This Week - 2/17

Assalamu alikum,

This week is all about tests. At least in science class. All science classes have a test on Tuesday. The students have been reviewing at home and in class and in sha'allah, all students will be successful. Below is what to expect this week.


6th Grade - In science, students have a test on Minerals on Tuesday and will then begin learning about rocks and the rock cycle. They will begin by learning the main characteristics by which rocks are classified and will get their hands on some rocks to see for themselves. In math, we are learning more about data and graphs through box and whisker plots to understand measures of variability and stem and leaf plots to organize information to identify patterns.

7th Grade - After their test in Tuesday, students will be moving onto Life Science. Our first unit will be on cells and cellular processes. In the coming weeks, students will have the opportunity to see cells first hand through our microscopes and compare and contrast different specialized cells. In math, we are finishing up the unit on percent. This week students will be investigating percent through food consumption and analyzing percentages, parts and wholes through the Nutrition Facts of their favorite foods.

8th Grade - The students have a test on Tuesday which will be followed by their new unit on electromagnetic radiation and light. In math, after finishing a test Monday, they will change gears into geometry as we begin a unit of transformational geometry.
