Science 10:  We went through the Giraff WS, then we reviewed natural selection using hover flies as an example.  "How did black flies evolve to look like a wasp?" is a question that we should be able to describe using the ideas of natural selection.  We watched this clip about the evolution of the Pocket Mouse.  In the last half hour we read pages 50 - 54 and completed page 63 # 1-8 (half sentences, half point form).

Chemistry 11:  After going through the answers to the functional groups WS, we spent time finishing Lab 7B, which is due on Monday.  A few students began the Moles Year End Review WS.  

Science 8:  Three groups were formed, and each group was tasked with making a short station-style quiz (one word answers, generally) on one of 3 topics:  Rocks, Minerals, or Glaciation.  Once prepared, everyone completed the station quizzes, and work was checked against the answer keys posted at the back.  We spent the rest of the class working on 3D models of trilobites.

Science 9:  We had Georgie here from the Farm to Table program, and we learned about farm practices.  On Wednesday next week we will go by bus to First Light Farm.  I collected the Ecology Practice Test, marked it, and handed it back.  Click here to see the key.  On Monday we will do the Ecology Unit Test.
