Science/Health ~ Weeks of January 16th and 23rd

Students are providing details about the progress of their science fair projects during class this week.  We will start each day with a science fair discussion so students who may have questions can ask them.  It's important that all students have started the process of working on their projects so they have enough time to conduct their experiments, record observations, and analyze their data to draw their conclusions.

Next week students will bring a paper home for parents to sign detailing their progress with their projects.  REMEMBER!!!  SCIENCE FAIR PROJECTS AND WRITTEN REPORTS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1st.

We started a new Health unit this week on communicable and noncommunicable diseases.  Students will be learning about how they are different and some causes,  they'll be learning about different types of microbes, and also how those microbes can be spread.  In addition, they will  learn preventative measures and how vaccines are used.
