Magnet Science II

  • Supplies needed for class:

    • Notebook dedicated for science (I will collect them at times through out the year)
    • Folder for handouts
    • Pen or Pencil

     In Magnet Science II the students continue to understand how scientists work. We will be learning how the electromagnetic spectrum will be used to better understand what we know about the universe around us. The students will present their findings from their own individual inquiry project at Murray's Science Fair in January. Link to the web classroom to get to the current assignment and more detailed descriptions. Second trimester we will work to understand how chemical reactions happen and the third trimester will be spent on standards in life sciences.
