Get ready for Spring Break but do not forget about everything we have done so far! We had a great week of meteorites and discussions about critical reading. There will be no homework over the break (3rd hour, you got lucky), but I will have several extra credit opportunities for you. There are two new Science Battles that will be due on Monday the 24th of March and some critical reading for you as well.

KEPLER SPACE TELESCOPE

If you are interested in more information on the Kepler then click here. This NASA website is full of cool stuff about the telescope. Imagine being able to find new worlds!

Extra Credit Reading:

In Newsela there are two new articles that I have added to your Binder. They are Mapping Out Biodiversity in the Tropics (Read at 1030L) and Strange Disease Kills Thousands of Starfish along the West Coast (Read at 970L). Both are assigned today so check the dates if you are unsure about which article to read. The quiz on the starfish article is extra credit. A short summary of the article written by you will be extra credit on the Biodiversity article (put in One Note).

Have a great break!
