Science Assessment

We will have a science assessment on Tuesday, September 30. I posted a review on Google Classroom. The assessment will cover...

-soil
-soil properties
-uses for soil
-weathering
-erosion
-deposition
-affects of weathering, erosion, and deposition

Students may bring their journal home to review over the weekend. The journals need to be back in class on Monday. There is also a Jeopardy game in our Extra Copies page.

You can also use the following links to help you review!
