Thursday September 11th

7th & 8th Grade General Science:
In science class we had a discussion of what behaviors need to occur when we are working with the walls open (projects/group work). We then introduced the Elements of Design that will be a focus of all project work that we complete in science class. These elements of design include Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity and are emphasized for the purpose of increasing the visual effectiveness and professional appearance of student work.
