Hi parents,

The end of the quarter is near, and we will be halfway through the school year. Students will have a cumulative science test on Monday, with material covering everything we have learned so far this year. The test will be a combination of free response, true/false, and word bank questions. To study, students should look at their past projects that have been passed back, as well as their Zingy lessons.

Here is a list of concepts they should be sure to know:
Parts of an atom: electrons, protons, neutrons
How to read the periodic table: atomic number
Plant growth
How to design an experiment: variables, constants, hypotheses,
Species names, taxonomy
Digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems
Photosynthesis and respiration

In addition, all take-home projects and Zingy lessons will be due on Wednesday, January 29th.

Please email Ms. Miller at ecmiller@ucsd.edu with questions.
