We continue the Organelle trail. The team posters for your organelle are due Tuesday (09/22) at the end of class. We will use them to complete the organelle round-up and create a mini-study guide. Don't forget to study for the Cells and Organelles quiz on Friday.
6th Science

We continue to work on the Plate Tectonics unit. After you create a Layers of the Earth foldable, we will make use of clay to develop models for layered rocks and investigate what happens at strike-slip faults. We will meet Wegener, one of the "crazy men of science", whose ideas revolutionized our understanding of the Earth's systems.

Voting will take place on Friday; you will need to provide evidence for your vote so make sure you take notes during the presentations and as you visit with each candidate.
