Science Grades 7-8 small medium large DECEMBER 18, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will be starting our chapter on viruses and bacteria. This chapter will involve a microscope activity. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are getting new books on Chemistry. The first lessons will be about matter and chemical reactions. Merry Christmas!!!!! ****************************** DECEMBER 11, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - With Christmas Service practices we will only have science 2 days next week. We will finish the information in Chapter 1 of our new book on Kingdoms of Life. I have a test planned for Thursday, Dec. 17th. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - With Christmas Service practices we will only have science 2 days next week. We will finish information on Thermal Energy, complete the Study Guide - which will be graded - and move on to our new Chemistry Book. ****************** NOVEMBER 20, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will be finishing the book about modern electronics and then getting our next book on Biology. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are still working with energy and power calculations. If your child is doing the bonus work (see last week) that would be due on Dec. 4th. *********************** NOVEMBER 12, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will be studying motors and generators and TRYING :) our hardest to get a motor to work in a demonstration. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are moving on to the study of work and machines. In this unit the students are able to do an extra credit project of taking apart an old machine (with parent permission) and identifying the simple machines that make that machine work. ********************************* OCOTBER 30, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - Over the next 2 short weeks of school we will be learning about parallel circuits, motors, and generators. No closed book tests will be given until we get back to more consistant classes 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - Over the next 2 short weeks of school we will be doing calculations using formulas for pressure in fluids. All graded work will be done on an open book format. OCTOBER 23, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - The test I thought we would have this week didn't happen. We spent a day working with batteries, wires, switches, and light bulbs, and the 7th graders were at Holy Hill another day. Now it looks as if the test on Chapter one will be on Tuesday, October 27th. After that we will learn about Static Electricity. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are still doing calculations using formulas that are connected with Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. When we complete those next week we will move on to the study of pressure. OCTOBER 16, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We finished the book on Astronomy and are now studying Electricity and Magnetism. Next week we will make an electromagnet and do activities using static electricity. We'll probably be ready to test Chapter 1 information on Thursday, Oct.22nd. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We finished the book on genetics and are now into physics and the formulas that go with it. Students will be graded according to the various worksheets that we work on independently during class time. Calculators may be used. OCTOBER 2, 2009 Mrs. Pankow will be teaching for me on Friday, Oct.9 and the following Monday, Oct.12 as I will be taking a long weekend to celebrate my son's wedding. I may not get around to update this site next week. 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will conclude our study of stars and galaxies and have a test on Chapter 3 on Thursday, Oct.8. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will finish our study of genetics next week and work on an open book assignment for the grade. The last chapter in this book deals heavily with evolution. We will read and talk about it in class, but there will be no test on the information. ******************************* SEPTEMBER 25, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE -We had a test today, Friday, about the planets - and the Planet Cards were due. Now we will begin our study on the stars. Included in this chapter will be a Computer Lab project where we create our own constellation and write a story about it. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are learning about genetics, probability, and Punnet Squares. Did you enjoy doing the family genetic characteristic survey? The test on this information will be open book and done during class time. ******************** SEPTEMBER 18, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are working on the Planet Cards in both Science class and Computer class. The students can use them when taking the test on Friday, Sept.25th. The cards will also be collected and graded on that day. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We have a test on Chapter 2 on Monday, Sept.21. The entire test is closed book. Students must know the equations for both photosynthesis and respiration. They must also know the steps of mitosis in order. They have good notes about what to study for the test. Then we move on to heredity. Be prepared to have them question you about physical traits that are similar within your family. SEPTMEBER 11, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will begin the study of the planets in our solar system. The students will be required to make a set of "Planet Cards". Directions and materials will be handed out next week. They will be due the following week. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - The Chapter 1 test has been handed back to the students. As usual, I offer a "Repair" assignment for students who want to do extra to improve their grades. We will continue our study of cells by looking at the processes that occur in cells. ****************************** September 3, 2009 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will continue our study of the moon and be ready for our test on Chapter 1 on Friday, Sept.11. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We will review the information on the cell and be ready for the test on Chapter 1 on Thursday, Sept. 10. ********************************** AUGUST 28, 2009 WELCOME BACK SCIENCE STUDENTS!!!! 7TH GRADE SCIENCE - Our first book on Astronomy will have us learning about the moon, rockets, and satellites next week. No test is planned, but we will be doing a fun activity that involves food. 8TH GRADE SCIENCE - We are learning about plant and animal cells and all the organelles inside. ****************************** Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
