Grade 8s will receive review every day until the EOGs. We will have practice testing on Tuesday and Wednesday - Tuesday is the practice EOG Science test and it will be graded by Friday. I will let you know the results on the progress reports and will contact you ASAP if your child makes a level 2 on the test. Your child will also receive tutoring on Wednesday and Friday if they make a level 2 (plus regular in school remediation) - more details to come. In addition, because we have practice EOG tests, I do not see 8b for two days, but see 8A in the afternoon so each group will have a different set of homework.
We are continuing to work on our Microbes booklet and I will show protist mini-videos of Euglena, Paramecium, and Amoebas. Students will see how amoebas engulf their prey by a process called "phagocytosis". We will explore how each protist moves, its animal and plant characteristics, special features, and binary fission. We will also see a mini-video of how viruses reproduce themselves by attaching to cells, produced by npr.org.
