EOC' s are over! Field Trip and Final Project

Hey!
The EOC's for Science are over! Next is the final project. Students have been given a rubric  and need 6
feet of pipe insulation. This pipe needs to be cut in half lengthwise. They are to create a Roller Coaster to meet the rubric in class. They may bring anything to help them complete the project.
The Field Trip to EPCOT is filling up. There are 35 more seats left for sale. There is also room for more chaperons. The more Chaperons the smaller the groups. Currently, the groups will be about six students to an adult.
Remember the bus will leave at 7:00 ( 0700). The students should be here by 6:30 (0630). We plan to return at 9:00 pm.(2100). We will have the students call on phones when we get to St. Augustine,to give you a clearer time we will be back.
Thank you.

Team Study Guide created by Mrs. Smith

Study Guide for EOC


As you know, you will be taking the End of Course Exam soon. The test was written based on the benchmarks identified by our curriculum. You have or will be taught lessons in support of all of the benchmarks that may be tested on the EOC. I anticipate that it will be a fairly rigorous test because everything for the year will be tested. In order to help you review at home along with the review that we do in school I have prepared a study guide. The study guide is based on the benchmarks, vocabulary, and topics that you have learned this year. I anticipate that if you can do all of the tasks, know all of the vocabulary, and have worked hard all year you should be prepared to go in and do well on the test. I will provide microprinted copies of the study guide so if you want a full size one, you should print your own at home or at the Jacksonville Public Library. Remember, you are supposed to be able to print up to 5 free pages a day (according to my library). You have access to the HOLT Red book online and you have the Green book at home. We will review during a portion of 2 of your classes next week - you still have to finish your roller coasters.

Copy this link and paste it into the address bar to access the study guide.
