CHANGES - CHANGES - CHANGES

Okay, at this point I am changing the date (AGAIN) for the test. I will decide that later in the week! I am also changing the date for Assignment #4 - Start your Project. More to follow in class later this week.

Change of Date for the Plate Tectonics Quiz

Topic Proposal Discussions

Conversations begin on Monday, January 10 during all classes!

Homework - Science Fair Assignment #2

For this assignment (due January 18/19), you will need to brainstorm and research some ideas for a project. We have done some pretty good brainstorming in class and you know what projects will not be good choices for grade 8. Use your normal science homework time to do some web browsing and some book browsing to come up with a few ideas for a project. Remember that your project need not be a standard science lab but can also be an engineering project or a technology project! Try to think outside the box and be creative. I will meet with everyone individually next week to discuss your ideas and help you narrow your choices down to one. Be prepared to start this process on Monday! E-mail me at pstewart54@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Homework

Much of the next unit - Dynamic Earth - will be web based or note based but we will use your text book for basic readings. Please read Chapter 3, Section 1 in your text.

Science Fair Assignment #1

Science Fair Assignment #1 is due next class (January 5/6)! It's a tough one - bring in a clean 3 clip, two pocket folder. You were asked to have three for science this year and now you finally get to use one! The folders are also available in the Campus Shop if you do not have one. This is a graded assignment!
