Homework tonight:
7th Grade: Welcome back to the blog after a brief rest around the Midterm exam!


Homework tonight:

7th Graders: Current Event on article about how scientists got yeast cells to clump together, with some discussion of why that was an advantage: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/17/science/yeast-reveals-how-fast-a-cell-can-form-a-body.html.  Remember, Current Events must contain the following information: 1) Name of Article; 2) Name of Author; 3) Date of article; 4) Source of Article (that is, who published it....give the name of the newspaper, magazine, blog, website, etc.); 5) Write a summary (a short, plain statement focused on the main point of the article and at least 3 supporting details and it MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS). 

Sixth (6th)Graders: 5 STAR note questions.  Be sure to complete (if not already done) and turn in your water pollution STT Questions and AQs.
Period 3 students must also write a brief Reflection to respond to this question: What do you know about the Water Cycle? A Reflection is written on the left sided page; put another way, it's written on the back of today's (or in this case, yesterday's) page. In a Reflection, you think back about what you know or what you found out. In other situations, I would ask you to tell me how you would do things differently, or what you could do better next time, but that doesn't fit this context. "Brief" means at least 3 sentences, here.
