Weekly Update

Science
This week in science students finished writing and typing up their analysis for the final experiment for Solutions and Pollutions. They got to design their own way of cleaning the waste water and make recommendations to the company based on their findings. We also took a trip with PMR and had a great time taking samples and examining life in the Puget Sound.

Hill Social Studies
We looked this week at the writing of the Constitution and how it is the framework for the United States Government. Students discussed the difficulties and advantages of a constitutional government and how they would set it up. We had many great conversations about the balance of power in the original 13 states.



Language Arts
We continue to listen to the student-written plays in writing.  We’ve been studying farce so the plays are getting pretty funny.  We are preparing for the Triad Playwriting Festival that will be held on the last day of school, from 11:30-12:30.  Six plays will be chosen next week to get a staged reading.
