Oct. 12 - 14

Currents, and Waves, and Tides....Oh My!


We started a new unit this month and throughout this unit we will be using the alternate text, "Ocean's Waters." This means you don't have to carry around your Science Book for a whole month! 

Here are some upcoming events for you to mark in your assignment books:

Wed. October 12 - Quiz on 3.2 & 3.3 Vocabulary Terms (Ocean current, downwelling, upwelling, crest, trough, wave height, wavelength, and longshore current). Make sure you study these terms using the study sheet you created on Friday!

Fri. October 28 - 7th Grade Incentive Party! (requirements - Less than 5 reminders and absolutely no zeros for the entire month of October)
