The fourth quarter is underway, and the 8th graders have been finishing up their Heredity and Genetics unit, and will be studying for the upcoming AIMS. The 7th graders have started an Ecology unit, and are learning about ecosystems and biomes. Please remember to check in with your student about assignments and projects-- both grades had an opportunity for extra credit before the April break, and the 7th graders will have a Biome project after AIMS that will require them to do a little outside-of-class research.

These are some pictures from a recent 8th grade lab, where the students were modeling the structure of DNA.
