Assalamu alikum,
Every class has vocabulary for the week posted under the link in each grade's science class. It is at the top and say something like "Quizlet Vocabulary Sets and Practice". It links the students to a site that I set up with the week's science vocabulary where students have 6 different activities to practice their vocabulary terms prior to vocab quizzes and tests. Each week I will be adding new sets.
What are we doing this week?
6th graders are working on dividing fractions and mixed numbers this week along with fraction operation word problems. In science, we are learning about all types of adaptations and interactions such as predation, competition and symbiosis.
7th graders are talking about ratios in terms of scale and will be using maps and map scales to determine distances between cities and certain destinations. They will also create scale drawings of the layout of their room, and creating a 3-D model of a buildings walls using a scaled blur print. In science, we are now in our new unit on chemical building blocks and are learning and the structure and characteristics of atoms. Look for lots of mini-projects interpreting and creating atomic models. 
8th graders moving into a new math unit on the "shapes of numbers" learning how to find the square root of whole numbers and relating the square root as the length of a number as represented by an area. In science, they are getting an idea of how big the universe is and how stars are grouped around the universe and where we are located on our galaxy. Jazak Allah Khayr,
