Science - Mrs. Milone (5/8/08)

• Recently students have gotten back their Astronomy Final and their water model and writing piece.  They also took their first Oceanography quiz today, and will get those back on Monday.    At the end of the day tomorrow students will be turning in their ocean graphs. 

• NECAP Testing in Science will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday next week.  It covers everything students have been learning in Science for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.  Students will be getting a review packet of Life Sciences to help refresh their memories (Life Sciences are explored in 6th grade).  Most will be done in class this Friday, and Monday, but some will be homework over the weekend.
