Middle School Math & Science

with Mr. Friedrich
2009 – 2010

 

ü      In 6th and 8th grade, each chapter is read and discussed. Our procedure includes note taking, worksheets, study guides, and chapter reviews. These help students prepare for chapter tests. Lab activities are an important part of all students’ scientific experiences. 

ü      In 8th grade, the topic is explored through experimentation when possible, those in red below. Our procedure includes note prediction, experimentation, observation, and discussion. These activities help students prepare for topic tests.

Our Science Fair was a big success.  Held in February, the students demonstrated their skills In very creative ways.  Who will win the 2010 Science Fair?  We expect great results from eighth grade, but sixth and seventh grade students do their best to outdo the eighth grade.
