Although we will not have face-to-face classes this week, it is essential to push forward and continue our hard work! Below I have attached each grade's lessons for the week. Please work through these activities as these are strictly a review of previous 9 weeks' materials. Students should not have issues working through these, HOWEVER, if there are any questions please do not hesitate to reach out. I am more than happy to help in any way I can during this time. 

**ALL ASSIGNMENTS, NOTES, REVIEW MATERIALS HAVE BEEN POSTED ON MY GOOGLE CLASSROOM FOR REFERENCE AS WELL

 

8th: This week, we will be reviewing the processes of asexual and sexual reproduction, the phases and steps of mitosis and meiosis, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. There are extra notes and resources available on my google classroom if needed. The worksheets that should be completed this week are attached below. PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. 

 

7th: This week, we will be reviewing physical and chemical properties and changes, the periodic table, and elements. There are extra notes and resources available on my google classroom if needed. The worksheets that should be completed this week are attached below. PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. 

 

 

I understand this is a difficult time as we transition from break to at-home learning, however, it is important that we continue to grow, learn, and build on the strong foundations we have created this year. I am incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication of these students, and I am eager to see them back in our classroom routine very soon! Enjoy your break, stay safe, and WASH YOUR HANDS :)

Thursday- Exam on standards:

• E.7.9A.1 Analyze and interpret weather patterns from various regions to differentiate between weather and climate
• E.7.9A.2 Analyze evidence to explain the weather conditions that result from the relationship between the movement of water and air masses. 
• E.7.9A.3 Interpret atmospheric data from satellites, radar, and weather maps to predict weather patterns and conditions. 
• E.7.9A.4 Construct an explanation for how climate is determined in an area using global and surface features (e.g. latitude, elevation, shape of the land, distance from water, global winds and ocean currents).

Wednesday, February 5- Exam on standards E.7.9C.1-E.7.9C.2

• L.7.3.2 Analyze and interpret data to explain how the processes of photosynthesis, and cellular respiration (aerobic and anaerobic) work together to meet the needs of plants and animals. 
• L.7.3.3 Use models to describe how food molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins) are processed through chemical reactions using oxygen (aerobic) to form new molecules.

 

8th Grade Standard:
