Change test day

Next week are the ISAT tests so that kills our test. Instead we will have a take home worksheet. The students will have some time to work on it during class, but they will also be allowed to take it home. It might be a bit more difficult than a test since they will be allowed to use their books and notes, but it will allow them to review the information they have learned in this section. That way we can move forward and finish before the school year ends.

Today we covered the five kingdom of organisms. Animal, plant, bacteria, fungus and protist. We talked about their individual characteristics and took notes on the different organisms from each kingdom. The students were curious - what category is a tick, or a maggot, or a pill bug. We looked those things up and they learned a little more.
