Week: 38
Over the past three weeks the 7th Graders have been working on the cell, its structure, functions, and processes. The highlight of this unit was comparing and making analogies of the cell to a factory. The kids designed their own factories using the organelles of the cell. The class was then introduced to the chemistry of the cell; diffusion, photosynthesis, and respiration. This was an introduction to next years chemistry units, but more importantly, it is always fun to see the look on kids faces when a chemical reaction takes place. Lastly, the dissection of the frog always excites them to see how life evolves and how more complex the frog is from the worm.
Another year has passed and I hope your son or daughter enjoyed how science works and how we need it in the world we live in. Have a safe and relaxing summer!
Sincerely,
Mr. T
