Week of 9/25

This week we are starting grade level content!!!

Eighth grade is starting Physics.  We will start with reading.

7th Grade is starting with Astronomy.  We will start with a mini lecture.

Week of 9/18

This week in Mrs. Hutchings' Science class:

We are reviewing to prepare for our Inquiry Test.  The testing date has not yet been set, however, hopefully this week.  Students typically get a day or two warning of the test along with a study guide, however it depends on how well the reviews go this week.

EDITED:  The test will be on FRIDAY!  We will be reviewing for the test, but no study guide will be given.

Week of 9/11

This week in science we are continuing with measurements.  We will also revisit the metric system and conversions, as well as scientific processes.

Labor Day Week

A bit later than I had hoped, but this is what we are doing this week:

7th:  Finished up the Scientific Method notes, then move onto the Scientific Measurement Lab.
8th:  Work on the Scientific Measurement Lab.

Week of 8/28

Students have completed 2 station labs so far and taken quite a few notes.  This week we will:

• Continue our Scientific Method Notes - we are learning the process and will discuss how science is part of daily life
• Begin measuring like scientists

Edited:  We are continuing our work on the Scientific Method and will begin measuring (hopefully) next week.

Week of 8/21

Quick overview of events in Science:

Monday:  We wrapped up Science Safety with a homework assignment (due 8/24).
Tues - Fri:  We are starting the Scientific Method with a Lab!  Once we complete the lab, we will have power points and activities to complete.

Week of 8/14

This week we will be discussing safety in science class.  We are starting our first lab on Tuesday (7th) or Wednesday (8th).  We have also set up our notebooks and will begin adding information.
