This Week in Biology (Feb 16-19)

 In Biology, Scholars Prep Science - 7th Grade

Dear Parents and students,

This week the students will continue to study bacteria and viruses. The microscopic world is both amazing and terrifying!

Please keep in mind that the District Science Fair will be Saturday,  February 13!!

If your student’s project moved up to compete in the district fair, they will need to present their project via google meet.

Students need to arrive in the ‘Student Waiting Room Meet’ on time.  Students will wait in the meeting room for a teacher to come get them.  They will then proceed to the meeting link that the teacher pastes in the meeting chat.

  • 9:45am – High School
  • 10:15am – Junior High

Student Waiting Room Meet – Students start here – meet.google.com/jaf-ayhc-atr
