This week's topic is the weather.
What causes High and Low pressure in the atmosphere?
What makes the winds blow?
Hopefully our contracts will take us outside to see the weather.

Eighth Grade Week 27
We change gears this week and focus on biology for the last few weeks of school. First, we take a look at the cell, it's parts, and how we study it.
How do even the smallest cells show the characteristics of living things?
What are the functions of specific cell parts?
This section looks at the use of microscopes. I see that the counter that I cleaned off for the chemistry unit has fallen into squalor in my absence. Let's clean that up so I can challenge you to use the microscopes we have to help your classmates to see the small world you are trying to describe in your classwork and contracts.
