New Topics

In 7th Grade Science, we are beginning a unit on ecosystems. Look for great links later this week.

In 6th Grade Science, we just began a unit on geology, starting with the layers of the earth. Today, we compared the layers of the earth to peanut M&M's, and we saw a great Bill Nye the Science Guy movie. Tomorrow, we will be conducting more in-depth research regarding the layers of the earth.
