This Week At A Glance:
Science Skills- This week we will learn how to use the Triple-Beam Balance to determine the mass of various objects; if you have any items that do not violate school policy that you would like to bring to class determine their mass, feel free to do so this Monday.

Reading Initiative:
This quarter you will be required to read a BOOK and an ARTICLE of your own choosing on earth science, preferably on the topics we've covered or will be covering; you may also choose a sci-fi book with my approval or a biographical text. You may sign out books from the classroom libray or from the school library--I will notify Ms. Overstreet and let her know, so she might set aside some books for you; in addition, I have placed a set on books and magazines next to each table for you to browse and read once you're done with your class work. After you've read your book and article, you will be required to write a short report or summary using the printed forms that are next to the classroom library or you can download them from the classroom website--they are labeled as "Extra Credit Science ARTICLE Report Form" and "Extra Credit Science BOOK Report Form".
