Scandal

Unfortunately, there has been a cheating scandal surrounding the 8th grade science chemistry final.
Therefore, all classes will be taking another chem final next week either Monday or Tuesday. Same concepts from the first time. NO 3x5 notecards will be allowed.
In the meantime, we are starting our bottle rockets. Each team of two needs three(3) 2Liter Bottles.
We are going to start on this starting Mon or Tuesday of next week!

Test Correction

Students corrected their Science Test in class - so hopefully they learned something from mistakes.
Students will need Three empty 2Liter bottles (per 2 person group) for our rocket unit.
Start collecting now!
We will start working on them on May 13th but some students might want to paint them before that date!!
