Science Fair

Science Fair projects will being in class on Monday, October 15th, 2012.  Students in each of the 3 periods will have 3 different projects to choose from.  There will be a total of 9 presented by Peirce 6th Grade students at the Science Fair.

Please note, for those wishing to do their own experiments at home, I will need a written procedure before I can approve any experiment.  It is important that students explore science on their own.  While the goal is to perform and present at a high level, it is also significant for students to learn the process and reasoning behind science experimentation.  Please contact me with questions.  I am looking forward to seeing some amazing work!

Homework 10/11 and 10/12

1st & 2nd Period Humanities
Extended Response on Early Humans is due Tuesday, October 16th.  Please start now so you can ask questions tomorrow if you have any.  I have additional tools that may help you with the writing process if something is not clear.  Remember, Early Humans used tools to make their lives easier, so can you!
