Science Exam - Suggested activities and links

Remember your Science exam will be on Tuesday, October 23rd. You need to study Chapter 1 from your Life Science book. You can find the link to the book in the September 2012 archives. For Science, check the "Life Science" section. For Geography, check the "Earth Science" section- the exam is from Chapter 6.

You also need to read your notebook summaries and check the Workbook exercises which will help you review main ideas and vocabulary words.

You can also check the October 2011 archives where you will find several links with information about living organisms, animal and plant classification, etc.

Here is a link to an interesting video about animal cells:
