Grade 8 Feb 6 Discussions and "Interesting Pages"

Mr. 1649 gave a short description of XYLEM and PHLOEM.   One carries water UP from the roots to the leaves.  The other plant system  carries sugar from the leaf to all parts of the plant.

Damascus talked about the S P and D areas of the periodic table.
Hmmmm   We can learn from her!   S is the lowest energy level.

Mr. Valley gave a short talk about how "a sheet about DNA" and "a sheet about the table of elements" are related.  "We can see that nitrogen is in the DNA structure."

Sherlock discussed a photo in the book showing a space capsule. We might discuss in the future how someone in this room might travel into space.

We ask each student to stand up and talk about two pages and some diagrams.  In this way, we can connect many ideas.  By reviewing the book in many ways, we have books that we want to copy and review.
