This Week in Science

Hi Students!
This week we will:

1) Go further in depth with photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
2) Examine the differences between line graphs and bar graphs.
3) Practice graphing bar graphs and line graphs.

Also, be prepared for a quiz you will take on Friday/Monday. Here is your study guide:

1) What is an ecosystem?

2) What does biotic mean? Can you find biotic factors in an ecosystem?

3) What does abiotic mean? Can you find abiotic factors in an ecosystem?

4) What is the difference between a line graph and a bar graph?

5) What is photosynthesis? What goes "in"? What goes "out"? Who uses photosynthesis? Where does photosynthesis happen?

6) What is cellular respiration? What goes "in"? What goes "out"? Who uses cellular respiration? Where does cellular respiration happen?

Notebooks collected this week are:
Orion - Science
Aries - Science
Draco - Math

Notebooks will be collected on Thursday! If you have any questions, please post a comment. :-)

Plastic Bottles and New Notebooks Needed

Hi Students!

Just a reminder to bring in three 2-liter bottles by Wednesday, October 3!! We will need them to do our environmental science project of "world in a bottle." Remember to rinse them out with warm water only! If you wash them out with soap, the soap will kill the organisms that will live in your bottles!

Also, you need a new science notebook starting next week, the week of Oct. 1! We are done with our scientific method unit and will start environmental science!

Homework Change

Hi Students!

This week, homework will be given on Monday and Tuesday. Homework will be collected on Wednesday and Thursday. This is due to the fact that the homework is helping to prepare you for the District Assessment you will take on Wednesday and Thursday.

Draco and Hydra - Homework is due on Wednesday.
Aries and Orion - Homework is due on Thursday.

Make sure it is fully completed and turned in on time so that you can get a 4.0!
