SCIENCE Mrs. Malinowski socalmalo@cox.net SCIENCE SUCCESS PARENT'S LETTER
Welcome to the St. Francis of Assisi Middle School Science Page! General Science News HAPPY NEW YEAR! This week we will spend time reviewing the science material from before the break. In each class, we are very close to finishing up a chapter. Let’s get our cells firing in the science part of our brain and be ready for chapter tests by the end of the week! The Science lab book that every science student has is to remain in the classroom. Do not leave it in the desk or in your locker.
Since this is the week before grades are turned in, it is important to have your lab book in the bin so that you will receive grades for your two-pointers. The lab books will be checked this Friday or next Monday. Every class was given a list of two pointers that were assigned prior to the break so that students could catch up if they were absent. Remember that the 2-pointer counts as a quiz grade and is added in at the end of the term. There will not be any more lists of past two-pointers, so each day the student needs to make sure they do the 2 pointer in the lab book. 7th and 8th grade Science Project information Every Monday you should bring your Science Project binder to class. Be aware of homework and deadlines related to your science project. Remember that there is a separate section on the Web site that is related to the Science Fair. It has a copy of many of the materials related to the science project. The next deadline is January 9. On this day, you will review your proposal with other students. The Experimental Design Diagram is also due. This will be distributed in class with directions on how to complete it.

Eighth Grade Science Reminder: We re-instituted the homework turn-in box for eighth grade. Since this is the only class that has a box in the 7th grade classroom, you don’t need to worry that you will turn it into the “wrong” box. The procedure is to turn in your homework into the box when you go to get your lab book for your daily two-pointer. Important Dates: CHAPTER TEST Friday, Jan 9 After the test, students will share their science fair proposal. Thursday, Jan 8, students are welcome to join in a test review session during homework hour with Mrs. Malinowski between 3:00 and 4:00 pm.
