Welcome to Science

We have done a few introductory activities to prepare for Science and had a blast with our Diet Coke-Mentos Challenge! Ask you student about it! This unit is on Matter. Your student should have brought home the book, Introduction to Matter. We have explored the development of the Atomic Theory, the structure of Atoms, and are beginning to study Mass, Volume and Density. This unit is approximately 5 weeks long, ending just before the Christmas break. You can help your student each evening by asking them to tell you what they learned in class. As your student explains to you, he or she will reinforce the material.

As we are in the middle of flu season, and students are home sick, it's important to encourage your student to complete the work they missed. REAL time is a great opportunity for students to receive extra time and help from teachers to makeup work. However, it is only 36 minutes twice a week. If a student misses more than a couple days, they will need to be spending time at home working on assignments also. Please contact me at school if you have any concerns!
