Midterm Reports

On Wednesday and Thursday, November 4-5, Incredibles Science teachers will print midterm reports for students whose parents used the green paper (sent home with report cards) to request paper copies of the reports.

Parents who use PowerSchool can monitor their students' grades at any time online.

So, What's Going On in Civics Class?

The Incredibles students are working very hard on learning some tough abstract concepts in Civic, topics like federalism, separation of powers, and checks and balances. It won't be long before we have a test on these concepts and then we will begin looking closely at all three branches of government.

Students are encouraged to stay up on current events, because everything that happens in the news can be tied into our civics lessons. Many times, we use these topics as a jumping off point to our lesson that we are covering that day or week in class.

What's Up in Science

In the second six weeks Incredibles students will continue working on lab safety. We will have several microscope labs so students can learn the proper way to use a microscope.

We will continue learning about the Cell Theory--All living things are composed of cells. We will learn about cell structure, cell organelles and the differences and similarities between plant and animal cells. We will also learn about cell processes like diffusion and osmosis and the chemical compounds in cells.

During the second half of the six weeks we will focus on Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. We will learn about each of these processes and how they are related.
