-Don’t forget about the table on p. 275 to help with important squares and cubes!

·       Biology: Chapter 16; read the chapter then complete the “Observe” on page 325

·       Health: Skim chapter 6 then choose a medical career that you think may be interested in for yourself. In a brief, one-page essay, tell me what interests you and why you may consider it as a career for yourself. Use terms from the chapter as you research the specific job. There are six “Medical Careers” found within this chapter, but if you prefer you may choose one of 12 throughout the book. (Look at the 2nd page of the book, under “Contents” to find the page where all 12 careers are listed.)

·       Anatomy: Read chapter 12, the Lymphatic System. Then complete both “In the Lab” #9 on page 428 and #11 on page 443. When making your models, use any material available; play-dough, clay, slime, even food! There are great images online (and in the chapter) of the four structures you will create, as well as videos on YouTube for ideas.

·       Earth and Space: Read 10.1 – 10.3 (pages 281 – 304.) Complete 10A, front and back (if you can’t print, feel free to sketch the lunar phases and eclipses. Find a current news article pertaining to something you read in chapter 10 and write a brief, one-page essay on the article. Please include a picture or link of the article when you submit your work.

The work assigned in the packet will be due April 21st. Please let me know if you have any questions! You may print the handouts or just write your results from your experiments (or math problems) on plain paper to submit; you do not need a printer to complete any of my assignments. Also, I used all of the remaining "Christmas bonus points" in case some of you were wondering why your grade changed a few points. I have attached a link to all of the posted assignments that are not found in your book: LINK

Health:

·        Hand washing experiment (You will have to modify a bit since we are not actually in class; just do the best you can with a family member.) (Email results to me from the handout.)

Please do not go out and purchase anything for this project! Just use what you have around the house and make modifications as necessary. Feel free to search the internet for similar examples that the book details in order to use the materials you have on hand! (Email me a photo and description of your experiment!)

Algebra:

·        8.3, numbers 1-31, blue boxes (this ends up being 3 problems a day.) (Email a photo of your work, including the problem, work, and answer to me.)

I just want to let all of you know I love and miss you! I hope you are enjoying your "spring break!" 

We will be assigning a packet of work for the week of April 14th - 21st. Please let me know if you prefer to have an electronic assignment or prefer to pick up a paper packet at the school. 

I'm almost finished with grading the first packet. Thank you so much for all your hard work! I will accept box tops if you send me a picture of you with them telling me how many you have (max 100 per class.)

 Love and Prayers, Mrs. Stull

All work from the past two weeks (and any previous incomplete work) is due tomorrow, March 30th. If you have any questions about any of it, please reach out to me. Thanks again for all your hard work! 

Please read my original blog from the last day we had school to make sure you have turned in everything included in the packet. Some classes had assignments without a printed page in the folder. (Earth and Space had two end-of-section reviews and Anatomy had a chapter 9 study guide make.) I have tried to respond to every student that has missing work.
