Hello all! I hope this blog finds all of you well. Lots of illness going around so take care. On Monday you should receive your Science Fair packet from your child. We have talked a little about this in class so far and you should have seen your child's project choice and signed it already. I hope that packet is helpful to you. Please watch the due dates to help your child and I will continue to remind them here and model the process.

We will be learning about thermal pollution and what happens to fresh water. There will be a short 5 minute video and a miniLAB on dissolving chemicals. Students will then have time to finish their word boxes from last week. They will be turned in today.

We ran out of time to work on Word boxes, we will work on them for a few minutes tomorrow and then turn them in.

We will begin to look at 8.3 Changes in State. We learned about the Kinetic Theory of Matter last week and we will be applying it to this lesson. First, we will give students a few minutes (5 minutes) to finish the word boxes they started last week. Then we will do a reinforcement activity on Kinetic Theory of Matter. There will be a PowerPoint and notes in our new journals.
