What are we going to be studying in science class?
While we study the topics listed below, we will have some other science-related assignments to help you along your way toward a rich and rewarding academic life studying science.
- Science Current Event Reports. These REQUIRED assignments will be due each month. Basically I ask you to find a recent news article of your choice related to science. You will summarize the article, and then you will tell me what you learned and what should be done about the topic. I also want you to identify three science-related vocabulary words and write their definitions.
- Robotics Club. You are welcome to participate in the Science Club. We plan to dig a little deeper into various science concepts, and do more “hands-on” activities.
