Teaching Middle School Science

In physical science this week we are learning about potential and kinetic energy, practicing reading nor fiction texts and learninf simple machines.  There is a quiz on Wednesday on chapter 5 vocabulary and potential and kinetic energy.  Our homework is Key Terms Work and Simple Machines (chapter 5), due Monday November 4th.  I will be going to the National Middle School conference Thursday, October 30 and Friday October 31.

This week the 8th grade is administering the Explore test, and of course, we have parent teacher conferences 3:15-7 p.m. on Wednesday and 3 to 7 on Thursday.  We are studying scientific methods and Kinetic energy.  Our homework is answer the questions 1-13 on page 121.

I look forward to seeing you at conferences.
