Tuesday Class

Today in class we had a discussion about food poisoning. With the Thanksgiving break upon us it was a good time to discuss bacteria and bring it to life by bringing in the topic of food poisoning. There is currently no homework due!
Have a great Thanksgiving Break!

Monday Class

Today in class we finished the reading exercise on Lake Erie.
There is currently no homework due.

Friday Class

Students took their Great Lakes Ecology Test today.

Thursday Class

Today in class we finished part "A" of our Lake Erie reading activity. The students read about the pollution problems that faced Lake Erie. Therefore, to bring the scenario to life, we wanted to make a connection to the pollution problems that Lake Macatawa faces here in Holland, MI. We watched a short video put on by the Macatawa Watershed Project. We then had time (about 10 minutes) to study and ask questions for tomorrows Great Lakes Ecology test.

Wednesday Class

Today in science class we did two things:
1. We did a larger CPS quiz covering many of the topics that will be on Friday's test.
2. We started a science reading activity about Lake Erie and that lakes troubled past. This activity will be spread out over a number of days. The activity sheet can be found on our Great Lakes Ecology Page.

Tuesday Class

Today we did two things:
1. We did our class presentations from learning station #4. Presentations were about issues with the beach zone in regards to Sand Dune ecology. The presentations were AWESOME!
2. We handed out a review sheet for our upcoming Great Lakes Ecology Test. The test will be this Friday. A review sheet is available on our Great Lakes Ecology page. Information from the last test is fair game as well. A copy of the basic ecology test can be found on our basic ecology page.

See yesterday's blog entry for information about the current homework that is due Wednesday!
