Exciting times in both classes!! We were able to extract DNA from an onion- smelly but very cool! In Physical Science we were able to see the composition of water by breaking them up and seeing H doubling the O. We also saw the cohesion of water by dropping water droplets on a penny always an exciting experiment!

Time has flown this semester. We are done with 1/2 of first semester. Which means next week a test will be sent home (more to come on this later). In both classes we will focus on reviewing the three modules we have completed thus far.
MIDDLE SCHOOL:PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Monday/Tuesday: create a crossword puzzle with 25 words from modules 1-3. There are some super sites online to make free crossword puzzles (make sure you find ones that will allow 25 words!)
Wednesday/Thursday: Make up 30 review questions for a review game this Friday. Please choose from modules 1-3 and answer your questions.

Barometric pressure & The animal cell
MIDDLE SCHOOL:PHYSICAL SCIENCE
What a great debate we had this Friday!! The winner of the debate (it was close) but it is the ladies. Great job from both teams. The ladies won it with the great point of cost comparison of health care and the regulations of pollution. Good points made on both sides. After the debate we were able to compare air pressure with a little experiment.
HOMEWORK:
Record the barometric and humidity reading each day.
(go to www.woodtv.com under weather tab, current just get the grand rapids reading)
MON.-Read pgs. 67-76. Complete Study Guide pg. 79 #2-4

Matches and the E.R.
Sounds like a couple of exciting classes!! Thankfully the Lord kept us safe with the matches and learning about the endoplasmic reticulum (E.R.).
PHYSICAL SCIENCE:
HOMEWORK:
Mon/Tues. - The great DEBATE!! I would like us to debate the positives and negatives of imposed environmental regulations. (pg. 49 of the text)
Guys- research and take the side of: The negative effect of imposed regulations to reduce pollution. (increased traffic fatalities, cost)
Girls- research and take the side of: The positive effect of imposed regulations to reduce pollution. (health concerns, cleaner air)
Basically my desire is to have a brief debate between the guys and gals. I would like each student to research independently the side I have given them. Come up with some good statistics. Write your research out (a couple of paragraphs with some great facts should be sufficient). You will be able to use these during the debate and then will turn them in for homework. There will be a prize for the winners of the debate. Think critically. There is a lot of false information out there. http://blog.drwile.com this is Dr. Wile's blog I would go here for some sound information.
Wed. - finish the crossword puzzle from Module 3
Thurs.- Read pgs. 57-65. Complete pg. 79 Study Guide #1 a-i
BIOLOGY:
Mon./Tues. - Complete the cell worksheets handed out in class. (both of them)
Wed./Thur. - Creativity Contest!!!
You are to create an animal cell (pg.170) using whatever means you feel is creative. (You may draw if you cannot think of anything creative but please use color). Please label these or use some kind of key to identify them and define the function of each organelle within the cell that you have labeled. Have fun with these and use some imagination!! Looking forward to seeing your grand creations on Friday!!
