Howdy,
This week, we will begin a new unit: Unit 3: Cells. We will begin with Chapter 7: Cell Structure and Function. The homework and DUE dates are as follows:
Tuesday, Feb. 24: Isaac Newton, the famous physicist, once said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants". In a full paragraph, research what Newton meant by this statement. Who were the "giants" whose shoulders Newton stood on?
Friday, Feb. 27: This homework relates to our Mystery Class work. Ancient cultures of course had (what appeared to them) reasonable explanations for the causes of the seasons. In a short paragraph conduct research on this subject: how did they explain the seasons? Some cultures include Chinese, Incan, Mayan, Roman, Greek, Eskimo.
Have a great week,
-Mr. Pfiester
