Optional experiments and activities relating to the scientists each week. I highly encourage students to participate if possible.

Informal assessment through classroom review.
35 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
We will use a Kahoot game each week to review. Students can use the Kahoot app downloaded to a phone or tablet or just go to kahoot.it in a web browser with a parents help to play the game. Students will always have the option of playing on a team with the teacher instead of signing into the game.
