7th & 8th Grade General Science:
In science students worked on questions relating to scaling of the Sun-Earth-Moon system. The class was then introduced to a mini project we will be working on in which student construct a scale model of either the Earth and Moon, the Earth and Sun, or our solar system as it lies in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Homework: If students did not finish their questions A-K in class, then it was assigned to be completed as homework.
