Science - Davis

Science test on Tuesday October 21.

Students have now had 6 out of 10 full class periods to work on their space research projects. Please ask your child how their research is going on the project. They should have completed approximately ½ a page of point form notes and one good reference each day they’ve had to work on their project. They have also been studying how the analysis of light from stars (spectral analysis) helps scientists study the elemental makeup of stars.
