Science: Mrs. Tobey

This week, we learned why we experience seasons! Today they were given a study guide for their summative on Tuesday 10-29. They will start working on the study guide in class, but may need to complete it over the weekend.


We need pumpkins! Next week, students will be doing a pumpkin drop lab on Wednesday and Thursday. We will relate the lab back to gravity and talk about how craters are formed.


Science conversation starters (ask your student): What causes direct and indirect sunlight, and what does the difference in sunlight cause?
