• Welcome!

    This site will be used to list what we’re studying, resources, interesting sites, practice tests, notes from class, and activities that relate to our topic. Some of those activities will be used in class while there may be some that are strictly listed for fun. Most links will be science related and should be very kid-safe. I check each site myself to ensure that there is no content that might be objectionable.
