We have begun our new unit….Scientific Method.  During this unit, students will explore the proper procedure to conduct reliable and valid experiments to answer scientific questions.

Welcome to the new school year!  For our first unit we’ll be exploring impact of science on society; specifically through technology.

Students will be exploring the differences in technology today and that of 30+ years ago.  We’ll take a look at how we have used and continue to use technology and how technology continues to develop.

We’ll be working on this in class, but students can continue their exploration at home.

Our library has compiled links (and passwords) to sites that can help with student research, you can find that here:
