GOALS :
              Strive to be the best student you can be. Remain abreast of new research and
              innovative methods. Smaller goals often fall flat without a link to students
              dreams and passions.
              In biology, we are working on the structure of an Atom. We are using
              PowerPoints, textbook, online textbooks, mini clips and class participation to
              ensure all needs are being met. When this quarter is over students will know
              how to relate properties of atoms and their position in the periodic table to the
              arrangement of their electrons. Explore the scientific theory of atoms (also
              known as atomic theory) by describing the structure of atoms in terms of
              protons, neutrons and electrons, and differentiate among these particles in
Ms. Foreman   terms of their mass, electrical charges and locations within the
              atom. Students will know how to differentiate between protons, neutrons,
              and electrons in terms of their mass, electrical charges, and locations within
Biology       the atom.

 In Earth Science, we are currently studying the milky galaxy. We are
  conducting class discussions, verbal explanations, videos, and study
  guides to ensure each student receives the lesson. After this lesson,
  students will be able to cite evidence used to develop and verify the
  scientific theory of the Big Bang (also known as the Big Bang Theory) of
  the origin of the universe. Recognize that the Milky Way is part of the
  expanding universe, recognize that the universe consists of many
  galaxies, including the Milky Way, and also recognize that when objects
  move away from each other, the distance between them expands.
