The last quarter of the year is starting, and we have lots of fun work ahead of us in Science!

8th Grade: We've started our Genetics unit, and are diligently studying the principals of heredity. Ask to see your students' pedigree charts in the next couple weeks-- students will be tracing the inheritance of various traits through families of pandas, pea plants, and puppies (and various other creatures real and imagined). Homework will include Punnett Squares and AIMS review, so dig out those old Science notebooks.

7th Grade: We're studying fossils and geologic time at the end of our Earth Science unit; the last (and upcoming unit) will be Environmental Science. We have a couple of large projects coming up, so remember to be consistently keeping up with your daily assignments.

3rd quarter report cards come out on Thursday, 11 March. All assignments for the 3rd quarter, including the extra credit assignment, were due Friday, 05 March. All assignments beginning Monday, 8 March are counted in the 4th quarter grade.
