each student will complete a written report, a trifold presentation board, present to the class, and participate in the BWI Science Night on February 6th. I am allowing three different types of science projects this year: Classic Science Fair Project, Design Challenge, or Concept Demonstration. The written report is due Monday, December 9th. Students will sign up for a day between December 9th and December 20th to present to the class.
If students decide to take their project to the Big Walnut Science Fair on February 13th, they will earn bonus points that count towards their final science grade! I have shared a folder of information about this project entitled "Science Fair Project" through your student GoogleDocs account. This folder contains an informational sheet about the project, a pacing guide, report guides for each project type, a works cited info sheet, and a page with 200 science fair ideas! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
You will have one day each week to work on your project in class. The homework this quarter is to work on your Science Project!! Use the Pacing Guide to help you focus on what to do each week.
