Science Week!!! A midway overview :)

With our upcoming research project (next week), we decided to spend this entire week focused on Science. Can't complain about that!

We started the week with some awesome genetics research presented by Mandi and Clarissa and Carmel on Anencephaly and Colon Cancer and continued our awesome discussion on the periodic table. Tuesday, we got a chance to flex our lab skills while making (and burning) some hydrogen gas.

Thank you to Samaya and Ella for their awesome presentation on Albanism and to everyone for our awesome discussion on Bohr diagrams. Please remember to complete your periodic table homework and workbook pages 28-31. 

And most importantly, Chapter 2 Quiz Friday!! 

See you tomorrow :)
