Test review

This week we are reviewing for the NJASK Science and our class test on the living and nonliving environment. A practice test was given today to famaliarize you with the format and to identify your strong/weak areas. The rest of this week will be dedicated to refreshing your memory on science concepts. Also, a study guide was given for Friday's class test. The study guide should be completed by Thursday. Left your study guide in school? Click here.

Relationships in the ecosystem

Through a class activity, we discovered that organisms can share a relationship with one another. This is called symbiosis. We looked at 3 specific forms: mutualism (+/+), commensalism (+/0), and parasitism (+/-). The signs in parentheses show how the organism either benefits or not benefits.

HW: Complete both sides of the worksheet. Use your notes to help you.

Test on Friday: Living/Nonliving environment and taxonomy. A study guide will be given to help you organize your notes to study from

The remainder of this week will be dedicated to prepping for the NJASK 8 Science. Please ask me for help on concepts you need help with.

NJ ASK 8 Science

You should have received an informational booklet regarding state testing in April. Yes, there is a science state test (April 30). We will be reviewing concepts the week before state testing. I also am more than happy to put together material on concepts you know you need help in.

Check out this site to practice some concepts.
