Hey there everyone!!! We are back at it here in science class after I was out for a couple of days at the state science conference in Winston-Salem. This week we are starting our new unit on Evolution and Genetics. We have an entire set of new vocab words this week that will be due next week on Monday the 24th. We will also have a quiz that day over these words and their definitions. See below for the list of words. Today in class, we kicked off our evolution unit by learning a bit about Darwin and his voyage around the world. Students used a "webquest" site from PBS and worked in class to complete the assignment. Curious about this assignment or out absent? Click HERE to check it out. Tomorrow we will be taking some notes on Darwin and evolution/natural selection. Check back tomorrow for a link to that PowerPoint and the fill-in-the-blank notes for your interactive notebooks. NEW VOCAB WORDS DUE 11/24/14
