HW due Monday, 3/6

Thursday and Friday the 8th graders are on the 8th grade retreat. I will be gone with them. In addition to normal grade level math and Spanish, 6th and 7th graders will be moving through grade level health rotations Thursday and Friday.

That means that your Core HW is not due until Monday, March 6th.

HW due Monday, March 6th:

1. Science Fiction Novel FINISHED (if you are beyond your first novel, you don't have to worry about finishing)

2. Science in my Science Fiction Activity Worksheet: Sci Fi Science Activity Worksheet Link
...Don't worry too much about overly specific details, essentially expand what you read about in your sci fi novel by looking at the current related real technology and science, cite your sources, and compare it to your book. If you get stuck on something, skip it and simply tell me something else you do know related to your book instead.

3. Innovation Water Rotation Activity: Water Rotation Reflection Link
...Pick one of the seven water rotation lessons you participated in these past weeks and reflect up on them.
