Today in Integrated science class, students received back their test work from the Forces and Motion unit Test, and they determined that what areas/concepts they had mastered.

Science 8 classes were in various places. Period 4 finished the Evolution and Natural Selection 2016 notes,  and then worked on a short simulation of diversity and natural selection with the   Natural Selection game called “Who wants to live a Million years?”. Students in periods 4 and 5 were able to grade their Natural Selection Worksheet, and students who did not earn a 5/6 or higher were asked to redo theirs and resubmit with a new made up example that they research. Afterwards, students reflected on the various activities and notes we have done so far to record big ideas they need to remember as well as observations and conclusions that have been deduced from the unit so far. Students in period 5 were also able to begin a short simulation called the Dinosaur Natural Selection Classroom Simulation.
