I enjoyed being with my eighth graders this week!  They are great leaders for our combined class, and I appreciate the example they set.  We have so much to accomplish in a short class period, so I truly need their work ethic!  This week we will reinforce skills used in the scientific method, focusing first on the vocabulary of the scientific method: question, hypotheses, variables (independent, dependent, constant, controlled), testable questions, and conclusion.  Students will also review science tools and lab safety.  Class teams will conduct an experiment and communicate results in written format.
