Dear Parents,
MATH
SCIENCE
During the past month, the seventh grade has been exploring the science of water. We have done activities to understand how much of the water on earth is fresh water and saltwater. We also broke down the freshwater into key areas like ice, lakes, rivers, groundwater, and swamps. This allowed students to visually see how little of the entire water supply on the planet is useable freshwater. Then we had a rotation activity that had students discover all the properties of water. This included the concept of cohesion, adhesion, polar, reflection, and a few others. Students were shocked to understand all these science concepts of water, in the coming weeks we will start investigating weather and the science behind that concept.
