Students will be able to:
use the information from hands-on activities and classroom discussions to
-review for the science FCAT 2.0.

Students did three lab activities today to review for the science FCAT. The activities centered on reviewing earth and space science science concepts.

Students identified and matched pictures to the phases of the moon.

Students also determined how heat energy is absorbed by dark materials by measuring the change in temperature on a regular surface and a dark surface.

Finally, students identified both the internal structure of the earth and how convergent and divergent plates change the Earth's surface using a Snickers bar.

Students should study all notes, including those taken in 6th and 7th grade in preparation for the FCAT.
