This is our last unit on chemicals and students will explore various synthetic and natural made chemicals. We will discuss the risks and benefits of certain chemicals, including exposure, potency, and side effects. This week Mr. Wilkinson and I will coordinate so students can research a specific chemical in groups and present it to the class. Each group will research their chemical's Material Safety Data Sheet, level of toxicity, its status as a carcinogen, its risks and benefits, and if it is a preservative/sulfite/nitrate, etc.
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. Please have the money in by Wednesday March 21st so we may order the books.
Homework for the week:
Monday: pg. 329 Review #1-3, Reflect #1
Tuesday: pg. 333 all, start researching chemical
