Mr. Mansour’s Classroom Blog

This is the final week before the midterm report and a busy one for the science classes at JMSO.  In the sixth grade we’ll be reviewing our biome boxes and having a retake of the test from last week.  (This time, the sixth graders have to know about more than just the specific biome they studied). We’re also continuing to practice for our next Green Monkey presentation at St. Margaret Mary.  The seventh graders and I will be continuing our studies of DNA culminating in the extraction of DNA from a banana on Thursday.  In the 8th grade science class, we’re still working on our podcasts.  I mistakenly thought that 20 minutes was long enough for students to complete their podcast.  Since we only have two computers to work with this is going to take a little bit longer than originally planned.
