Week of September 19

Extra Credit:  If you happen to see the movie Contagion, please answer the following questions:
a.  What seemed to be common ways that germs were spread in the movie?
b.  Describe at least three kinds of technology you saw in the movie.
c.  Although this movie is fictional, many ideas in it are based on real science.  List three realistic science ideas/examples you noticed in the movie.

Reading-Wordskills p. 11-16 due tomorrow; we will be reading "Stop the Sun" this week in our textbook.
Science-labs due today; study Ch. 2 vocabulary (genetics, traits, gene, genotype, phenotype); I will assign Ch. 2 activities tomorrow.  We will decide in class if they will be due Monday or Tuesday.

Remember, Thursday is "Wendy's Night".  If you go to Wendy's on Archer and Laramie to purchase a meal, the proceeds benefit the 8th grade class.
