This Week in Biology Aug 16-20

 In Biology, Scholars Prep Science - 7th Grade

Dear Parents and students,

The first semester of this class is full of hands-on labs.  This week the students had the opportunity to test the PH of various substances and see the amazing properties of water.  Next week we will create a cell membrane (and probably have fun with bubbles). It only gets more exciting from here!   For those who love adventure their hearts are full! 

Here is our class schedule for next week:
