There will be no SNA, but that does not mean you can't still read science articles. One came out just today about how US college students are showing actual addiction to text messaging and social networks. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20954/20100426/ustudents-suffering-from-internet-addiction-study.htm

Week of April 19

We are charging ahead. This week in science we are studying digestion and circulation. Day one will be vocabulary on the digestive system. Day two will be a lab about chemical digestion and time for the section questions. Day three will be vocabulary on the circulatory system and a lab about the same system. Day four will be a vocabulary quiz over the sections on nerves, digestion and circulation, so make sure your science dictionaries are up to date.
