7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today's science class consisted of the students continuing to work on their procedures needed to complete the deer study. Students went outside to the soccer field and worked on their compass skills. Students then came back inside to calculate the different percentages of canopy coverages they observed in the field work they did yesterday.
Homework: none


7th Grade Math: Today in math students went over the definition of scientific notation for review. They started the day doing a Problem of the day, before jumping into examples and a further explanation of how to convert numbers between standard form and scientific notation. After a few practice problems, students were given a worksheet to assess their skills.
