Start reviewing everything that has been studied this year. Remember that the standards are in your textbook. Review them and be prepared to work on them during class as we begin Chemistry part 2.
EOC for B Day is 5/17.
EOC for A Day is 5/20.
Remember it counts as 20% of your grade.

Upcoming Dates for Science Testing
Both sessions of Science FCAT 2.0 are scheduled for THURSDAY, April 18. This is a cumulative exam over benchmarks from sixth through 8th grade.
The Science EOC is scheduled for your class period on either May 8 or May 9. This exam is over all of the benchmarks and learning targets for the entire 8th grade curriculum. You may begin reviewing by reviewing your textbook and notes.
I will continue adding resources for your review. Have you taken the tour of the cryosphere yet?

The Gradebook is under revision
I am currently in the process of adding grades to the gradebook. I am allowing students to make up or complete the following in order to maximize their success. Periods 5, 6, & 7 worked on assignments/assessments today. Periods 2 & 4 will work on them tomorrow. The following are high priority assignments/assessments to be completed. All of these were listed on the blog with due dates.
On Pearson
LSA 5 BASELINE (no it's not optional, it was assigned)
LSA 5 POST TEST
LSA 6 Baseline (very important so that the printout of the score will indicate areas of strength and weakness with respect to benchmarks) - the Post test is next week.
FCAT EXPLORER
All of the middle school sections should be complete. There are 256 questions. Yes, I did pull the results at a little after 0001 today since the due date was 04/01 @ 2359 or 11:59pm. I will recalculate anyone's grade on Thursday if there has been a change in score or accuracy.

Watch as this NASA animation shows the sun blasting out a giant explosion of magnetic energy called a coronal mass ejection and the Earth being shielded from this by its powerful magnetic field. The sun also continuously showers the Earth with light and radiation energy. Much of this solar energy is deflected by the Earth's atmosphere or reflected back into space by clouds, ice and snow. What gets through becomes the energy that drives the Earth system, powering a remarkable planetary engine -- the climate.
The unevenness of this solar heating, the cycles of day and night, and our seasons are part of what cause wind currents to circulate around the word. These winds drive surface ocean currents and in this animation you can view these currents flowing off the coast of Florida.
Earth’s Water Cycle 5:53

Water is the fundamental ingredient for life on Earth. Looking at our Earth from space, with its vast and deep ocean, it appears as though there is an abundance of water for our use. However, only a small portion of Earth's water is accessible for our needs. How much fresh water exists and where it is stored affects us all. This animation uses Earth science data from a variety of sensors on NASA Earth observing satellites as well as cartoons to describe Earth's water cycle and the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.
Sensors on a suite of NASA satellites observe and measure water on land, in the ocean and in the atmosphere. These measurements are important to understanding the availability and distribution of Earth's water -- vital to life and vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on a growing world population.
