Science 7

We have completed our Precipitation/Storms unit, so the students are watching the movie Twister. The movie brings up some great points of conversation, especially (so far) when they are talking about the Fujita scale, the diameter of various tornadoes and precipitation that may accompany the storm.

Social Studies 7

We have been discussing Unit 4, Sociology for the past few weeks. Today, students began a series of different reviews for an upcoming test. This assignment was done in class. Quite a few students completed the worksheet, those that did not finish will be given some time to complete the assignment before we discuss it as a class.
