Science Fair Presentation-Tips and Tricks

8SS - Reviewed the definitions and explanations of monarchy, oligarchy, tyranny, and democracy.  Learned about the population breakdown of ancient Athens; we took these facts and used them in charts then applied math calculations to determine what portion of a pie graph was represented by each group.
8B ELA - Corrected David's World in Ruins (assigned yesterday).  Reviewed maps of Europe and thought about the route David could have taken as opposed to the route he did take.  HOMEWORK:  EUROPE IN THE 1950S AND READ ALL OF CHAPTER 2.
7SS - Discussed the Hunger Activity; focussed on how it so like the real world.  NO HOMEWORK
7REL - Began a section on the Ten Commandments.  Read a story "My Friend".  HOMEWORK:  P.51, Q 1-4.

**Grades 5-8 students gathered in the MPR today to hear from a university student about science fair projects; where they can lead, tips, and other ideas.
