What’s Happening in Science – Week 12 ‘Soil’ (1/6 – 1/13

I hope everyone had a great Christmas break!!

We are studying Week 12 newsletter – Soil this week. We will test Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Tuesday — We will go over our new vocabulary words. We have six — and a few of these should be familiar because we have had them before. 🙂 Today we are reading page 1 of our newsletter and also about George Washington Carver. Students will write three facts about him on page 56 in their Science notebook.

Tuesday (Jan. 13) — Today students are taking their Week 12 quiz. I will also be checking their Science Notebook. This counts as a Test Grade. Pictured below is the Rubric I will use to score their work.
