Time is flying by! This week we’ll create a study guide for a formal assessment on rocks, minerals, and fossils. This quiz will take place on Wednesday, October 8th. We’ll also (hopefully!) get to play around with plate tectonics and finally plant a potato farm.

Theme Update

Students are welcome to bring them in early if they want : )

We have been studying UFOs from many angles: Area 51, reports from astronauts and airline pilots, and eye witness accounts. At this time, about 2/3 of the class feel that there is probably intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but only a very few feel that the earth has been visited by extraterrestrials. The students have been divided into random teams and on Wednesday we will be debating this issue. I think this will be very interesting, especially since students are not necessarily arguing on the side in which they believe!
