Students are working on unit projects in the class.  Gr 8 had 2 class periods to work on the project while gr 7 had 3.  After that, if students want to work on the project they have to come in at noon or after school. The unit project is due on Thursday Oct. 9.  If it is completed before that time, students are allowed to turn it in early.
Science 8
Today we did a demonstration lab about density.  The challenge is now on.  Who can make a bigger density tower - Mrs Buzak or one of her students? A simple density tower is located on page 60 in the text book.  If you want to keep the tower for later - don't use milk as it will turn sour!! Later if students don't want to keep their towers, I would love to have them as decorations around the room. Food coloring is allowed to show the different layers.   The students are going to send me a digital picture of themselves with their tower and I will post the different towers on the blog with mine as well.  The towers will be due on Friday Oct 17.
