Wednesday Class

Today in science class we had a number of things happening. First of all we addressed the following dates and their importance:
Thursday (Tomorrow): Rock ID Lab Test
Friday: Story Due and Artistic Rock Cycle Activity Due
Next Tuesday: Rock Test (Written)

Therefore, today in class we did the following:
1. Created a "cheat-cheat" for the rock id test tomorrow. This was done on a regular piece of paper and any information was/is fair.
2. The rocks were available for observation and study.
3. A review sheet for next weeks test was available. Students started to work on this.
4. Time was given to work on assignments due on Friday. Most student's did not get this far.

Many of these documents, including the review sheet, are available on our resource page.
