7th & 8th Grade General Science: Today in science we transitioned into the next piece of our human biology unit, with an introduction to vitamins and minerals. Students spent the first bit of time trying to classify a list of vitamins and minerals into the correct groups, before being handed a packet with information concerning all of the vitamins and minerals. Students will have to choose six vitamins and six minerals and go into further detail concerning each of them tomorrow when we continue with this activity.Homework: None
7th Grade Math: Today in math, students began class by working with their flashmasters for the first five minutes of class. Students then took a quiz covering sections 6.1 through 6.3. Afterwards, students reviewed the rules of multiplying integers, before introducing the rules for dividing integers (section 6.5). We will jump head first into dividing integers tomorrow.
Homework: None.
