Bones!

 It's time to memorize the bones so we can proceed with the Artificial Body System (ABS). Students will create body Systems that actually work. It'll be alive,.... alive,...... alive,..........well maybe not actually living but working.

 We'll make muscles, digestive tracts, lymphatic systems, circulatory systems, respiratory systems, urinary tracts, and nervous systems. Then, we plan to hook them together!

It's Still a Dirty Snowball...........Barely!

 Some thought comet Ison disintegrated, but ..... it survived a close encounter with the our Sun. We'll take a look at some video and hopefully investigate more about what to expect with the now famous comet.
  We will also start a new project (Community Cell) concerning the function of organelles in plant or animal cells. Students will compare the function of these organelles to things in our own community that perform similar functions.
