You will be able to get information (such as make up work and extra credit) about science class, see cool videos, ask questions and make comments at this page. I believe that education should be as hands on as possible so get ready. This year is going to be a blast! __//**Make up work: **//__ If you have been absent from class you can make up your missing assignment by creating an element bag for our periodic table wall. White lunch bags can be purchased at Walmart,Target and Dollar Tree.

Update!!!!!!!! ﻿There are 6 new vocabulary words added today, March 28. Earth is an amazing place and it's always changing. Some changes happen from within our planet while others are a product of external forces. Either way everyday is different here on the third rock from the sun.
