Wow! Two snow days in one week. How did that happen? I hope everyone is rested and healthy (we had strep throat) and ready to learn. You should have received a paper from your child choosing what Science Fair Project they would like to do. Please return that on Monday so I know that they have shared it with you.

The midterm will now be pushed back until Monday. Hopefully everyone had more time to study. On Tuesday, we will begin Chemistry. I will be out on Tuesday and during the afternoon on Wednesday so appreciate all your reminders to your students about behavior expectations. Also, on Wednesday, teachers from Loy Norrix's Freshman Academy will be coming over to Milwood to see how things work over here and what expectations are for students.

Have a great week!

Tuesday, February 5th

Students will complete Word Boxes for Lesson 8.1.

These are the words:

states of matter, kinetic theory of matter, crystal, plasma, thermal expansion, solid, and liquid.

Word boxes should be complete before students leave the room. They will have the entire time to complete them.

Wednesday, February 6th

Students will receive their new Science Journals. Do not loose the old one! It may be used on the Final Exam. If your child loses their journal, they can purchase one at the school store or from any store and get notes from a peer.

We will be looking at examples of solids, liquids, gases and plasma. We will be gathering information from the book lesson 8.1 and modeling information as we go. Students will have their journals to take home to answer the homework.

Homework: p. 34 Matter and Temperature worksheet

Students should also be working on gathering research on their Science Fair Project. They should have at least three different resources. Their three note cards are due on February 11th.
