Photosynthesis quiz has been passed back and we are working on Section 2 of Chapter 2- Respiration, covering pages 55-59.
There should be 6 key terms(found on page 75 in their vocab section of their notebooks.
There will be a quiz on Friday covering both Sections 1 & 2 for all classes. Once again they will have to memorize the the chemical equation for both photosynthesis and respiration and understand it.
With the exception of Block 3 and Block 2, they will have a homework assignment(page 59) of the Section Review due Thurs.

Leaf Album Project
Our leaf projects are pretty much finished as far as collecting leaves. I do have some extras in the back of my room of some species and am available after school on Mon. & Thurs. for extra help. By Friday, November 6th, I will expect them to be passed in. They will be docked one letter grade if they are late. Students should be encouraged to do their best with what they have.


Leaf Album Rubric/Guideline
They need to have all their leaves labeled with both scientific and common names.
Albums should have a visually attractive cover page.
A table of contents in the same order as in the leaf guide should be included with numbered pages.
All pages should have additional artwork such as construction paper embellishments and pictures.
