Hello Students!!

I hope all is well with you and your families. In this email I am going to give you your homework for this week. This work will be entered in the grade book and will have an impact on your 4th marking period science grade as well as your final science grade. I know you definitely have the time to complete the work. According to the Newsela and IXL, it has been taking students an average of around 3 hours total to complete the work. I also am cognizant that this is an unprecedented time for you as student as well as for me the teacher. I am sensitive to the amount of work and quality of work I am receiving. With that said, do your best. Learning is for you.

HOMEWORK FOR THIS WEEK:

Complete the IXL Engineering Practices (7th Grade Letter C) Parts 1 and 2. Remember to get full credit you must have a smart score of over 80. This work should be completed before noon on Saturday, April 25th.

Science Fair project. I have explained this before, but now that it is closing in on the due date (This is due May 8th) I am explaining it here once again. As mentioned, you are only completing the beginning portion of the science fair project. You are NOT asked to complete the actual experiment. You are NOT asked to work with your partner. Although, you can work with your partner via the internet. You will need to type out the beginning part of the science fair project and submit it into my Google Classroom. The portion you are completing should look like: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vyjqXZqBKf64n6o8low4ZrMNWDh-BS-2a02yWY8WEL8/edit?usp=sharing
