Students are doing a very good job with Chapter presentations on LAND. Content is thorough and visual aids are engaging- some good utube videos and geat taste testing of Organic Foods- Bananas and Milk.
We will finish presentations on Tuesday and move into a group of review topics from the LAND unit:
Toxic Elements, DDT, Rocks and Minerals, Mining, and Organic Foods. We will finish the unit watching the movie Erin Brokovich.
*** Action Points: Saturday class, Feb. 18. 9-11am. See you at GEMPP for fun with kids.
Final 30 Action Points are due on Monday, March 12.

Biology - B
Students are studying Cell Processes. I hope everyone is reviewing at home and memorizing thos equations along with the steps of Mitosis - IPMAT.
We will be filming Mitosis skits next week. Cell Division is how we grow and how our body repairs itself.
This will also lead to do major topics next week: Cancer and Stem Cells.
Our Exam will be Tuesday, February 28.

Environmental Science
First Off, thank you to all students for the Lodge Trip letters- chaperones really enjoyed them!
Stay tuned for the date and itinerary of the April Ozark Canoe & Cave Trip. News here first!!!
Students have completed the Forest Unit with their assessment project on a specific National Forest!
It was fun for so many students to have packets mailed to them from their NF- over 90% this year.
Thanks again to Tyler Brown, Tristan Farrell, Anne Florich, and Chris Kirchoff for attending the GEMPP Commission meeting on Feb. 7. Their comments and stories were well received by the members in attendance. All classes and projects have been approved for the 2012-13 School Year.
Back in the classroom, We have begun the LAND Unit with a Cooperative Learning Group Project. Groups have chosen a chapter to present / teach to their classmates- AND NATIONAL DATA says peer teaching/ peer tutoring is the best form of learning- real understanding if you can tell others!
There are 7 Chapters from Toxins to Organic Farming to Mining, Energy, and our Waste!!
Presentations will be the week of Feb. 13-17. ATTENDANCE IS CRITICAL THIS WEEK.
Action Points Opportunity: Saturday, grade school class assistant-- Feb. 18, 9-11am. 20 Action Pts.

Biology- B
February is rolling along a bit warm outside, microscope week has ended, and we are working Cell Processes inside! Students have been mastering Photosynthesis in Plants and Cell Respiration.
Most work is being done in class, HOWEVER, students are encouraged to study their notes or the textbook 10-15 minutes each night to help memorize this technical content in Biology.
Next week we will cover mitosis / cell division with yarn, drawings, and more microscope work.
*** Students will also be learning a great deal about Cancer and Stem Cells- very current science!!
