The chapter 16 test and benchmark test will need to be switched. All benchmark tests need to be administered by May 4th. So this Thursday and Friday you will take the benchmark test and next Wednesday you will take the Chapter 16 test.
Good luck on the CRCT.
After the CRCT is over we will have our test over chapter 16. 1st and 5th periods test will be on Thursday April 30th. 2nd and 4th periods test will be on Friday May 1st.
The following Wednesday the students will take the last Benchmark Test. You need to review the CRCT prep at the end of each chapter.
Get alot of rest and do your best.
All Science classes have some homework over the break.
First: they are to create a chart that list the fronts, describes them and draw a picture of each front.
Second: practice CRCT from the on-line practice test and review the CRCT practice test at the end of each chapter in the textbook.

The students will be testing over chapter 15. 1st and 5th pd will test on Thursday; 2nd and 4th on Friday. Make sure to review sections 1, 2, and 3. Only a few questions will come from section 4.
Tips: Try making your own flashcards, look over the chapter review questions, know the vocabulary.
I am finally back on my blog.
In science, we are studying Chapter 15 "TheAtmosphere".
This chapter introduces students to where our weather occurs and what causes winds.
Tonight for homework: AC science - complete the global winds worksheet. On the picture add the location of doldrums and horse latitudes. Draw arrows for the direction of the wind currents. Use your textbook for find the information.
Answer question for bonus points: Would there be winds if the Earth's surface were the same temperature everywhere? Explain your answer
All science classes will create (in a team) a mall store using either rocks, minerals, or elements that are associated with their stores' theme. Students will be researching different rocks to see how they are used in everyday life. The project is slowly under construction and will be completed on October 23rd (1st and 5th pds) and 24th (2nd and 4th pds).
Dates to remember: Test for chapter 4, AC classes Oct. 30th, reg classes Oct. 31st.

We are starting a new chapter (4) entilted "Rocks: Mineral Mixtures". You Will learn about the natural world by studying rocks. by the end of the chapter, you should demonstrate a clear understanding of the chapter's main ideas and be able to discuss the following topics:
1. how rocks were used by early humans and how rocks are used today.
2. what the rock cycle is
3. what characteristics of rocks help in classification
4. how the cooling rate of magma affects igneous rock
5. what the differences are between igneous rock that cools deep within the crust and igneous rock that cools at the surface
6. how to identify igneous rock formations
7. how the three types of sedimentary rock form
8. how sedimentary rock records the Earth's history
9. how a rock can undergo metamorphism
10. how the mineral composition of rock changes during metamorphism
11. how foliated rock and nonfoliated rock differ

Mrs. Hebb's class ROCKS !!!
We have been studying the scientific method and the skills that good scientists use such as; observing, inferring, measuring, and safety.
Today, we are learning about variables and the different types, along with writting hypothesis.
1st and 5th period will have a quiz over the students notes on Monday, Sept 10.
2nd and 4th period will have a quiz over the notes on Tuesday, Sept 11. All students should be reviewing their notes and have their notebooks up to date.
Welcome!! This is will be an exciting year. I look forward to see all of your smiling faces on Monday. Have a great weekend.
Mrs. Hebb 6-3 Science
