Science 7

Students are continuing to work in their new groups. Each group was given a specific topic that they would become the experts on. The groups will present the information in the coming weeks (most after spring break). In order to explain and teach their topic, the students are creating a visual aid, a demonstration, a worksheet, a review and a quiz/test. Each student received a calendar that outlines when each aspect is to be turned in. We have been working all last week and will continue to do so. We were in the computer lab on Friday and today with one more scheduled day next week Monday.
Tomorrow the visual aid, demonstration write-up, and notes must be completed. On Friday, the worksheet and script will be turned in.
