Happy New Year

We are going to begin the year with a unit on earthquakes and move right into our unit on volcanoes.  The two are very closely related, so it only makes sense to have them back to back.  We will be using the textbook as well as online resources to learn about earthquakes.  The engineering project will be modified slightly and be finished in the next two weeks - that's the plan right now.


Check out this project submission from the Plate Tectonics unit.  Very well done and a wonderful "student-choice" project.  http://sci-7abbott.weebly.com/


There will be lots of work to do in the next month or so.  It will be very important to stay focused and on task.  The living museum is scheduled for January 28.  We have much to do in a short period of time.  You will be busy.
