This week, students are asked to explain the sexual reproduction cycle of a flower in their own words. The explanation can be one paragraph long,providing that the appropriate terminology is in place.
Science in the News
This week, students are asked to find newspaper or magazine articles that reflect some aspect of Science. It could be about any newsworthy events or discoveries regarding scientific topics . The students need to attach the article to a piece of loose leaf and write one paragraph about the article and another paragraph about why they thought this article was of interest. That’s a total of two paragraphs that need to be written by the student.
