Mathematics This past week students were tasked with recalling and discussing multiplication and division of rational numbers. By working through common denominators, reciprocal numbers, long division, and numerousf other skills, the students have pressed well into the grade 9 year. This week we will finish rational numbers as a stand alone unit by looking at the order of operations and then writing our unit final exam on Thursday! Science During the past week, we worked on our websites and getting our Reproduction Page up and running. Everyone should be well into this project and should have editable sites available to look at and assess. Have you showed your parents yet or recently? If not, do it! Be proud of your work! In the coming week we will be looking at deoxyribonucleic acid and not just from a "look, I memorized a cool name" perspective! Let's spend some time and figure out what it is, what a gene is, what a chromosome is, and let's get rid of vaguely saying "DNA and genes are the stuff that makes you who you are" without explaining that statement. When you read this, think: what is DNA and what is a gene? By the end of the week we will ask the same questions and compare our differences.
