Here's a video for you to make an idea about this week topics:
Introduction to Heredity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhfK9lgK-_g

At the end of the week, that is for Nov. 3rd., we'll be studying DNA and genetic coding, as well as applied genetics.

As a classroom activity: Punnet Squares, here an image for you to have an idea:

Remember to work on your "How does light affects plants growth?"  project, tx-bk pag 102, and record any changed happend during the 6 weeks observation days. Ask your home relatives not to touch by no means your experiment objects: the 2 pots, one located in a dark spot, and the other located in plain sun light. No more homework but this important activity.

Enjoy your weekend. 










8th Grade, assignments activity update.

My dear Earth Science students, this week we'll be performing 2 lab practices to help us understand the topics about sea -floor spreading and Convection currents.This will be done Monday Oct. 31st.

For these activities, we need you to bring the following materials:
1. Rounded scissors                        4. Food coloring (the one used for making cake's frosting)
2. Colored markers                         5. aluminum foil (a roll of 25 feet)
3. Metric ruler                                6. plastic foil (a roll of 25 feet)

Distribute these materials for each team of students, remember we made groups last partial, keep the same distribution, and agree which material will bring each member of the team, so each team would have their own material to perform both lab practices.

At the end of the week we`ll be exploring The theory of Plate tectonics and Earthquakes, I'll be delivering a woork sheet about this topics, on monday, for you to resolve as a homework to be presented next week.

That will be all.
Enjoy your weekend.








9th Grade, assignments activity update.

In this week we'll be exploring: Ionic bonds and Covalent bonds and performing our 3rd. lab activity: Testing 1,2,3. tx-bk pag 97/98. I already ask for the materials that by next week should be ready for performing this activity. Check them out in your tx-bk. Remember it was programmed by teams.

Here's a video for you to have a clear view about Crystal Chemistry topic:
CBSE 12 Chemistry The Solid State - Unit Cells - Number Of Atoms In A Unit Cell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAeaHYSX0hs

At the end of the week, we'll be talking about Crystal Chemistry, and as a home work I suggest you resolve the Discover activity: Organizing the elements, tx-bk pag: 81, in your notebook. You can work this in pairs but the H/W is going to be evaluated individually.  

This we'll be all for this week my physical science students, enjoy your weekend.

SCIENCE, Assignment Letter for Oct 17th. to Oct. 21th., 2016

My dear 7th. graders:

For this week, we`ll be checking out our 1st. partial grading and performing a feedback of those topics that showed to be not as well understood and learned as expected, during this school year's first academic period.

This tuesday I've programed to develop a dialogued exposition with Ch.4 Cell's Theory and Structure, We`ll resolve some worksheets related to this topic to make a closure to every doubt that you could have about it.

By thursday we'll be starting Ch. 5 about cells and living organisms behavior and metabolism.

For those of you that need to undergo the leveling process, there is a Image with a chart to do about the animal cell and its organelles, explaining each one description and vital function, that will be  explained during our regular science class.

The image has to be about an animal cell that can be drawn with detail and colored, this issue is going to take into special account on the effort that the student makes by illustrating the cell's structure. As well for those students that don't have the drawing skill it can be printed in color or, cut from a science magazine but it has to be a least of a post card size.
Then each organelle has to be laveled with a code that match the chart that will contain each organelle description and function. Remember to make a comment about the particular structure that differentiate a plant cell from an animal cell.

This activity, has to be presented as a lab report in a spear file, with a forepage with the student`s personal information, subject and date. As well it will be valued as a leveling instrument for you to aprove the partial grading.


I hope that you can accomplish all you can and work hard this new academic period.

My dear 8th. graders:

For this week, we`ll be checking out our 1st. partial final grading, and performing a feedback of those topics that showed to be not as well understood and learned as expected, during this school year's first academic period.

By thursday we'll be starting Ch. 5 about earthquakes.
I hope that you can accomplish all you can and work hard this new academic period.

For those of you that need to undergo the leveling process, there is a guide of study to solve, about classifying rocks, that will be delivered and explained during our regular science class; this activity will be valued as a leveling instrument for you to aprove the partial grading.

It has to be presented as a lab report in a spear file with the student personal information, subject's name and date.

















My dear 9th. graders:

For this week, we`ll be checking out our 1st. partial final grading, and performing a feedback of those topics that showed to be not as well understood and learned as expected, during this school year's first academic period.
