Grade 8: Week of March 12th to 16th

We are just finishing up our Law of Conservation of Mass unit and students learned about binary and polyatomic ions, as well as organic compounds. Students will receive their review sheet on Tuesday and we will have a test Friday. We will begin our new chapter on the risks and benefits of chemicals on Thursday.

You will receive an email or letter from me this week about EOG coach books. I would very much appreciate if each parent could purchase an EOG coach book for Science. It will cost only $6.00 and students will use it on a regular basis to prepare for the EOG exam. It has mini-lessons, questions very similar to the EOG, and EOG practice tests. I will assign homework from the EOG coach book and we will do exercises in class and during remediation time. The cost break down of the book is the following: $4.99 + 12% for shipping + 6.75% NC sales tax/per book = $5.93 + 5.95 shipping and handling per order. I will pay the remainder of the shipping and handling so we can keep the book cost at an even $6.00.

Homework for the week:

Monday night: pg. 317-318 multiple choice questions and Skills and Concepts #1-6

Tuesday: remainder of the review sheet

Wednesday and Thursday night: study for the Law of Conservation of Matter test
