11/6

This was my first week back from my maternity leave. We spent time this week finishing our cell analogy projects and reviewing for our cell and microscope test. In our next chapter, we will focus on processes that allow cells to obtain resources, produce food and energy, and reproduce. We began our "Carrot Osmosis Lab" on Friday, in which we submerged baby carrots in fresh and salt water. We will see how our carrots have changed on Monday and also discuss how osmosis works. Next week we will explore the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and fermentation.

I just wanted to thank the students for making my first week back a great one! I have enjoyed getting to know the 7th graders, and I look forward to a great year with them!
