This week we continue looking at the Human Body. Remember, as we go through this entire unit, add to, redo, edit your Human Body Notebook 10 projects. Send it to hoopmanscience@gmail.com. This week as a class we are editing and adding to the pages on the digestive and urinary systems.
Compare and contrast mechanical and chemical digestion?
What is a vestigal organ(like the appendix)?
How do the kidneys filter blood?
Contracts for this week focus on these questions. Use the Human Body Google Doc we created as a list of resources to use in your research and use lasts week's form to add new resources.

How does water move underground??
What rock types make up our aquifer?
How can aquifers purify water?
How can aquifers become contaminated?
Where/How do we get our drinking water?
Contracts for this week focus on these questions.
Make It Rain Design Challenge! Vote Now!
Several groups were challenged to design a device to make it rain on the water model. Now its up to you to choose the one that would work and will be made! View the entries on the slideshow below(click on it to link to a larger view) and then vote on the Google Doc form below!

Seventh Grade Week 11
This week we begin our unit on the Human Body. As we go through this entire unit, add to, redo, edit your Human Body Notebook 10 projects. Send it to hoopmanscience@gmail.com.
What are the organ systems of the human body?
What do they do?
How do they interact with each other?
Contracts for this week focus on these questions.
We have been doing a lot to research organ sysmtems beyond the information in the book. In fact we have done that with most topics this year. How do we know that the information we find is reliable, understandable, appropriate for the discussion? Fill in the form below to create a Google doc spreadsheet of site we deem the best.
