Thursday October 8th

7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today's science class was shortened due to an assembly. The deer biology project was due at the start of class. After turning this project in students worked in a small group to review a scenario that a wildlife biologist working for ADF&G might work through. Students considered how scientist might choose to measure/calculate populations of deer within a certain area. Tomorrow they will continue this activity by proposing possible study designs that might help scientists determine why a population is decreasing.
Homework: none


7th Grade Math: Today in math students completed a quiz over sections 2.1-2.3 (adding, subtracting, and multiplying decimals). Following the quiz students then learned how to divide with decimals. Key concepts included becoming familiar with the terms: quotient, dividend, and divisor.
