6th grade Science:

Monday - This is our Water Quality PowerPoint presentation week!
For the three classes teams will be presenting in the following order:
Per 1 - G6, G7, G8, G9, G10, G1, G2, G3, G4 then G5.
Per 3 - G10, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8 then G9.
Per 6 - G7, G8, G9, G10, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 then G6.
We should be able to get through two to three groups in one period so for all teams to present it should take most of the week.
HW - None if you've already presented or if you are completely prepared.
Check my online progress report to see what you're missing. Email me if you need your password or something. This is the midterm week! Many 6th graders have never completed their weed pulling blog and many are still missing their macroinvertebrate notes. Get it done this week or this weekend!
