5th Science
This week we continue our exploration of matter. Our efforts will focus on how matter changes in a chemical reaction. A couple of fun labs will help you understand just how new products are created. Be aware of Dr. Popplebots!

6th Science
This week we will focus on Human Impacts. You will create posters that depict how humans have influenced the earth. We will then discuss the greenhouse effect and how humans have changed this delicate balance in nature.

7th Science
Now that you have a deep understanding of how the periodic table works, it is time to begin exploring how atoms in a molecule "work". We will start the week by reviewing how temperature affects matter and then move on to molecules. Remember all those subscripts? It is time to learn more about them as we explore molecules.


8th Science
We continue discussing natural selection, paying close attention to population changes. We will work together to discuss the fossil record and how it provides us with evidence of evolution. Time to look closely for evidence and substantiate our claims based on what we see today.

8th Engineering
We begin the week by preparing for student exhibition night. It is your time to shine and tell us all about what you have been doing. Right after, we will discuss Exploravision entries, and start to think about how the technology we see today has been influenced by society's needs as well as the technology of the past.
