Welcome to the end of 1st quarter and beginning of 2nd quarter! All assignments this week will be counted towards 2nd quarter grades. We have learned so much and, hopefully, are ready to learn even more! In Earth Science, we're wrapping up our study of the evidence for the layers of the Earth by creating a model displaying what we learned. We will finish off the week studying convection. In Biology, we're in the middle of studying the basics of key organs in plants and animals which will be tested on at the end of this week. Here are some study tools which may help you: Paper Organ Labeling & Functions Study Tool, Online Slideshow Organ Labeling Study Tool, Online Slideshow Organ Functions Study Tool. We started studying for this with two weeks notice for the test. Remember to study 5 minutes per day for basic mastery! We will also shift into the basics of key organ systems in plants and animals this week.
