Science News
We have finished fossils, era's of the earth and adaptations! What's next?
The next unit that we will be learning about is: THE EARTH! We will look at the inside of the earth, plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes and erosion. The students will have a take-home project dealing with earthquakes, as well as a group project in class about erosion. It should be a fun and interesting unit!
All students need to bring a 3-ring binder, colored pencils or crayons, regular pencil, and a highlighter to class daily. They also need to keep their lab coats at school all year.
