This week we will begin studying the different types of rocks. We will begin with igneous rocks which usually are found near current or former volcanoes. Next week we will look at sedimentary rocks which form from weathering and erosion, and finally metamorphic rocks...
Students have been working on their Cell Cycle Booklet project. These will be graded over the weekend and returned to the students on Monday. They should use this booklet to study the different stages for the test on this material. We will have our Chapter 3 test on...
This week we have begun our study on the cell cycle. This includes how most cells grow and divide creating new cells. Cells go through much growth and replication in the preparation stage and then divide in a process called mitosis. Students will be making a mitosis...
This week we have begun our next chapter. We will be studying the three types of rock and the rock cycle. The rock cycle shows us how rocks can change into different types of rocks through natural processes like erosion, weathering, compaction, & cementation. It...
We have finished our chapter on cells. I feel that the students have a fairly good understanding of the organelles and how they function in the cells. They also spent quite a bit of time learning how plants make food in the process of photosynthesis and how animal...
This week we have continued our study on cells. We are beginning to understand the parts of the cell and how substances are transported in and out of the cell through osmosis, diffusion, and transport. Next, we will learn how the cells convert food and oxygen to ATP...
