7TH LIFE SCIENCE
First of all...GREAT job to all of you on your Science Fair projects. You all worked so hard and focused yourselves so well. You need to be proud of your work and fell a sense of accomplishment.
Also, don't overlook the "lessons" that doing a SF project taught you...do you like big projects? What were you happiest with? What could have been improved...always take the time to reflect...no matter what you do in life...think about how you think!
This week we've begun a combined 2-chapter unit (Ch's 8 & 9) on the debate between Creation and Evolution. My goal is to lay out clearly the terms, beliefs, and evidence for both biblical creation and Darwinian evolution...and to enable the students to form their own views of this hot topic.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Thurs 10 - Draft of crossword puzzle due; packet assigned.
Tues 16 - Final copy of crossword puzzle due
Wed 17 - * Planned guest speaker: The Christian View of Creation (TBD)
