Here, I will share some of the things I'm learning in 8th grade science.

Our monthly goals will also be described. The goal for August and September was curiosity. Activities that we did for this were a microscopy lab, a Wonder Journal, water testing, a cicada lab, and a Hungry Hungry Sphero Challenge. My favorite was doing water testing because I enjoyed going outside and walking around town. 

My favorite project so far would be the Seismic safe Building Challenge! I enjoyed working on this project because there was a lot of strategies need, and me personally I LOVE to build and problem solve. But most importantly I loved working with my teammate, she was very focused and wanted to have fun but caused no interference into what I was working with/on. I enjoyed the other projects too but this one would have to be my favorite overall. I´m very excited to see what other EDC´s we will work with!

For this update i enjoyed our Frog bit projects, water testing, chickenology, punnet squares, alien genetics, mitosis and meiosis, evolution, and rock pocket mouse projects. I definently enjoyed the frogbit priject the most, it wasn't really hard but also wasn't effortless. 

Personally, I had a fun time in Mrs. Lacrosse's class. We did labs almost every few weeks and learned in a fun way, instead of sitting down copying notes, we were active, for example walking to different bodies of water to see the difference over time. What i enjoyed least was projects without partners and sitting around just copying notes. I would love to learn more about genetics in the future, it's very interesting to me. I'd definitely love to do more labs based on genetics.
