Science 8 - Thurs 2/21 (Snow Day) - For the ENTIRE class

Tomorrow will likely be shortened split classes, so this assignment is for EVERYONE.

Read the rest of Ch10 Lesson 2 and take notes (you should begin your notes on/about p. 357)
The text and notetaking guide are on Google classroom

Do w/s 35/38 - also posted on GCR

**REMINDER - The Periodic Table project is due on Monday. Now would be a good time to start working on it! Even if you don't have the construction paper with you, you can look up your elements and start writing down info.

Science 7 - 2/21 (Snow Day)

Read p. 202-205 and take notes: 
Notes should include:
 - 4 steps in Natural Selection (see fig.8 in book)
 - define adaptations (in your own words)
 - 3 types of adaptations
 - what are camouflage and mimicry?
 - what is artificial selection? Define Selective Breeding

Do w/s 40/41 (I handed out this worksheet on Tues.)

*Posted on Google Classroom is a notetaking guide - optional for you to print off or copy

*Be ready for a QUIZ tomorrow on Lesson 2

(Regarding yesterday's activity - if you are confused or struggling with it, do your best to arrange the fossils in order, but don't stress; we will look at it together in class tomorrow and you can finish the key in your journal at that time.)

Science 7 - 2/20 (Snow Day)

Happy Snow Day!

Do the "Dating Fossils" activity that you received in class yesterday (w/s 24).

Read the directions carefully.

The 'fossil names' page is for you to cut apart and make it easier to arrange them, but is optional and can be discarded when finished. (Hint: using a separate piece of paper, divide and label the 5 layers, then use the clues to arrange and rearrange the fossils until all criteria are met)

The finished product: the fossil key, goes in your journal, colored neatly (Journal entry #27: Dating Fossils)
